may be a leak in the system. Visually check the radiator,
hoses, engine coolant filler cap, radiator cap and drain cock
and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your Lexus dealer test the radiator
cap pressure and check for leaks in the cooling system.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do not remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.

Use of improper coolants may damage your engine cooling
system.

non- nitrite, and non- borate coolant with long- life hybrid
organic acid t echnology. (Coolant with long-life hybrid organic
acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and
organic acids.)
Toyota Super Long Life Coolantº is a mixture of 50% coolant
and 50% deionized water. This coolant provides protection

as possible.
