If a large amount of coolant leaks, immedi-
ately contact your Lexus dealer.
4The coolant level is satisfactory if it 
is between the “F” and “L” lines on 
the reservoir.
Reservoir
“F” line
“L” line
Coolant inlet cap
5 Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emergency if  engine coolant is unavailable.
6
Start the hybrid system and turn the 
air conditioning system on to check 
that the radiator cooling fan oper-
ates and to check for coolant leaks 
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air conditioning 
system is turned on  immediately after a 
cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating 
by checking the fan sound and air flow. If it 
is difficult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on  and off repeatedly. 
(The fan may not oper ate in freezing tem-
peratures.)
7 If the fan is not operating: 
Stop the hybrid system immediately 
and contact your Lexus dealer.
If the fan is operating: 
Have the vehicle inspected at the 
nearest Lexus dealer.
If “Hybrid system overheated Out-
put power reduced” is shown on the 
multi-information display
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2 Stop the hybrid system and care-
fully lift the hood.

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.

3917-2. Steps to take in an emergency
7
When trouble arises
1Stop the hybrid system. Set the 
parking brake and shift the shift 
lever to P.
2 Remove the mud, snow or sand 
from around the front wheels.
3 Place wood, stones or some other 
material under the front wheels to 
help provide traction.
4 Restart the hybrid system.
5 Shift the shift lever to D or R and 
release the parking brake. Then, 
while exercising caution, depress 
the accelerator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the vehicle
Press the   switch  to turn off TRAC.
WARNING
●After the hybrid system has been 
turned off, check that the “READY” 
indicator are 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.
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the vehicle 
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

■Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in 
your Lexus vehicle. Use Lexus 
approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” 
or equivalent to satisfy the following 
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: API SN/RC multigrade 
engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16 SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for good 
fuel economy and good
 starting in cold 
weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE 
0W-20 oil may be used. However, it 
must be replaced with SAE 0W-16 at 
the next oil change.
Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here 
as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the  characteristic of the oil which allows
