■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, power control unit coolant reservoir
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.
Check the radiator and condenser
and clear away any foreign objects.
If either of the above parts is
extremely dirty or you are not sure
of their condition, have your vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■When the EV system is hot
Do not remove the power control unit
coolant reservoir caps.
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.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

■Coolant selection
In order to ensure maximum perfor-
mance of the traction battery cooling system and limit risks of battery short-circuit and other damage to your vehi-
cle, Toyota recommends using “Toyota Genuine Traction Battery Coolant” or
similar high-quality ethylene glycol-
based, low electric conductivity coolant, non-amine and non-borate coolant with azole additives.
Toyota cannot guarantee that the use of a product other than “Toyota Genuine Traction Battery Coolant” will prevent
risks of battery short-circuit or other damage.
Never use water as it will cause dam-
age.
Do not reuse coolant that has been removed from the radiator.
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 hoses, heater coolant
reservoir 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 electric cooling fan is operating
Do not touch the motor compartment.
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. Be sure the power switch is OFF
when working near the electric cool- ing fan or radiator grille.
