Toyota CH-R: Checking the coolant

■ Engine coolant reservoir

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines on the reservoir when the engine is cold.

1. Reservoir cap
2. "MAX" line
3. "MIN" line

If the level is on or below the "MIN" line, add coolant up to the "MAX" line.

■ Power control unit coolant reservoir

2ZR-FXE engine

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines on the reservoir when the hybrid system is cold.

1. Reservoir cap
2. "MAX" line
3. "MIN" line

If the level is on or below the "MIN" line, add coolant up to the "MAX" line.

M20A-FXS engine

The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the "F" and "L" lines on the reservoir when the hybrid system is cold.

1. Reservoir cap
2. "F" line
3. "L" line

If the level is on or below the "L" line, add coolant up to the "F" line.

■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% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: - 35ºC [-31ºF] ) 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 authorized 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.

Checking the radiator and condenser

Check the radiator and condenser and clear away any foreign objects.

If either of the above parts is extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condition, have your vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING

■When the hybrid system is hot

Do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and cause serious injuries, such as burns.
