When trouble arises
GS450h_300h_OM_OM30F92E_(EE) Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator 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 op
erating by checking the fan sound and air
flow. If it is difficult to check these, tu rn the air conditioning system on and off
repeatedly. (The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If “Hybrid System Overheated Reduced Output Power” is shown on the
multi-information display
Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Stop the hybrid system and carefully lift the hood.
After the hybrid system has cooled down, inspect the hoses and radiator
core (radiator) for any leaks.

WARNING
■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 h ood, 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 indi cator 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 operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch
or approach rotating parts such as the fan, 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 inlet cap or the
coolant reservoir caps while the hybrid sys-
tem and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.GS450h
