Maintenance and care
8 Install the clip.
QCleaning the air intake vent
ODust in the air intake vent may inter- fere with the cooling of the DC/DC converter. If the cooling perfor-
mance/capacity of the DC/DC con- verter becomes limited, the 12-volt battery may discharge. Inspect and
clean the air intake vent periodically.
OImproper handling of the air intake
vent cover and filter may result in damage to them. If you have any con-cerns about cleaning the filter, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-able repairer.
QIf “Maintenance required for DCDC
converter cooling parts See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-information display
OIf this warning message is shown on the multi-information display, remove
the air intake vent cover and clean the filter. ( P.479)
OAfter cleaning the air intake vent, start the hybrid system and check that the warning message is no longer shown.
It may take approximately 20 minutes after the hybrid system is started until the warning message disappears. If
the warning message does not disap- pear, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer.
WARNING
QWhen cleaning the air intake vent
OBefore cleaning the air intake vent,
make sure to turn the power switch off to stop the hybrid system.
ODo not use water or other liquids to clean the air intake vent. If water is applied to the DC/DC converter or
other components, a malfunction or fire may occur.
NOTICE
QWhen cleaning the air intake vent
When cleaning the air intake vent, make sure to only use a vacuum to
suck out dust and clogs. If a com- pressed 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 per-formance of the DC/DC converter and
cause a malfunction.
QTo prevent damage to the vehicle
ODo not allow water or foreign matter to enter the air intake vent when the
cover is removed.
OCarefully handle the removed filter
so that it will not be damaged. If the filter is damaged, have it replaced with a new filter by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
OMake sure to reinstall the filter and cover to their original positions after cleaning.

1Move the wiper blade until a
click sound can be heard and
the claw detaches, and then
remove the wiper blade from the
wiper arm.
2 Pull the wiper insert out past the
stopper on the wiper blade, and
then continue to pull until it is
completely removed.
Lightly grasp between the claws of the wiper blade to allow the wiper insert to lift up, making it easier to remove.
3 Remove the 2 metal plates from
the old wiper insert and install
them to the replacement wiper
insert.
4 Insert the wiper insert starting
from the claw at the center of
the wiper blade. Pass the wiper
insert through the 3 claws so
that it sticks out from the stop-
per, and then pass the wiper
insert through the final remain-
ing claw.
Applying a small amount of washer fluid to the wiper insert can make it easier to insert the claws into the grooves.
5 Check that the wiper blade
claws are fitted in the grooves of
the wiper insert.
If the wiper blade claws are not fitted in
the grooves of the wiper insert, grasp the wiper insert and slide it back and forth multiple times to insert the claws
into the grooves.
Lightly lift up the center of the wiper insert to make the rubber easier to
