The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and
“LOW” lines on the reservoir.
Reservoir
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
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 t he radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the temperature setting is adjusted to “LO” and
“A/C” switch (
*1 • *2) is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking the fan sound
and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the “A/C” switch
(
*1 • *2) on and off repeatedly. (The fans may not
operate in freezing temperatures.)

Overheated” is shown on the multi-information display.
If the message d oes not disappear:
Stop the hybrid system and contact your Toyota dealer.
If the message is not displayed:

WARNING
■ To prevent an accident or injury 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 ho od until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “Accessory”,
“Ignition ON” or mileage display ( P. 205) on the main display and the
“READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may au tomati-
cally start, or the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if the gasoline
engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as t he 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 reservoir caps while the hybrid syste m and radi-
ator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
