Overheating of the hybrid engine can damage both the engine and the hybrid battery.
The cooling system including the radiator and inverter coolant plays a crucial role in preventing this.
Signs of overheating may include warning lights, poor acceleration, o r high engine temperatures.
Solution: Regularly check the cooling system, flush the coolant every 100,000 miles, and ensure there are no blockages in the radiator.
