Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools: funnel, coolant (specific to Toyota requirements), and rag or towel.
  • Ensure the engine is completely cool to prevent burns.
2. Open the Coolant Reservoir
  • Locate the coolant reservoir cap; it is usually labeled.
  • Twist the cap counterclockwise to remove it. If the cap is difficult to remove, use a rag for better grip.
3. Check Coolant Level
  • Observe the coolant level against the minimum and maximum markings on the reservoir.
  • If the coolant is low, proceed to add coolant.
4. Add Coolant
  • Using the funnel, slowly pour the recommended coolant type (usually a 50/50 mix of water and Toyota-approved coolant) into the reservoir.
  • Fill until the coolant reaches the maximum level mark.
5. Replace the Cap
  • Reinstall the coolant reservoir cap by twisting it clockwise until it is secure.
  • Ensure it is fully tightened to avoid any leaks.
6. Clean Up
  • Wipe any spilled coolant with a rag or towel.
  • Dispose of any waste materials according to local regulations.
