■Regenerative braking
● In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the rech arging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
• The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D, B
(2ZR-FXE engine) or S (M20A-FXS engine).
• The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift leve r in D, B
(2ZR-FXE engine) or S (M20A-FXS engine).
● While the GPF system (P. 531) is operating to regenerate the exhaust gas
filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may not be rechar ged.
■ EV indicator
■ Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions*:
● During gasoline engine warm-up
● During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
● When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
● When the heater is switched on
*: Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop
automatically in situations other than those above.
■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction bat tery), the bat-
tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. Howeve r, if t h e
vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (trac tion battery) will
slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once
every few months for at least 30 minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start
the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or To yota authorized
repairer, or any r eliable repairer.
The EV indicator comes on when the
vehicle is driven using only the electric
motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.

NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Make sure not to block the air intake vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage. The hybrid battery (traction battery) may
overheat and be damaged.
● When dust, etc., has accumulated in the air intake vent, clean it with a vac-
uum cleaner to prevent the vent from clogging.
● 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 bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction batt ery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized To yota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.
● There is a filter installed to the air intake vent. When the filter 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, refer to P. 640.
● If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts. See owner’s
manual.” is shown on the multi-information display, the air int ake vent and
filter may be clogged. Refer to P. 640 for information on how t o clean the
air intake vent.

Hybrid batter y (traction batter y) air intake
vent and filter
Remove the dust from the air
intake vent with a vacuum
cleaner, etc.
Make sure to only use a vacuum to
suck out dust and clogs. Attempt-
ing to blow out dust and clogs

If dust and clogs cannot be completely removed with the air intake
vent cover installed, remove the cover and clean the filter.
Turn the power switch off.
Using a Phillips screwdriver,
remove the clip.
To prevent the fuel economy from being affected, visually
inspect the hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent p eri-
odically for dust and clogs. If it is dusty or clogged or if “M ainte-
nance required for Traction battery cooling parts. See owner’s

Maintenance and care
■Cleaning the air intake vent
● Dust in the air intake vent may interfere with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If charging/discharging of the hybrid batte ry (traction bat-
tery) becomes limited, the distance that the vehicle can be dri ven using the
electric motor (traction motor) may be reduced and the fuel eco nomy may
be reduced. 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 any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable
repairer.
■ If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual.” is shown on the multi-information display
● If this message is shown on the multi-information display, remove the air
intake vent cover and clean the filter. ( P. 640)
● After cleaning the air intake vent, start the hybrid system and check that the
warning message is no longer displayed.
After the hybrid system is started, it may be necessary to driv e the vehicle
up to approximately 20 minutes before the warning message disap pears. If
the warning message does not disappear after driving for approp riately 20
minutes, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota re tailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ When cleaning the air intake vent
● Before cleaning the air intake vent, make sure to turn the power switch off
to stop the hybrid system.
● Do not use water or other liquids to clean the air intake vent. If water is
applied to the hybrid battery (traction battery) or other compo nents, a mal-
function or fire may occur.
■ When removing the air intake vent cover
Do not touch the service plug located near the air intake vent. (P. 126)

NOTICE
■When cleaning the air intake vent
■ To prevent damage to the vehicle
● Do not allow water or foreign matter to enter the air intake vent when the
cover is removed.
● Carefully handle the removed filter so that it will not be damaged. If the fil-
ter is damaged, have it replaced with a new filter by any autho rized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.
● Make sure to reinstall the filter and cover to their original positions after
cleaning.
● Do not install anything to the air intake vent other than the exclusive filter
for this vehicle or use the vehicle without the filter installe d.
■ If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual.” is shown on the multi-information display
If the vehicle is continuously driven with the warning message (indicating
that charging/discharging of the hybrid battery [traction batte ry] may
become limited) displayed, the hybrid battery (traction battery ) may mal-
function. If the warning message is displayed, clean the air in take vent
immediately.
When cleaning the air intake vent, 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 vent, which may affect
the performance of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and cause a malfunc-
tion.
