WARNING
■
While driving
The driver should pay extra attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is
powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). As there is no engine
noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle's movement. Even though
the vehicle is equipped with the vehicle proximity notification system, drive
with care as pedestrians in the vicinity may still not notice the vehicle if the
surrounding area is noisy.

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vents
There are air intake vents on both sides
of the rear seatback for the purpose of
cooling the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery). If the vents are blocked, charging/
discharging of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) may become limited.
●
Make sure not to block the air intake vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the vents are blocked, the charging/dis-
charging of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may become limited.
●
When dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vent, clean it with a vac-
uum cleaner to prevent the vent from clogging.
●
Do not wet or allow foreign substances to enter the air vents 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 your Toyota dealer.
●
A filter is 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. When cleaning the filter, refer to "OWNER'S MANUAL".
