7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
■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 com-
partment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “READY” indicator is off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automatically start, or the cooling fan may suddenly
operate even if the gasoline engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotat-ing 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 inlet cap or
coolant reservoir caps while the hybrid system and radiator are hot.High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the hybrid sys- tem 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 sys-
tem
Observe the following precautions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
