Well, since this is your first car, you really need the owners manual. It may be in the glove box still, if not consider purchasing one, either from a dealer or online, possibly amazon.com . This has all sorts of tips and info, such as the coolant fill line, tire pressures, windshield spray, etc.

You at least bought a very durable car, and I'm sure got it for a great deal by purchasing 2nd hand. Over the next few months you'll continue to learn stuff about the car. This is usual with any vehicle, so you should be O.K. Just keep the oil changed and fix any leaks and it won't let you down.

Ask question BEFORE you attempt to perform something you don't know, or haven't done. That's how you learn, and then you can be more confident when you actual commit to it. The manual is a good place to look first, as it points to something and you can look at it, and the car while trying.

Good luck.

Funny thign about the manual, is that it's in French. It was originally bought in Quebec, so, yeah. I'll have to drop by the Toyota Dealership at soem point I suppose.
