   Table 12. Text in Illustration

   *1	Filler Plug
   *2	Filler Nozzle

   Note:
   

   • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

   • Use Toyota Genuine ATF WS.

   • Be sure to fully insert the filler nozzle into the filler plug opening.

   • Be sure to add fluid slowly. If fluid is added quickly, the fluid may hit internal parts and bounce back, resulting in fluid coming out of the filler plug opening.

   • Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.

   • Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid transaxle.

   Reference
   3.4 liters (3.6 US qts, 3.0 lmp.qts)

2. After adding fluid, leave it for 30 seconds so that the fluid surface can become still again, and then check that the fluid level is between 0 to 10 mm (0 to 0.394 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid level is too low, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)

   Note:

   After adding fluid, make sure to check the fluid level.

ADD COOLANT (for Inverter)

1. 

   Slowly pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the full line.

   Coolant quantity
   2.1 liters (2.2 US qts, 1.8 Imp. qts.)

2. When using the intelligent tester:

   
   

   1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

   2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

   3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Active Test / Activate the Water Pump.

   4. Keep the coolant at the full line in the reserve tank to compensate for the drop in coolant level when the air bleeds.

      Standard
      Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the inverter water pump assembly becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the reserve tank improves.

      Tip:

      Loud noise made by the inverter water pump assembly and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.

3. When not using the intelligent tester:

   
   

   1. Turn the power switch on (READY). [*1]

   2. Turn the power switch off and add coolant to the full line because the coolant level drops as the air bleeds. [*2]

      Note:
      

      • Be sure to turn the power switch off before adding SLLC.

      • Do not work on the components in the engine compartment while the vehicle is in the READY-on state because the engine is in intermittent operation.

   3. Repeat steps [*1] and [*2] until air bleeding from the cooling system is completed.

      Standard
      Air bleeding from the inverter cooling system is completed when the noise made by the inverter water pump assembly becomes smaller and the circulation of coolant in the reserve tank improves.

      Tip:

      Loud noise made by the inverter water pump assembly and poor circulation of coolant in the reserve tank indicates that there is air in the cooling system.

4. After the air is completely bled from the cooling system, tighten the reserve tank cap.

5. 

   Add coolant to the full line of the reserve tank.

ADD COOLANT (for Engine)

1. Tighten the radiator drain cock plug.

2. 

   Add coolant to B line of the reserve tank.

   Table 13. Text in Illustration

   *1

   B Line

   Standard Capacity
   Item Capacity Engine coolant w/ Exhaust Heat Recirculation System: 6.9 liters (7.3 US qts, 6.1 lmp. qts) w/o Exhaust Heat Recirculation System: 6.5 liters (6.9 US qts, 5.7 lmp. qts)

   Tip:

   TOYOTA vehicles are filled with TOYOTA SLLC at the factory. In order to avoid damage to the engine cooling system and other technical problems, only use TOYOTA SLLC or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology (coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology is a combination of low phosphates and organic acids).

   Note:

   Never use water as a substitute for engine coolant.

3. Squeeze the radiator hoses several times by hand, and then check the level of the coolant.

   If the coolant level is low, add coolant.

4. Put the engine in inspection mode (Click here).

5. Install the reserve tank cap.

6. Bleed air from the cooling system.

   Note:
   

   • Before starting the engine, turn the A/C switch off.

   • Adjust the heater control to the maximum hot setting.

   • Adjust the blower speed to the low setting.

   
   

   1. Warm up the engine until the thermostat opens. While the thermostat is open, allow the coolant to circulate for several minutes. (●1)

      Tip:

      The thermostat opening timing can be confirmed by squeezing the inlet radiator hose by hand, and sensing vibrations when the engine coolant starts to flow inside the hose.

      CAUTION:
      When squeezing the radiator hose:
      

      • Wear protective gloves.

      • Be careful as the radiator hoses are hot.

      • Keep your hands away from the radiator fans.

   2. Stop the engine and wait until the coolant cools down. Then if the coolant level is below the low line, add coolant so that the level will be between the full and low lines. (●2)

   3. Repeat the steps from (●1) to (●2) until the coolant level of the reserve tank remains above the low line.

7. 

   After the engine has cooled down, check that the coolant level is between the full and low lines.

   Table 14. Text in Illustration

   *1	Full Line
   *2	Low Line

   If the coolant level is low, add coolant to the full line on the reserve tank.

INSPECT HYBRID TRANSAXLE FLUID

1. 

   Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, remove the filler plug and gasket.

2. Check that the fluid level is between 0 to 10 mm (0 to 0.394 in.) from the bottom lip of the filler plug opening. (If the fluid level is too low, return to the Add Hybrid Transaxle Fluid procedure.)

   Note:
   

   • Stop the vehicle on a level surface.

   • Be sure to directly check that the transaxle fluid level is within the specified range.

   • Insufficient or excessive amounts of transaxle fluid may damage the hybrid transaxle.

   • If the fluid was replaced or fluid was added, make sure to recheck the fluid level after driving the vehicle.

3. Check for leaks if the quantity of transaxle fluid is low.

4. Using a 10 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the filler plug with a new gasket.

2. 

   Install a radiator cap tester.

3. Pump the radiator cap tester to 122 kPa (1.2 kgf/ cm², 18 psi), and then check that the pressure does not drop.

   Tip:

   If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator, inverter water pump assembly, inverter with converter, and hybrid vehicle transaxle assembly for leaks.

4. Reinstall the reserve tank cap.

INSPECT FOR COOLANT LEAK (for Engine)

1. Remove the reserve tank cap.

2. 

   Fill the reserve tank with coolant, and then attach a radiator cap tester.

4. Warm up the engine.

5. Using a radiator cap tester, increase the pressure inside the radiator to 108 kPa (1.1 kgf/cm², 16 psi), and check that the pressure does not drop. If the pressure drops, check the hoses, radiator, front exhaust pipe assembly, the heater hose around the engine coolant temperature sensor and engine water pump assembly for leaks. If no external leaks are found, check the heater core, cylinder block and cylinder head.

6. Remove the radiator cap tester.
