    3. Move the front seat assembly to the rearmost position.

      Note

      Make sure that the front seat assembly is securely locked.

    4. Temporarily tighten the 2 bolts on the front side of the front seat assembly.

    5. Move the front seat assembly fully forward.

      Note

      Make sure that the front seat assembly is securely locked.

    6. Temporarily tighten the 2 bolts on the rear side of the front seat assembly.

    7. Move the front seat assembly to the rearmost position.

      Note

      Make sure that the front seat assembly is securely locked.

    8. Fully tighten the 2 bolts on the front side of the front seat assembly in the order of outer and inner side.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

    9. Move the front seat assembly fully forward.

      Note

      Make sure that the front seat assembly is securely locked.

    10. Fully tighten the 2 bolts on the rear side of the front seat assembly in the order of outer and inner side.

      Torque:
      39 N*m  { 398 kgf*cm, 29 ft.*lbf }

  8. ADD ENGINE COOLANT


    1. Fill the radiator reservoir assembly with coolant to the top of the inlet.

      Standard Capacity
      Item Specified Condition
      w/o Heater 12.3 liters (13.0 US qts, 10.8 Imp. qts)
      w/ Front Heater 13.3 liters (14.1 US qts, 11.7 Imp. qts)
      w/ Front and Rear Heaters 15.3 liters (16.2 US qts, 13.5 Imp. qts)

      Note

      Do not substitute plain water for engine coolant.

      Tech Tips


      • Use of improper coolants may damage the engine cooling system.

      • Use only Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology consists of a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

    2. B007OES

      Add coolant up to the B line mark in the radiator reservoir assembly and install the reservoir cap.

    3. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens.


      1. While the thermostat is open, circulate the coolant for several minutes.

        Tech Tips

        The thermostat open timing can be confirmed by pressing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and checking when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.

    4. B007W0B

      After the engine cools down, check that the coolant level is between the LOW and FULL level marks.

  9. START THE ENGINE

  10. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS
