WARNING
■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 operating, 
the gasoline engine may auto-
matically start, or the cooling 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 coolant reser-
voir caps, while the hybrid sys-
tem and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or 
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding 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.
■To prevent damage to the 
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant 
with foreign matter (such as 
sand or dust, etc.,).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
