■Hybrid battery air vent
There is an air intake vent under
the second seats to cooling the
hybrid battery (traction battery). If
the vent becomes blocked, the
hybrid battery may overheat,
leading to a reduction in hybrid
battery output.
Emergency shut off system
The emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current
and stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel
leakage when a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sen-
sor. If the emergency shut off syste m activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.
Energy monitor/consumption screen
You can view the status of your
hybrid system on the multi-infor-
mation display (P. 35) and the
navigation system screen ( P.
35, 37). The following images
are examples only, and may vary
slightly from actual conditions.
