The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
The needle of the engine coolant
temperature gauge ( P.75)
enters the red zone, or a loss of
engine power is experienced.

7
When trouble arises
coolant is unavailable.
6Start the engine and turn the air
conditioning system on to check
that the radiator cooling fans oper-
ate and to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning
system is turned on immediately after a
cold start. Confirm that the fans are oper-
ating by checking the fan sound and air
flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the
air conditioning system on and off repeat-
edly.
(The fans may not operate in freezing tem-
peratures.)
7 If the fans are not operating:
Stop the engine immediately and
contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the
nearest Lexus dealer.
8 Check if “Engine Coolant Temp
High Stop in a Safe Place See
Owner's Manual” is shown on the
multi-information display.
If the message does not disappear:
Stop the engine and contact your Lexus
dealer.
If the message is not displayed:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Lexus dealer.
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 com-
partment may be very hot.
●Keep hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muff ler) away from the
fans and belts.
Failure to do so may cause the hands
or clothing to be caught, resulting in
serious injury.
●Do not loosen the radiator cap and the
coolant reservoir cap while the engine
and radiator are hot.
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.
