Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Do not place objects that will block the
air intake vent. When the air intake vent
is blocked, the battery operations will be
restricted and cause a decline in fuel
consumption.
●
Clean the air intake vent regularly to
prevent the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) from overheating.
●
Do not get water or foreign materials in the air intake vent as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
●
Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● There is a filter installed to the air intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filter cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For information regarding filter cleaning or
replacement, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
