●The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge (P. 105) enters the
red zone or a loss of hybrid system po wer is experienced. (For example, the
vehicle speed does not increase.)
●“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual” or
“Hybrid System Overheated Reduced Ou tput Power” is shown on the multi-
information display.
●Steam comes out from under the hood.
■If the needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge enters the red zone
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and tu rn off the air conditioning 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.

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 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 “READY” indicator is off.
When the hybrid system 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 be lt and fan, which may lead to fingers or
clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a mu ffler) getting caught, resulting in serious
injury.

●Do not loosen the c oolant reservoir caps or
water filler cap while th e hybrid system and
radiator are hot. High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.

6489-1. Specifications
IS300h_EE(OM53D89E)
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold
startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for easier starting of
the engine in cold weather.
• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscos ity characteristic of the oil when the
oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or
under extreme lo ad conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks ar e added to some oil containers to help
you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SN”
means the oil quality designation by American Petroleum Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-20”
means the SAE viscosity grade. Lower portion: “Resource-Conserv-
ing” means that the oil has fuel-saving
and environmental protection capa- bilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specificatio n Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certifica-
tion Mark is displayed on the front of the container.
