2. Hood Latch.
3. Brake Fluid Reservoir. See Brake Fluid 0316.
Cooling System
It is not necessary to regularly
check coolant unless a leak is
suspected or an unusual noise
is heard. A coolant loss could
indicate a problem. Have it
inspected and repaired by
your dealer.
During vehicle operation and
also during charging, the high
voltage battery cells in the
vehicle are kept within a
normal operating temperature
range. If the temperature rises
above this temperature, the
battery cooling system turns
on the air conditioning
compressor and cools the
coolant until the correct
temperature is reached. If the
temperature falls below this
temperature, a high voltage heater, located outside the
battery on a cradle, heats the
coolant until the correct
temperature is reached.
The cooling system allows the
vehicle to maintain the correct
working temperature.Checking Coolant
The coolant needs to be
replaced at the appropriate
interval. See Maintenance
Schedule
0376.
The coolant reservoir is in the
underhood compartment. See
Underhood Compartment
Overview 0312.
To access the coolant
reservoir under the hood, the
right side access cover needs
to be removed. 1. Park on a level surface and turn the vehicle off.
2. Open the hood. See Hood 0310.
3. The coolant reservoir is
under a cover and side
extension/shield in the
underhood compartment.
Unclip the right side of the
shield and remove the right
side access cover.

the 12-volt battery daily. It is
okay to leave the vehicle
plugged in for extended
periods of time. Once charged
to full, very little energy is
required to maintain the
12-volt battery and high
voltage battery.
If it is not possible to charge
the vehicle with the charge
cord left plugged in, be sure to
fully charge the high voltage
battery before storing. The
vehicle will stop maintenance
of the 12-volt battery if the
high voltage battery state of
charge gets too low.When storing the vehicle on a
long-term basis:
‐
Keep the high voltage
battery state of charge
at 30%.
‐ Attach an AGM/VRLA
compatible battery tender or
trickle charger to the 12-volt
battery.
‐ Keep the remote key more
than 3 m (10 ft) away from
the vehicle.
