■If “Hybrid System Overheat” is shown on the multi-information dis-
play
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Stop the hybrid system and carefully lift the hood.
After the hybrid system has
cooled down, inspect the
hoses and radiator core (radia-
tor) for any leaks.
The coolant level is satisfactory
if it is between the “FULL” and
“LOW” line on the reservoir.

Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and check for the multi-information display.
If the message does not disappear:

When trouble arises
CAUTION
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the
steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●Check that the indicator on the “POWER” switch and the “READY” indicator are
off.
●On hybrid vehicles, the gasoline engine may automatically start, or the cooling
fan may suddenly operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch or
approach rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fingers or clothing
(especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap while the hybrid system and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid
system.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use commercially available coolant additives.
