Checking the coolant level
If the coolant level drops within a short
time after replenishing, there may be a
leak in the system. Visually check the
radiator, hoses, coolant filler cap, radiator
cap and drain cock and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your Toyota
dealer test the cap pressure and check
for leaks in the cooling system.

Checking tire inflation
Checking brake fluid pressure
If the fluid level goes down soon after
your vehicle is serviced, it may indicate
a serious mechanical problem. Have
your vehicle checked by a Toyota deal-
er.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your hands or
eyes. If fluid gets on your hands or
in your eyes, flush the affected area
with clean water immediately. If you
still feel uncomfortable with your
hands or eyes, go to the doctor.
To check the fluid level, simply look at
the see-through reservoir. The level
should be between the "MAX" and NOTICE
"MIN" lines on the reservoir.
If brake fluid is spilled on the vehicle,
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go be sure to wipe it off to prevent dam-

when the fluid level in the accumulator is

If the level is low, take your vehicle to

not drive your vehicle if the red brake
