■When inspecting under the 
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from 
under the hood, do not open the 
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has 
been turned off , check that the 
“READY” indicator is off.
When the hybrid system is oper-
ating, the gasoline engine may 
automatically start, or the cool-
ing fan may suddenly operate 
even if the gasoline engine 
stops. Do not touch or approach 
rotating 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 radiator cap 
and the 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 system has cooled down 
sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to 
a hot hybrid system too quickly 
can cause damage to the hybrid 
system.
