WARNING
The engine compartment contains 
many mechanisms and fluids that 
may move suddenly, become hot, 
or become electrically energized. 
To avoid death or serious injury, 
observe the following precautions.
■When working on the engine 
compartment
●Make sure that the “ACCES-
SORY” or “IGNITION ON” on 
the multi-inform ation display 
and the “READY” indicator are 
both off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving fan and 
engine.
ItemsParts and tools●Be careful not to touch the 
engine, inverter, radiator, 
exhaust manifold, etc., right 
after driving as they may be hot. 
Oil and other fluids may also be 
hot.
●Do not leave anything that may 
burn easily, such as paper and 
rags, in the engine compart-
ment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or 
expose an open flame to fuel.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator 
grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON, the 
electric cooling fa n may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant 
temperature is high. ( P.461)
■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 
filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter 
removed may cause excessive 
engine wear due to  dirt in the air.

Maintenance and care
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the “LOW” 
line, add coolant up to the “FULL” 
line. ( P.535)
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life 
Coolant” 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.
U.S.A.:“Toyota Super Long Life 
Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant 
and 50% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -31°F [-
35°C])
Canada: “Toyota Super Long Life 
Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant 
and 45% deionized water.
(Minimum temperature: -44°F [-
42°C])
For more details about coolant, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
■If the coolant level drops within 
a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, 
engine coolant reser voir cap, inter-
coolant reservoir cap, drain cock 
and water pump.
If you cannot find  a leak, have your 
Toyota dealer test the cap and 
check for leaks in the cooling sys-
tem.
Check the radiator, condenser 
and intercooler radiators 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 your 
Toyota dealer.
■Checking fluid level
The brake fluid level should be 
between the “MAX” and “MIN” 
WARNING
■When the hybrid system is 
hot
Do not remove the coolant reser-
voir cap.
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 coolant label.
■If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to 
prevent it from damaging parts or 
paint.
Checking the radiator, 
condenser and inter-
cooler radiators
WARNING
■When the hybrid system is 
hot
Do not touch the radiator, con-
denser or intercooler radiators or 
condenser as they may be hot 
and cause serious injuries, such 
as burns.

When trouble arises
■If the engine coolant tem-
perature gauge enters the 
red zone or “Engine Cool-
ant Temp High Stop in a 
Safe Place See Owner’s 
Manual” is shown on the 
multi-information display
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe 
place and turn off the air con-
ditioning system, and then 
stop the hybrid system.
2 If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after 
the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
3 After the hybrid system has 
cooled down sufficiently, 
inspect the hoses, engine 
radiator core (radiator) and 
intercooler radiator core 
(radiator) for any leaks.
If a large amount of coolant leaks, 
immediately cont act your Toyota  dealer.

Intercooler radiators
4 The coolant level is satisfac-
tory if it is between the “F” or 
“FULL” and “L” or “LOW” 
lines on the reservoir.
If  your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.
The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge ( P.91) 
enters the red zone or a loss of engine (hybrid system) power i s 
experienced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not 
increase.)
 “Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s 
Manual” is shown on the multi-information display.
Steam comes out from under the hood.

When trouble arises
6 Start the hybrid system to 
check that the radiator cool-
ing fan operates and to check 
for coolant leaks from the 
radiator or hoses.
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the hybrid system 
immediately and contact your 
Toyota dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at 
the nearest Toyota dealer.
8 Check if “Engine Coolant 
Temp High Stop in a Safe 
Place See Owner’s Manual” 
is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display.
If the message does not disappear: 
Stop the hybrid system and contact 
your Toyota dealer.
If the message is not displayed: 
Have the vehicle i nspected at the 
nearest Toyota dealer.
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.
