Maintenance and care
PRIUS c_U■
If “MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FO R TRACTION BATTERY COOLING
PARTS SEE OWNER’S MANUAL” is displayed on the multi-information
display
● It is possible the air intake vent or filter is clogged due to accumulated dust.
Clean the air intake vent and filter, referring to the cleaning method.
● When continuously driven in this state, the hybrid battery (traction battery)
may overheat, which may lead to the driving distance by the ele ctric motor
getting shorter, the fuel consumption worsening, and causing da mage.
Clean the air intake vent periodically to prevent dust, etc., f rom collecting in
the air intake vent or filter.
● If the massage in the multi-information display does not turn off, even if the
air intake vent is cleaned, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
● Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle, such as on the floor, in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents, and in the luggage compartment.
Doing so may cause the hybrid battery, electrical components, etc. to mal-
function or catch fire.
● Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle i nterior wet.
( P. 41)
An electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or no t function
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Cleaning the interior (esp ecially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel m ay reflect
off the windshield, obstructing the driver's view and leading t o an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When cleaning the hybrid batte ry (traction battery) air intake vent/filter
● Do not use water or other liquids to clean the air intake vent/ filter. If water
is applied to the hybrid battery (traction battery) or other co mponents, a
malfunction or fire may occur.
● When the air intake vent cover, located below the rear seat cus hion on the
left side is to be removed, make sure to turn the power switch off to stop
