Do not allow anyone to lean against the
side of the rear right seatback, nor put
any luggage or other obstructions on it.
"
An air vent is provided on the side of
the rear right seatback to cool the hy-
brid battery. If this vent is covered, the
hybrid battery will overheat resulting in
a reduction of the output performance
of the hybrid system.
"
The seat belt not properly set in the
guide on the top of the rear seat may
block the air vent. Be sure to pass the
seat belt through the guide properly.
