■Intercooler coolant reservoir (GS200t only)Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L” line,
add coolant up to the “F” line.
( → P. 5 9 6 )
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid
organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixt ure of 50% coolant and 50% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -35 °C [-31 °F])
For more details about coolant, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir caps, drain cock and water
pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling sys-
tem.

■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoi r cap, the intercooler coolant reservoir cap
or the coolant inlet cap. ( →P. 6 0 0 )
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is
removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of water and
antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion protection and cool-
ing. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

When trouble arises
GS350_200t_GS F_OM_OM30E87E_(EE)
Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to check that the radi-
ator cooling fans 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 system on and off repeatedly.
(The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and contact any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Lexus dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
■When adding engine coolant (GS350/GS200t)
Add coolant in accordance with the following procedure.
Remove caps A and B.
Add engine coolant through the inlet of cap A up to the “[AR/GR] B” line, and then
install cap A.
Add engine coolant through the inlet of cap B until it is full, and then install cap B.
GS200t only: When installing cap B, apply coolant to the O-ring on the end of cap B.

■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.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●GS350: Do not loosen the coolant inlet cap
or the engine coolant reservoir cap while the
engine and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
●GS F: Do not loosen the engine coolant res-
ervoir cap while the engine and radiator are
hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
●GS200t: Do not loosen the coolant inlet cap,
the engine coolant reservoir cap or the inter-
cooler coolant reservoir cap while the engine
and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
