■Coolant selection 
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Cool- 
ant” 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. 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a  mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion- 
ized water. (Minimum temperature: - 35°C [-31°F]) 
For more details about coolant, contact  
any authorized Toyota retailer 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 coolant reser-

authorized 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 con- 
trol unit coolant reservoir caps.  ( P.479) 
The cooling system may be under  
pressure and may spray hot coolant 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 mix- ture of water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication,  
corrosion protection and cooling. Be  sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
