Hybrid system precautions
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high voltage system
(about 650 V at maximum) as well as contains parts that become extremely
hot when the hybrid system is operating. Obey the warning labels attached to
the vehicle.
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the actual item.

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vents
There are air intake vents on the both
sides of the rear seatback for the pur-
pose of cooling the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If the vents become
blocked, the hybrid battery may over-
heat, leading to a reduction in hybrid
battery output.
