ularly.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
●Dust in the air intake vents may interfere
with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If charging/discharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
becomes limited, the distance that the
vehicle can be driven using the electric
motor (traction moto
r) may be reduced
and the fuel economy may be reduced.
Inspect and clean the air intake vents

●Improper handling may result in damage
to the air intake vent covers or filters. If
you have any concerns about cleaning
the filters, contact your Lexus dealer.
●The necessary cleaning interval of the air
