Cooling System
It is not necessary to regularly check coolant unless a leak is suspected or an unusual noise is heard. A coolant loss could indicate a problem. Have it inspected and repaired by your dealer.
The following explains the cooling systems and how to check coolant levels.
- High Voltage Battery
- Single Power Inverter Module (SPIM), Accessory Power Module (APM), and Charger Module
- Cabin Heating
High Voltage Battery
During vehicle operation and also during charging, the high voltage battery cells in the vehicle are kept within a normal operating temperature range. If the temperature rises above this temperature, the battery cooling system turns on the air conditioning compressor and cools the coolant until the correct temperature is reached.
If the temperature falls below this temperature, a high voltage heater, located outside the battery on a cradle, heats the coolant until the correct temperature is reached.
Hybrid Cooling System Pressure Caps
The hybrid cooling system reservoirs have tamper resistant pressure caps. The coolant should
only be serviced by a qualified technician.
Checking Coolant
The coolant needs to be replaced at the appropriate interval. The coolant reservoirs are in the underhood compartment.
- Cabin Heating Coolant Reservoir
- High Voltage Battery Coolant Reservoir
- SPIM, APM, and Charger Module Coolant Reservoir
1. Park on a level surface and turn the vehicle off.
2. After the system has completely cooled, check that the coolant level is at the cold fill mark on the reservoirs.
3. If the coolant level is not visible or needs to be adjusted within the reservoirs, contact your dealer.

Electrical System
High Voltage Devices and Wiring
⚠ Warning
Exposure to high voltage can cause shock, burns, and even death. The high voltage components in the vehicle can only be serviced by technicians with special training.
High voltage components are identified by labels. Do not remove, open, take apart, or modify these components. High voltage cable or wiring has orange covering or labels. Do not probe, tamper with, cut, or modify high voltage cable or wiring.
Electrical System
The vehicle has fuses and circuit breakers to protect against an electrical system overload. When the current electrical load is too heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes, protecting the circuit
until the current load returns to normal or the problem is fixed. This greatly reduces the chance of circuit overload and fire caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers protect the following in the vehicle:
- Headlamp wiring
- Windshield wiper motor
- Power windows and other power accessories
Replace a bad fuse with a new one of the identical size and rating.
