When trouble arises
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
If water was added in an emer-
gency, have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
6Start the hybrid system and
turn the air conditioning sys-
tem on to check that the radi-
ator cooling fans operate and
to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate w hen the air con-
ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm
that the fans are operating by
checking the fan sound and air flow.
If it is difficult to check these, turn
the air conditioning system on and
off repeatedly. (The fans may not
operate in freezing temperatures.)
7 If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at
the nearest Toyota dealer.
If “Hybrid system overheated
Output power reduced” is
shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe
place. 2
Stop the hybrid system and
carefully lift the hood.
3 After the hybrid system has
cooled down, inspect the
hoses and radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.
Radiator
Cooling fans
If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.
4The coolant level is satisfac-
tory if it is between the “F”
and “L” lines on the reservoir.
Reservoir
“F” line
“L” line
5 Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
If water was added in an emer-
4407-2. Steps to take in an emergency
gency, have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
6After stopping the hybrid sys-
tem and waiting for 5 minutes
or more, start the hybrid sys-
tem again and check for the
multi-information display.
If the message does not dis-
appear: Stop the hybrid sys-
tem and contact your Toyota
dealer.
If the message is not dis-
played: The hybrid system
temperature has dropped
and the vehicle may be
driven normally.
However, if the message appears
again frequently, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions. 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 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
fans 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 engine/power
control unit 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.
