■ 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.
(Enabled: -35C [-31F])
For more details about engine coolant, contact your Lexus dealer.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, engine coolant reservoir cap, radiator cap, drain cock
and water pump. If you cannot find a leak, have your Lexus dealer test the cap and check
for leaks in the cooling system.
Check the radiator, condenser and intercooler and clear any foreign objects.
If either of the above parts is extremely dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer.
■ When the engine is hot
Do not remove the radiator cap, or the coolant reservoir cap.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the cap is
removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
■ 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 cool-
ing. 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 damage to parts or paint.
