5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
STEP
5
Have the vehicle checked at nearest Toyota dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
CAUTION
■
To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
●
If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The motor compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injury such as burns.
●
Check that the indicator on the "POWER" switch and the "READY" indica-
tor are off.
●
When the "READY" indicator is illuminated, the cooling fans may suddenly
start to operate. Do not touch or approach the fans. Doing so may lead to
fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in an accidental injury.
●
Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the EV system and radiator
are hot.
Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
NOTICE
■
When adding motor/traction battery coolant
Wait until the EV system has cooled down before adding motor/traction bat-
tery coolant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot EV system
too quickly can cause damage to the EV system.
476
If necessary, add motor/traction
battery coolant up to the "F" or
"FULL" line.
Add after confirming the type of
coolant. (P. 357)
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if motor/traction battery
coolant is unavailable.
