Yes, low coolant levels can cause overheating by reducing the cooling capacity. It’s essential for Prius owners in Pakistan to check the coolant level every 3–6 months o r before long trips. The recommended coolant is Toyota’s Long Life Coolant Toyota Super Long Life Coolant. Low coolant levels can also indicate a leak, which should be addressed promptly.
