When trouble arises
7995-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle overheats
Correction procedures
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning
system, and then stop the engine.
If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
After the engine 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 Lexus
dealer.
The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “FULL” and “LOW”
lines on the reservoir.
Reservoir

8005-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Add coolant if necessary.
(
 P. 6 7 1 )
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the engine and turn the air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fans op erate and to check for coolant
leaks from the radiator or hoses. The fans operate when the air conditio ning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking
the fan sound and air flow. If it is diff icult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning 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 your Lexus dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.STEP 5
CAUTION■
To prevent an accident or injury when in specting 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 compartm ent may be very hot, causing serious
injuries such as burns.●
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 serious injury.
●
Do not loosen the radiator cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may resu lt from hot coolant and steam released
under pressure.STEP 6
