Maintenance and care
WARNING
●Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan.
●Be careful not to touch the engine, power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other flu-ids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel or 12- volt battery. Fuel and 12-volt battery fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when work-ing on the 12-volt battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-age painted surfaces. If fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
■When working near the electric cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is OFF.
With the power switch in ON, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on
and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P.393)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner fil- ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill- ing, it may indicate a serious problem.

■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool-
ant” or a similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 35°C [-31°F])
For more details about coolant, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■If the coolant level drops within a
short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine/power control unit coolant reser-
voir caps, drain cock and water pump. If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, test the cap and check for leaks in the cooling system.
WARNING
■When the hybrid system is hot
Do not remove the engine/power con-
trol unit coolant reservoir caps. ( P.483)
The cooling system may be under
pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor
straight antifreeze. The correct mix- ture of water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication,
corrosion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.

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 compartment 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 oper- ate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch or approach
rotating parts such as the fan, which may lead to fingers or cloth-ing (especially a tie, a scarf or a
muffler) getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen 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 con-trol 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 dam- age to the hybrid system.
■To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or
dust etc.).
