    4. Tighten the radiator drain cock sub-assembly (for Intercooler) by hand.
  5. ADD COOLANT (for Intercooler) 
    WARNING:

    Do not remove the reserve tank cap (for Intercooler) while the coolant (for Intercooler) is still hot. Pressurized, hot coolant and steam may be released and cause serious burns.

    NOTE:
    • Do not reuse the drained coolant because it may contain foreign matter.
    • If the vehicle is driven with air in the inverter cooling system, damage may occur and the following DTCs may be stored.

    1. When using the GTS:
      1. Remove the reserve tank cap (for Intercooler).
      2. Add engine coolant to the intercooler reserve tank filler opening until it is filled to the F line at shown in the illustration.

        NOTE:

        Never use water as a substitute for coolant.

        HINT: 

        TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, 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).

        1. Add coolant up to the infusion mouth in the intercooler reserve tank. full drives (around five minutes) a inverter water pump assembly (with motor) until coolants decrease.
        2. Add coolant up to the MAX line in the intercooler reserve tank. full drives (around two minutes) a inverter water pump assembly (with motor) until coolants decrease.
        3. Add coolant up to the MAX line in the intercooler reserve tank. full drives (around two minutes) a inverter water pump assembly (with motor) until coolants decrease.

        Repeat this operation approximately the sound of the inverter water pump assembly (with motor) gets smaller and no more bubbles are visible from the intercooler reserve tank or the coolant level in the intercooler reserve tank stabilizes. When this condition is reached, this indicates that air is completely bled from the coolant system.

        HINT: 

        If the intercooler reserve tank is filled excessively with coolant, coolant may spill out when the inverter water pump assembly (with motor) is stopped.

      3. When air is completely bled, add coolant up to the MAX line in the intercooler reserve tank, and install the reserve tank cap (for Intercooler).
    2. When not using the GTS:
      1. Remove the reserve tank cap (for Intercooler).
      2. Add engine coolant to the intercooler reserve tank filler opening until it is filled to the F line at shown in the illustration.

      3. Install the reserve tank cap (for Intercooler). [*1]
      4. Start the engine. [*2]
      5. WARNING:
        • Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.
        • Keep your hands away from the cooling fan.
        NOTE:
        • Make sure that the coolant level in the intercooler reserve tank does not drop below the L line when the engine speed is 2000 rpm or higher.
        • Immediately after starting the engine, if the intercooler reserve tank runs out of coolant, perform the following: 1) stop the engine, 2) wait until the coolant has cooled down, and 3) pour in coolant until it reaches the F line.
        1. Add coolant up to the infusion mouth in the intercooler reserve tank. full drives (around five minutes) a inverter water pump assembly until coolants decrease.
        2. Add coolant up to the MAX line in the intercooler reserve tank. full drives (around two minutes) a inverter water pump assembly until coolants decrease.
        3. Add coolant up to the MAX line in the intercooler reserve tank. full drives (around two minutes) a inverter water pump assembly until coolants decrease. [*3]
      6. Stop the engine and wait until the coolant cools down to ambient temperature. [*4]
      7. Check that the coolant level is between the F and L lines. [*5]

        If the coolant level is lower than the L line, pour coolant of the specified concentration into the intercooler reserve tank until it reaches the F line, and repeat the procedure from steps [*1] to [*5].

        If the coolant level is above the F line, drain coolant so that the coolant level is between the F and L lines.
