    No different than other Toyota's below is the recommendation from repair manual. We mix coolant with distilled water with a 50/50 mix.

    Coolant type:
    In order to avoid technical problems, only use "Toyota Super Long Life Coolant" or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology.

    Do not use plain water alone.

    Thank you! And one more question for drive a hybrid and for the motor cooling fluid are the same?

    I do not understand your question. Is it the fuel for the gas tank that you are asking about? The coolant that goes into the radiator and cooling system are for the engine. There is only one coolant fluid and one cooling system for the car.

    Probably should go to the nearest Toyota dealer to avoid problems. May cost more than aftermarket initially , but less costly than a mistake costing a lot more down the road?
