Maintenance and care
Cleaning the hybrid batter y (traction bat-
ter 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. 549)
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 peri-
odically for dust and clogs. If it is dusty or clogged or if “Mainte-
nance Required for Traction Battery Cooling Parts See Owner's
Manual” is shown on the multi-information display, clean the air
intake vent using the following procedures:

■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 the “Toyota Service Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty
Booklet”.
■ Cleaning the air intake vent
● Dust in the air intake vent may interfere with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If charging/dischargi ng 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 any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■ 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 cover and clean the filter. ( P. 545)
● After 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 reliable repairer.
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.
■ When removing the air intake vent cover
Do not touch the service plug located near the air intake vent. ( P. 87)

*5: Rear passengers’ seat belt warning buzzer:
The rear passengers’ seat belt warning buzzer sounds to alert the rear
passenger that his or her seat belt is not fastened. If the seat belt is unfas-
tened, the buzzer sounds intermittently for a certain period of time, after
the seat belt is fastened and unfastened and the vehicle reaches a certain
speed.
*6: This symbol is displayed on the multi-information display.
■ Front passenger detection sensor, seat belt reminder and warning
buzzer
● If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detec-
tion sensor may cause the warning light to flash and the warning buzzer to
sound even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
● If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passenger,
and the warning light may not operate properly.
■ Electric power steering system warning light (warning buzzer)
When the 12-volt battery charge becomes insufficient or the voltage tempo-
rarily drops, the electric power steering system warning light may come on
and the warning buzzer may sound.
■ If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on while driving
For some models, the malfunction indicator lamp will come on if the fuel tank
becomes completely empty. If the fuel tank is empty, refuel the vehicle imme-
diately. The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after several trips.
If the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repai rer, or any reliable repairer as soon
as possible.
■ When the tire pressure warning light comes on (if equipped)
Inspect the appearance of the tire to check that the tire is not punctured.
If the tire is punctured: P. 598, 618
If the tire is not punctured:
Carry out the following procedure after the tire temperature has lowered suffi-
ciently.
● Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
● If the warning light does not go out even after several minutes, check that
the tire inflation pressure is at the specified level and carry out initialization.
( P. 531)
The warning light may come on again if the above operations are conducted
without first allowing the tire temperature to lower sufficiently.

WARNING
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
● Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■ When performing an emergency repair
● A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergenc y repair with the repair kit.
● The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
● Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may
occur.
● Make sure the sealant bottle of the repair kit is in a vertical position. The
repair kit does not operate properly when it is laid.
■ Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
● If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care
not to allow fuel to contact it.
● Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
water.
● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
● Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
