COOLANT
The high-pressure cooling system has
a reservoir filled with year round anti‐
freeze coolant. The reservoir is filled at the factory.
Check the antifreeze protection and
coolant level at least once a year, at the
beginning of the winter season, and be‐ fore traveling to a colder climate.
CAUTION
•When the engine overheats fromlow engine coolant, suddenly add‐ing engine coolant may causecracks in the engine. To preventdamage, add engine coolant slowlyin small quantities.
•Do not drive with no engine cool‐ant. It may cause water pump fail‐ure and engine seizure, etc.
Checking the coolant level
WARNING
nRemoving radiator cap
•Never attempt to remove the radi‐ator cap while the engine is oper‐ating or hot. Doing so might leadto cooling system and engine dam‐age. Also, hot coolant or steamcould cause serious personal in‐jury.
•Turn the engine off and wait untilit cools down. Use extreme carewhen removing the radiator cap.Wrap a thick towel around it, andturn it counterclockwise slowly tothe first stop. Step back while thepressure is released from the cool‐ing system.When you are sure all the pressurehas been released, press down onthe cap, using a thick towel, andcontinue turning counterclockwiseto remove it.

(Continued)
•Even if the engine is not operating,do not remove the radiator cap orthe drain plug while the engine andradiator are hot. Hot coolant andsteam may still blow out underpressure, causing serious injury.
The engine coolant and/or inverter
coolant level is influenced by the hybrid system temperature. Before checking
or refilling the engine coolant and/or in‐
verter coolant, turn the hybrid vehicle off.
WARNING
The electric motor (cool‐ing fan) is controlled byengine coolant tempera‐ture, refrigerant pressureand vehicle speed. It maysometimes operate evenwhen the engine is notrunning.

WASHER FLUID
Checking the washer fluid level
0+'
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary.
Plain water may be used if washer fluid is not available. However, use washer
solvent with antifreeze characteristics
in cold climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
nCoolant
•Do not use radiator coolant or an‐tifreeze in the washer fluid reser‐voir.
•Radiator coolant can severely ob‐scure visibility when sprayed onthe windshield and may cause lossof vehicle control or damage topaint and body trim.
•Windshield washer fluid agentscontain some amounts of alcoholand can be flammable under cer‐tain circumstances. Do not allowsparks or flame to contact thewasher fluid or the washer fluidreservoir. Damage to the vehicle oroccupants could occur.
•Windshield washer fluid is poison‐ous to humans and animals. Donot drink and avoid contactingwindshield washer fluid. Seriousinjury or death could occur.

CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
Filter inspection
The climate control air filter should bereplaced according to the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is operated in
severely air-polluted cities or on dusty rough roads for a long period, it should
be inspected more frequently and re‐
placed earlier. When you replace the cli‐ mate control air filter, replace it per‐
forming the following procedure, and
be careful to avoid damaging other components.
0+'
1. Open the glove box and remove the stoppers on both sides.
0+'
2. With the glove box open, pull thesupport strap (1).
0+'
3. Remove the climate control air fil‐ter cover while pressing the lock on
the right side of the cover.
0+'
4. Replace the climate control air fil‐ ter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
NOTICE
When replacing the climate control
air filter install it properly. Other‐
wise, the system may produce noise
and the effectiveness of the filter
may be reduced.

information.
Wheel size designation
Wheels are also marked with important
information that you need if you ever have to replace one. The following ex‐
plains what the letters and numbers in
the wheel size designation mean. Example wheel size designation:
7.5JX19
7.5 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.
19 - Rim diameter in inches.
Tire speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif‐ ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger car tires. The speed
rating is part of the tire size designa‐ tion on the sidewall of the tire. This
symbol corresponds to that tire's de‐
signed maximum safe operating speed.
SpeedRatingSymbolMaximum Speed
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph) V 240 km/h (149 mph)
SpeedRatingSymbolMaximum Speed
Z Above 240 km/h (149
mph)
3. Checking tire life (TIN: Tire
Identification Number)
Any tires that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date, (in‐ cluding the spare tire) should be re‐
placed by new ones. You can find the
manufacturing date on the tire sidewall (possibly on the inside of the wheel),
displaying the DOT Code. The DOT Code
is a series of numbers on a tire consist‐ ing of numbers and English letters. The
manufacturing date is designated by
the last four digits (characters) of the DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tire size and tread
pattern and the last four numbers indi‐ cate week and year manufactured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1616 represents that
the tire was produced in the 16th week
of 2016.
WARNING
nTire age
Tires degrade over time, even whenthey are not being used.Regardless of the remaining tread,we recommend that tires be re‐placed after approximately six (6)years of normal service. Heat causedby hot climates or frequent highloading conditions can accelerate theaging process. Failure to follow thiswarning can result in sudden tirefailure, which could lead to a loss ofcontrol and an accident involving se‐rious injury or death.
4. Tire ply composition and material
The number of layers or plies of rub‐
ber-coated fabric in the tire. Tire man‐ ufacturers also must indicate the ma‐
terials in the tire, which include steel,
nylon, polyester, and others. The letter "R" means radial ply construction; the
letter "D" means diagonal or bias ply
construction; and the letter "B" means belted-bias ply construction.
