NOTICE
■To prevent damaging the vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle. This may cause serious damage to the
hybrid system.
■ When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables do not become tangled in the cooling fans
or belt when connecting or disconnecting the cables.

526 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Overheating
The following symptoms may occur when your vehicle is overheating:
●Hybrid system output decreases.
● Steam is coming from the engine area.
CAUTION
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
● With a hybrid vehicle, there are times when the gasoline engine automati-
cally starts to run or the cooling fans suddenly start to operate. Do not
touch or approach the rotating parts of the belt or fans. Doing so may lead
to fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in an accidental injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Wait until the hybrid system has cooled down before adding engine/power
control unit coolant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid sys-
tem too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.
