GPF (Gasoline Par ticulate Filter) system
■If “Exhaust filter full. See owner’s manual.” is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display
● The message may be displayed while high load driving with particulate mat-
ter accumulating.
● Hybrid system output (engine speed) is restricted when a certain amount of
particulate matter accumulates, however, it is possible to driv e the vehicle
unless the malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
● Particulate matter can accumulate more quickly if the vehicle is frequently
driven short trips or at low s peeds, or if the hybrid system is regularly started
in an extremely cold environment. Excessive accumulation of par ticulate
matter can be prevented by periodically driving long distances continuously
with intermittent releasing of the accelerator pedal, such as w hen driving on
highways and freeways.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on or “Engine Maintenance
Required. Visit Your Dealer.” is shown on the multi-information display
The amount of accumulated particulate matter has exceeded a cer tain level.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reli able repairer immediately.
The GPF system collects particulate matter in the exhaust gas
by using an exhaust gas filter.
The system will operate to regenerate the filter automatically,
depending on the vehicle conditions.
NOTICE
■ To prevent the GPF system from not operating properly
● Do not use fuel other than the specified type
● Do not modify the exhaust pipes

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
using an airgun, etc., may push it
into the air intake vent. ( P. 644)
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
manual.” is displayed on the multi-information display, clean t he

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)
