tery. When the hybrid battery air in‐
take is blocked, the hybrid battery may be overheated. Do not obstruct the air
intake with any other objects.

0+')1-
The high-voltage battery air intake is
located on the left side of the rear seats. The air intake cools down the
high-voltage battery.
When the high-voltage battery air in‐
take is blocked, the high-voltage bat‐ tery may be overheated and the vehicle
performance may become limited and
set a hybrid warning lamp. Do not ob‐ struct the air intake with any other ob‐
jects.
WARNING
nAir Intake
•Blocking the air intake behind therear seats may damage the HEVbattery.
•Do not allow any water into the airintake even when cleaning. If anywater enters the air intake, theHybrid battery may cause an elec‐tric shock which can cause seriousinjury or death due to electrocu‐tion.
If an accident occurs
• Avoid the engine compartment.
• Avoid any orange or high voltage wires, cables, or components.
• Assume that a high voltage compo‐ nent is exposed and move away fromthe vehicle as promptly as possible.
