The coolant in this tank is hot even  
if the engine and radiator are cold.  
For replacement of the coolant,  
contact your Toyota dealer.  
Do not touch bolts (9 pieces)  
painted in yellow.  
In case the bolts are loosened,  
there is a risk of hot coolant com-

Electric water pump  
Coolant heat storage  
tank  
When this has any malfunction, the  
surface of this tank gets hot. To  
prevent burning yourself, do not  
touch the tank.  
The coolant heat storage tank system  
stores hot coolant and feeds it via the  
electric water pump automatically to warm  
the engine as required. This system helps  
generate clean emissions. To confirm the  
coolant heat storage system check, the  
pump may operate automatically with the  
vehicle stopped (in the “IGOFF” mode).  
Your engine is fitted with iridium−tipped  
spark plugs.  
NOTICE  
Use only iridium−tipped spark plugs.  
Do not adjust gaps for engine perfor-  
mance or smooth drivability.  
INFORMATION  
D In such cases as the time of engine  
starting and a short trip after the  
engine is stopped, the electric water  
pump will work for a moment, but  
this is no problem.  
Although the pump may operate and  
cause noise while the vehicle is stopped,  
this does not indicate a malfunction.  
D This is for the preparation for good  
emission.
