For more details about motor/traction battery coolant, contact your Toyota
dealer.
■
If the coolant level drops within a short time after replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, motor/traction battery coolant reservoir
cap, 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 system.
CAUTION
■
When the EV system is hot
Do not remove the coolant reservoir cap.
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 mixture
of water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corro-
sion protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
●
Do not add heater coolant to the motor or traction battery coolant reser-
voirs. Doing so will negatively affect the coolant's performance and cause
the cooling system to malfunction.
■
If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent damage to parts or paint.
