INVERTER
1. General
The inverter is an electric power converter that
converts the direct current of the Hybrid vehicle's
high-voltage battery (DC 273.6 V) and the alter-
nating current of the MG1 and MG2.
Consisting of 2 three-phase bridge circuits for
MG1 and MG2, respectively, and each containing
6 power transistors, the inverter converts direct
current and three-phase alternating current. The ac-
tivation of the power transistors is controlled by the
HV ECU. In addition, the inverter transmits in-
formation that is needed for current control, such as
the output amperage or voltage, to the HV ECU.
Together with MG1 and MG2, the inverter is
cooled by the dedicated radiator of the coolant
system that is separate from that of the engine.

3. Cooling System
A cooling system via water pump for the inverter
and MG1, 2 has been added.
The HV ECU controls the water pump with cool-
ant temperature.
It is separated with the engine cooling system.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. GENERAL NOTES

Maintenance items may vary from country to country. Check the owner's manual supplement in which
the maintenance schedule is shown.

Every serice item in the periodic maintenance schedule must be performed.

Periodic maintenance service must be performed according to whichever interval in the periodic main-
tenance schedule occurs first, the odometer reading (miles) or the time interval (months).

Maintenance service after the last period should be performed at the same interval as before unless
otherwise noted.
2. WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
Check that there is sufficient fluid in the tank.
3. ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check that the coolant level is between the ºFULLº and ºLOWº lines on the see±through reservoir.
4. RADIATOR AND HOSES
(a) Check that the front of the radiator is clean and not blocked with leaves, dirt or bugs.
(b) Check the hoses for cracks, kinks, rot or loose connections.
5. BRAKE FLUID LEVELS
Check that the brake fluid levels are near the upper level line on the see±through reservoirs.
6. CHECK TRANSAXLE OIL (FLUID)

Visually check the transaxle for oil (fluid) leakage.

If leakage is found, check for the cause and repair.
HINT:
Wait until the engine and motor cools down (approx. 30 min.) before checking the fluid level after extended
driving at high speeds, in hot weather, in heavy traffic or pulling a trailer.
