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 conditioning 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 autho-
rized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
If the fan is operating:

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
