When trouble arises
IS300h_EE(OM53B95E)
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.
After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “READY” indica-
tor is off.
When the hybrid system operating, 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 belt and fan, which
may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting
caught, resulting in serious injury.
NOTICE
When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently. Add-
ing 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.).
When using coolant additives, use genuine Toyota products or equivalent.
Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps
or water filler cap while the hybrid sys-
tem and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
