Maintenance and care
■Scheduled maintenance of the air intake vent is necessary when
In some situations such as when the vehicle is used frequently or in heavy
traffic or dusty areas, the air intake vent may need to be cleaned more regu\
-
larly. For details, refer to “Schedule maintenance guide” or “Owner’s Manual
Supplement”.
■ Cleaning the air intake vent
●Dust in the air intake vent may interfere with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If the hybrid battery (traction battery) overheats, the dis-
tance that the vehicle can be driven using the electric motor (traction motor)
may be reduced and the fuel consumption may increase.
Inspect and clean the air intake vent periodically.
● Improper handling of the air intake vent cover and filter may result in dam-
age to them. If you have any concerns about cleaning the filter, contact your
Toyota dealer.

minutes, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
