NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Do not place objects that will block the air intake vent. When the air intake
vent is blocked, the battery operations will be restricted and cause a
decline in fuel consumption.
● Clean the air intake vent regularly to prevent the hybrid batte ry (traction
battery) from overheating.
● Do not get water or foreign materials in the air intake vent as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction b attery).
● Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottle s in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction batt ery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota deale r.
● There is a filter installed to the air intake vent. When the fi lter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filte r cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For information regarding filter cl eaning or
replacement, contact your Toyota dealer.
● If “MAINTENANCE REQUIRED FOR TRACTION BATTERY COOLING
PARTS SEE OWNER’S MANUAL” is shown on the multi-information dis -
play, the air intake vent and filter may be clogged. Refer to P . 404 for infor-
mation on how to clean the air intake vent.

(Cruising range)
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining. • This distance is computed base d on your average fuel consump-
tion. As a result, the actual di stance that can be driven may differ
from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the dis -
play may not be updated.
When refueling, turn the power swi tch off. If the vehicle is refu-
eled without turning the power switch off, the display may not be
updated.

■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using cruise
control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and envi-
ronmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel c onsumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, driving conditions and environm ental fac-
tors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.
■ When disconnecting and reconnecting 12-volt battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
●Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● 5 min./1 min. fuel consumption display
