How to Add Water to the Radiator in a Highlander?
1 Answers
Open the hood release switch located under the Highlander's cabin to lift the hood. The radiator is positioned on the right side. Remove the radiator cap and add water until it reaches the appropriate level, then securely replace the radiator cap and close the hood. Below are precautions for adding water to the Highlander's radiator: 1. Cool down and depressurize before adding water: If the engine temperature rises excessively and the radiator water level is insufficient, immediately stop the vehicle. Keep the engine idling to allow the fan to dissipate heat—do not turn off the engine to prevent cylinder sticking. 2. Exercise caution when opening the radiator cap: Stand on the upwind side of the radiator, wrap the cap with a damp cloth, and tilt your head and body to one side while slowly opening the cap.
