For Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehi-
cles, fuel may remain in the tank for
a long time and undergo changes in
quality depending on the how the
vehicle is used. Refuel at least 20 L
(5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every
12 months (refuel a total of at least
20 L [5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a
12-month period), as this may
affect components of the fuel sys-
tem or the gasoline engine.
If the vehicle has not been refueled
for a certain amount of time and it is
possible that the quality of the fuel
remaining in the tank has changed,
"No New Fuel has been Added
Recently Please refuel" is displayed
on the multi-information display
when the power switch is turned to
ON. If the message is displayed,
refuel the vehicle immediately.

Make sure not to block the air

When dust etc. has accumulated in
the air intake vent, clean it with a
vacuum cleaner to prevent the vent
from clogging.
Do not wet or allow foreign sub-
stances to enter the air vent as this
may cause a short circuit and dam-
age the DC/DC converter.
Do not carry large amounts of water
such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the
DC/DC converter, the converter
may be damaged. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
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
P.504.
If "Maintenance required for DCDC
converter cooling parts See
Owner's Manual" is shown on the
multi-information display, the air
intake vent and filter may be
clogged. Refer to P.504 for informa-
