engine coolant is unavailable.
6 Start the hybrid system and turn the
air conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fan oper-
ates and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air conditioning system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by checking the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on and off repeatedly. (The fan may not operate in freezing tem-peratures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately
and contact any authorized Lexus
retailer or Lexus authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the fan is 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
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2 Stop the hybrid system and care-
fully lift the hood.
3 After the hybrid system has cooled
down, inspect the hoses and radia-
tor core (radiator) for any leaks.

Cooling fan
If a large amount of coolant leaks, immedi-
ately contact any authorized Lexus retailer
or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
4 The coolant level is satisfactory if it
is between the “F”/“FULL” and
“L”/“LOW” lines on the reservoir.

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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 com-
partment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “READY” indicator is 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 rotat-ing 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
coolant reservoir caps while the hybrid system and radiator are hot.High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid sys- tem has cooled down sufficiently. Adding
cool coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.
■To prevent damage to the cooling sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
