8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
■
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
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 subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
●
After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the
power switch and the "READY" indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati-
cally 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 reservoir caps while the hybrid system and radi-
ator 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 precautions:
●
Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust,
etc.).
●
Do not use any coolant additive.
