WARNING
Removing engine
coolant reservoir cap
Never attempt to
remove the engine
coolant reservoir cap
while the engine is operating or hot.
Doing so might lead to cooling system
damage and could result in serious per-
sonal injury from escaping hot coolant or
steam.
WARNING
Turn the vehicle off and wait until the
engine cools down. Use extreme care
when removing the engine coolant cap.
Wrap a thick towel around it, and turn it
slowly to the first stop. Step back while
the pressure is released from the cooling
system. When you are sure all the pres-
sure has been released, press down on
the cap, using a thick towel, and con-
tinue turning to remove it.
NOTICE
The engine coolant level is influenced by
the hybrid system temperature. Before
checking or refilling the engine coolant,
turn the hybrid vehicle off.

NOTICE
To prevent damage to engine parts, put
a thick towel around the engine coolant
