Hybrid battery air vent
An air vent is located behind the rear
seats to cool the hybrid battery. If the
vent is covered, the battery will over-
heat resulting in reduced performance
of the hybrid system.
You may hear a noise from the air vent.
For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be
sure to consult your Toyota dealer.
If your vehicle is beyond repair, contact
your Toyota dealer for assistance. Do
not attempt to dispose of your vehicle
by yourself.
CAUTION
D
Do not wash the vehicle interior or
trunk. Because the hybrid battery is
located behind the rear seat, pour-
ing the water over the battery can
cause electric shock that may result
in death or serious injury.
D
Your vehicle contains a sealed Nick-
el−Metal hydride battery. If disposed
of improperly, it is hazardous to the
environment and there is a risk of
severe burns and electrical shock
that may result in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
z Clean the air vent regularly to pre-
vent the hybrid battery from over-
heating.
