NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents
●Do not put foreign objects near the air vents. The hybrid battery (traction
battery) may overheat, leading to a reduction in hybrid battery (traction
battery) output or a malfunction.
●Clean the air vents regularly to prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery)
from overheating.
●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.
●If the rear seat belt becomes separated from the guide, it could obstruct
the hybrid battery (traction battery) air vent. Set the rear seat belt into the
guide to use.
There are air intake vents on the side of
the rear right seatback and on the front
corner of the left rear seat cushion for the
purpose of cooling the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If the vents become
blocked, the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) may overheat, leading to a reduction
in hybrid battery (traction battery) output.
