■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non- nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -35°C [-31°F])
For more details about coolant, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine/power control unit coolant reservoir
caps, drain cock and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer, test the cap and check for leaks in the
cooling system.
WARNING
■ When the hybrid system is hot
Do not remove the engine/power control unit coolant reservoir caps.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■ When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The correct mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication, corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■ If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging parts or paint.

If your vehicle overheats
●Vehicles with monochrome display: The high engine coolant tem-
perature warning light ( P. 518) comes on or flashes, or a loss of
hybrid system power is experienced. (For example, the vehicle
speed does not increase.)
Vehicles with color display:
• The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge ( P. 1 1 7 )
enters the red zone or a loss of hybrid system power is experi-
enced.
(For example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)
• The warning message indicating overheat is shown on the multi-
information display. ( P. 531)
● Vehicles with monochrome display: If the hybrid system overheat
warning light ( P. 522) comes on.
Vehicles with color display: If the warning message indicating over-
heat is shown on the multi-information display. ( P. 535)
● Steam comes out from under the hood.
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating:

■If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on
or flashes
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning
system, and then stop the hybrid system.
If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
After the hybrid system has
cooled down sufficiently,
inspect the hoses and radia-
tor core (radiator) for any
leaks.

If a large amount of coolant
leaks, immediately contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.

Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for
coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air condi tioning system is turned on immedi-
ately 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 condi-
tioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

When trouble arises
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
Start the hybrid system and check for the hybrid system overheat
warning light (with monochrome display) or warning message
(with color display).
If the warning light (with monochrome display) or warning mes-
sage (with color display) does not go off:
Stop the hybrid system and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the warning light (with monochrome display) or warning mes-
sage (with color display) goes off:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injuries such as burns.
● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the
power switch and the “READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati-
cally start, or the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if the gasoline
engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating 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 reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
Serious injuries, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.

NOTICE
■When adding engine/power control unit coolant
Wait until the hybrid system has cooled down before adding engine/power
control unit coolant.
When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid sys-
tem too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system.
■ To prevent damage to the cooling system
Observe the following precautions.
● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust
etc.).
● Do not use any coolant additives.
