When trouble arises
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fa ns operate and to check for coolant
leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately
after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking the fan
sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air conditioning sys-
tem on and off repeatedly. (The fans may not operate in freezing tempera-
tures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.

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 indicator on the
“POWER” switch and the “READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automatically
start, or the cooling fan may suddenly oper ate even if the gasoline engine stops.
Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fin-
gers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, resulting in
serious injury.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap or the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid sys-
tem and radiator are hot. High temper ature steam or coolant could spray out.
