If your vehicle overheats
Correction procedures■ If the rightmost segment of th e engine coolant temperature
display are flashing
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condition-
ing system, and then stop the hybrid system.
If you see steam: Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam: Carefully lift the hood.
After the hybrid system has
cooled down sufficiently, inspect
the hoses and radiator core
(radiator) for any leaks.
Radiator
Cooling fans
If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.
●The rightmost segment of the engine coolant temperature dis-
play ( P. 174) is flashing or a lo ss of hybrid system power is
experienced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not
increase.)
● “HYBRID SYSTEM OVERHEAT” ( P. 503) is shown on the
multi-informat ion display.
● Steam comes out from under the hood.

CAUTION
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
● 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, caus-
ing serious injuries such as burns.
● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that on the
multi-information display and the “READY” indicator are off. When the
hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automatically start, or
the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if the gasoline engine stops.
Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fans, 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 coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
Serious injuries, 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.
■ 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 any coolant additive.

inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.
