NOTICE
■
When cleaning the air intake vent
When cleaning the air intake vent,
make sure to only use a vacuum to
suck out dust and clogs. If a com-
pressed air blow gun, etc. is used to
blow out dust and clogs, the dust or
clogs may be pushed into the air
intake vent, which may affect the per-
formance of the DC/DC converter and
cause a malfunction.
■
To prevent damage to the vehicle
●
Do not allow water or foreign matter
to enter the air intake vent when the
cover is removed.

Carefully handle the removed filter
so that it will not be damaged. If the
filter is damaged, have it replaced
with a new filter by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●
Make sure to reinstall the filter and
cover to their original positions after
cleaning.
