Maintenance and care
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation pres- sure may result in the following:
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drivetrain
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
If a tire needs frequent inflating, have it checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Instructions for checking tire infla-tion pressure
When checking tire inflation pressure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are cold.If your vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours or has not been driven
for more than 1.5 km or 1 mile, you will get an accurate cold tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.It is difficult to judge if a tire is properly
inflated based only on its appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation pres-
sure to be higher after driving as heat is generated in the tire. Do not reduce
tire inflation pressure after driving.
●Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehicle is balanced.
WARNING
■Proper inflation is critical to save
tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated. If the tires are not properly inflated,
the following conditions may occur which could lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire and wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire dam-age
●Greater possibility of tire damage while driving (due to road hazards,
expansion joints, sharp edges on the road, etc.)
NOTICE
■When inspecting and adjusting
tire inflation pressure
Be sure to put the tire valve caps back on.
If a valve cap is not installed, dirt or moisture may get into the valve and cause an air leak, resulting in
decreased tire inflation pressure.

6-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
Remove the dust from the air intake
vent with a vacuum cleaner, etc.
Make sure to only use a vacuum to

blow out dust and clogs using an air-
gun, etc. may push it into the air intake
vent. ( P.408)
If dust and clogs cannot be com-
pletely removed with the air intake
vent cover installed, remove the
cover and clean the filter.
1 Turn the power switch off.
2 Using a flathead screwdriver,
remove the air intake vent cover.
1 Pull the cover as shown in the
illustration to disengage the 2
claws, starting from the claw in
the upper right corner.
2 Pull the cover toward the side of
the vehicle to remove it.
3 Remove the air intake vent filter.

■Scheduled maintenance of the air
intake vent
Refer to “Toyota Service Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty Booklet”.
■Cleaning the air intake vent
●Dust in the air intake vent may inter-fere with the cooling of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery). If charging/discharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes lim-
ited, 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
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.
■If “Maintenance Required for Trac-tion Battery Cooling Parts See
