Maintenance and care
■Coolant selection 
Only use  “Toyota  Super  Long  Life  Coolant”  or  a  similar  high  qua lity ethylene 
glycol based non-silicate, non-am ine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with 
long-life hybrid organic acid technology. 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant an d 50% deion- 
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -35 C [-31F]) 
For  more  details  about  coolant,  contact  any  authorized  Toyota  r etailer  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 c oolant reservoir 
caps, drain cock and water pump.  
If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota retailer  or Toyota autho- 
rized  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 control unit coolant reservoir c aps. 
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot cool ant 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 mixture of 
water  and  antifreeze  must  be  used  to  provide  proper  lubrication ,  corrosion 
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coola nt label. 
■ If you spill coolant 
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging p arts or paint.

Add coolant if necessary.
Water  can  be  used  in  an  emer- 
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on  to 
check  that  the  radiator  cooling  fans  operate  and  to  check  for 
coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air  conditioning system is turned on immedi- 
ately after a  cold start.  Confirm  that the  fans  are  operating  b y  checking 
the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these,  turn the air con- 
ditioning  system  on  and  off  repeatedly.  (The  fans  may  not  opera te  in 
freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating: 
Stop  the  hybrid  system  immediately  and  contact  any  authorized 
Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  repairer,  or  any  reliable 
repairer. 
If the fans are operating: 
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.

When trouble arises
■If  “Hybrid  System  Overheated  Reduced  Output  Power.”  is 
shown on the multi-information display 
Stop the vehicle in a safe place. 
Stop the hybrid system and carefully lift the hood. 
After the hybrid system has cooled down, inspect the hoses and 
radiator core (radiator) for any leaks.

If  a  large  amount  of  coolant  leaks,  immediately  contact  any  aut ho- 
rized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  repairer,  or  any  rel iable 
repairer.
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” o r “F” 
and “LOW” or “L” lines on the reservoir.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■To  prevent  an  accident  or  injury  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 indicator on the 
power switch and the “READY” indicator are off. 
When  the  hybrid  system  is  operating,  the  gasoline  engine  may  au tomati- 
cally  start,  or  the  cooling  fans  may  suddenly  operate  even  if  t he  gasoline 
engine  stops.  Do  not  touch  or  approach  rotating  parts  such  as  t he  fan, 
which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scar f or a muffler) 
getting caught, resulting in serious injury. 
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps while the hybrid system and radi- 
ator 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  suff iciently. 
Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can caus e damage 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.). 
● Do not use any coolant additive.
