Explanation of Maintenance Items Motor/Inverter Coolant Check that the motor and inverter (electric vehicle motor assembly) coolant level is between the ЉFULLЉ and ЉLOWЉ lines on the see-through reservoir tank. Notice: A qualified technician should perform this operation. • Only use ЉZerex G 48Љ or ЉGlysantin G 48Љ. The dilution ratio for both ЉZerex G 48Љ and ЉGlysantin G 48Љ is 50% coolant and 50% deionized water. Therefore, dilution is needed when coolant in the vehicle is added. • Do not use TOYOTA Super Long Life Coolant (SLLC) or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology. • To prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the cooling system, make sure to confirm that the container used to add coolant is clean and free of foreign matter such as dust or dirt. Radiator, Condenser, Hoses and/or Intercooler Inspect for damage, debris, corrosion, kinks, cracks, rot, clogging and leaks. Have any problem repaired immediately by a qualified technician. Steering Gear Box Inspect for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it repaired immediately by a qualified technician. Steering Linkage and Boots With the vehicle stopped, check for excessive freeplay in the steering wheel. Inspect the linkage for bending and damage and the dust boots for deterioration, cracks and damage. Replace any damaged parts. A qualified technician should perform these operations. Tire Rotation Tires should be rotated according to the instructions in the Owner's Manual. When rotating tires, check for damage and uneven wear. Replace if necessary.
