2019 Lexus LC500 Air conditioning

3667-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge enters the red zone or
“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in
a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-information
display
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place and
turn off the air conditioning system,
and then stop the hybrid system.
2 If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the
steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
WARNING
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the
fan and belts. Failure to do so may
cause the hands or clothing to be
caught, resulting in serious injury.
●While the engine and radiator are hot,
do not loosen or remove the coolant
inlet cap or coolant reservoir cap.
High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine coolant
Add coolant slowly after the engine has
cooled down sufficiently. Adding cool
coolant to a hot engine too quickly can
cause damage to the engine.
■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.
If your vehicle overheats
(LC500h)
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
 The engine coolant temperature
gauge ( P.80) is in the red zone
or a loss of hybrid system power 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 Output
Power” is shown on the multi-
information display.
 Steam comes out from under the
hood.

Reservoir
“F” line
“L” line
Coolant inlet cap
5 Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emergency if 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 oper ate in freezing tem-
peratures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately
and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the
nearest Lexus dealer.
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.
