IS350 AWD/IS350/IS300 AWD/IS300_U
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.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fans and
belts. Failure to do so may cause the hands or clothing to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
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 system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreig n matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
●IS350 AWD/IS350/IS300 AWD: Do notloosen the coolant inlet cap or coolant reser-
voir cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
(The coolant inlet cap is located under the
engine cover.)
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
●IS300: Do not loosen the coolant inlet cap,
coolant reservoir cap, or intercooler reser-
voir cap while the engine and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could
spray out.
