NOTICE
■To prevent failure or damage to data
●Do not place magnetic cards, such as a credit card, or magnetic recording
media, close to the wireless charger while charging. Otherwise, data may
be erased due to the influence of magnetism.
Additionally, do not bring precision instruments such as wrist watches,
close to the wireless charger, as such objects may malfunction.
●Do not perform charging with a contactless smart card, such as a credit
card, between the charging surface of a portable device and the charging
area. The IC chip in the card may become extremely hot, possibly damag-
ing the portable device or smart card.
Be extra careful to not charge a portable device with a case or cover which
a contactless smart card can be inserted.
●Do not leave portable devices in the cabin. The temperature inside the
cabin may become high when parked in the sun, and cause damage to the
device.
■When the OS of a smartphone has been updated
When the OS version of a smartphone has been changed, the charging
specifications may have changed. If the WPC compatibility version is
changed, the rapid charging function may no longer be able to be used. For
details, check for information on the website for the smartphone manufac-
turer.
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not use the wireless charger for a long period of time with the hybrid sys-
tem stopped.

■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt battery produces hydrogen gas which is flam-
mable and explosive. Therefore, observe the following precautions before
recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt battery installed on the vehicle, be sure to dis-
connect the ground cable.
●Make sure the power switch on the charger is off when connecting and dis-
connecting the charger cables to the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
●Unlocking the doors using the smart key system may not be possible imme-
diately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The
hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the
hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt.
●The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to the status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn off
the power before disconnecting the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when
connecting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to discharge is
unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts, contact your Toyota
dealer.

■Scheduled maintenance of the air intake vent is necessary when
In some situations such as when the vehicle is used frequently or in heavy
traffic or dusty areas, the air intake vent may need to be cleaned more regu-
larly. For details, refer to “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Man-
ual Supplement”.
■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 battery (traction bat-
tery) becomes limited, the distance that the vehicle 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 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 your
Toyota dealer.
■If “Maintenance Required for Traction Battery Cooling Parts See Owner’s
Manual” is displayed on the multi-information display
●If this warning message is displayed on the multi-information display,
remove the air intake vent cover and clean the filter. (P. 465)
●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 drive the vehicle
up to approximately 20 minutes before the warning message disappears. If
the warning message does not disappear after driving for appropriately 20
minutes, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When cleaning the air intake vent
●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 components, a mal-
function or fire may occur.
●Before cleaning the air intake vent, make sure to turn the power switch off
to stop the hybrid system.

■If “Maintenance Required for Traction Battery Cooling Parts See
Owner’s Manual” is displayed on the multi-information display
If the vehicle is continuously driven with the warning message (indicating
that charging/discharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may
become limited) displayed, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may mal-
function. If a warning message is displayed, clean the air intake vent imme-
diately.
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.
