ItemsParts and toolsWARNING
The motor 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 motor
compartment
●Make sure that “POWER ON”
on the multi-information display
and the “READY” indicator are
both off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving fan.
●Be careful not to touch the
motor, power control unit, radia-
tor, etc., right after driving as
they may be hot. Coolant and
other fluids may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the motor compartment.
●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to the 12-
volt battery. 12-volt battery
fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when
working on the 12-volt battery. It
contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulfuric acid.
●Never touch, disassemble,
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables and their con-
nectors. It can cause severe
burns or electric shock that may
result in death or serious injury.

If the level is on or below the “MIN”

■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” or a similar high quality
ethylene glycol based non-silicate,
non-amine, non-nitrite, and nonbo-
rate coolant with long-life hybrid
organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is
a mixture of 50% coolant and 50%
deionized water. (Minimum tem-
perature: -31°F [-35°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,
power control unit coolant reservoir
caps, 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 and con-
denser and clear away any for-
eign objects.
If either of the above parts is
extremely dirty or you are not
sure of their condition, have
your vehicle inspected Toyota
dealer.
WARNING
■When the heater system is
hot
Do not remove the heater coolant
reservoir caps.
The heater 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 and
condenser
WARNING
■When the EV system is hot
Do not touch the radiator or con-
denser as they may be hot and
cause serious injuries, such as
burns.

■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 vehicle, Toyota recommends
using “Toyota Genuine Traction Bat-
tery Coolant” or similar high-quality
ethylene glycol-based, low electric
conductivity coolant, non-amine and
non-borate coolant with azole addi-
tives.
Toyota cannot guarantee that the
use of a product o
ther than “Toyota
Genuine Traction Battery Coolant”
will prevent risks of battery short-cir-
cuit or other damage.
Never use water as it will cause
damage.
Do not reuse cool ant that has been
removed from the radiator.
For more details about coolant, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
■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 your
Toyota dealer, t est the cap and
check for leaks in the cooling sys-
tem.
WARNING
■When the electric cooling fan
are operating
Do not touch the motor compart-
ment.
With the power switch in ON, the
electric cooling fan may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant
temperature is high. Be sure the
power switch is OFF when work-
ing near the electric cooling fan or
radiator grille.
Checking the power con-
trol unit coolant
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 cool-
ant if the cap is removed, causing
serious injuries, such as burns.
