■Scheduled maintenance of the
air intake vents is necessary
when
In some situations such as when the
vehicle is used frequently or in
heavy traffic or dusty areas, the air
intake vents may need to be
cleaned more regularly. For details,
refer to “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment”.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
●Dust in the air in take 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 vehi-
cle can be driven using the electric motor (traction motor) may be
reduced and the fuel economy
may be reduced. Inspect and
clean the air intake vents periodi-
cally.
●Improper handling of the air intake
vent covers and filters may result
in damage to them. If you have
any concerns about cleaning the
filters, contact your Toyota dealer.
■If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling Parts
See Owner’s Manual” is shown
on the multi-information display
●If this warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
remove the air intake vent covers
and clean the filters. (
P.444)
●After cleaning the air intake vents,
start the hybrid system and check
that the warning message is no
longer shown.
It may take approximately 20 min-
utes after the hybrid system is
started until the warning message
disappears. If the warning mes-
sage does not disappear, have
the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When cleaning the air intake
vents
●Do not use water or other liq-
uids to clean the air intake
vents. If water is applied to the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
or other components, a mal-
function or fire may occur.
●Before cleaning the air intake
vents, make sure to turn the
power switch off to stop the
hybrid system.
■When removing the air intake
vent covers
Do not touch the service plug
located underneath the console
box. ( P.84)
4466-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
NOTICE
■When cleaning the air intake
vents
When cleaning the air intake
vents, make sure to only use a
vacuum to suck out dust and
clogs. If a compressed air blow
gun, etc. is used to blow out dust
and clogs, the dust or clogs may
be pushed into the air intake
vents, which may affect the per-
formance of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and cause a
malfunction.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle
●Do not allow water or foreign
matter to enter t he air intake
vents when the covers are
removed.
●Carefully handle the removed
filter so that it will not be dam-
aged. If the filter is damaged,
have it replaced with a new filter
by your Toyota dealer.
●Make sure to reinstall the filters
and covers to their original posi-
tions after cleaning.
●Do not install anything to the air
intake vents other than the
exclusive filters for this vehicle
or use the vehicle without the fil-
ters installed.
■If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling
Parts See Owner’s Manual” is
shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
If the vehicle is continuously
driven with the warning message
(indicating that charging/discharg-
ing of the hybrid battery [traction
battery] may become limited) dis-
played, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) may malfunction. If the
warning message is displayed,
clean the air intake vents immedi-
ately.

When trouble arises
tion display, it may indicate a mal-
function. Immediately stop the
vehicle and contact your Toyota
dealer.
•“Braking Power Low”
• “12-Volt Battery Charging System
Malfunction”
• “Oil Pressure Low”
●If any of the following messages
are shown on the multi-informa-
tion display, the vehicle may have
run out of fuel. Stop the vehicle in
a safe place and, if the fuel level is
low, refuel the vehicle.
• “Hybrid System Stopped”
• “Engine Stopped”
●If “Low Auxiliary Battery See
Owner’s Manual” is shown
• When the display goes off after
several seconds
*:
Maintain the hybri d system opera-
tion for more than 15 minutes and
charge the 12- volt battery.
• When the display does not go off:
Start up the hybrid system using the
procedures for “If the 12-volt battery
is discharged” ( P.506)
*: Displays for about 6 seconds
●If “Maintenance Required for Trac-
tion Battery Cooling Parts See
Owner’s Manual” is shown, the fil-
ter may be clogged, the air intake
vent may be blocked, or there may
be a gap in the duct. Therefore,
perform the following correction
procedure.
• If the air intake vent or filter of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
are dirty, perform the procedures
on P.443to clean them.
• If the warning message is shown when the air intake vent and filter
of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) are not dirty, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■If “Engine Oil Level Low Add or
Replace” is displayed
The engine oil level may be low.
Check the level of the engine oil, and add engine oil if necessary.
This message may be displayed if
the vehicle is stopped on a slope.
Move the vehicle to a level surface
and check if the message disap-
pears.
■If “Hybrid System Stopped
Steering Power Low” is dis-
played
This message is displayed if the
hybrid system is stopped while driv-
ing.
When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using
more force than usual.
■If “Hybrid System Overheated
Output Power Reduced” is
shown
The message may be shown when
driving under severe operating con-
ditions. (For example, when driving
up a long steep hill or driving up a
steep hill in reverse.)
Coping method: P.514
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be
Protected Refrain from the Use
of N Position” is shown
This message may be displayed
when the shift lever is in N.
As the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) can not be charged when the
shift lever is in N, shift the shift lever
to P when the vehicle is stopped.
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be
Protected Shift into P to
Restart” is shown
This message is displayed when the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge has becom e extremely low
because the shift lever has been left
in N for a certain amount of time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to
P and restart the hybrid system.
■If “Shift to P Before Exiting
Vehicle” is shown
Message is displayed when the
driver’s door is opened without turn-
