1-4. Hybrid system
There is an air intake vent under
the left side of the rear seat for the
purpose of cooling the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery). If the vent
becomes blocked, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) input and out-
put may be reduced.
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks
the high voltage current and stops
the fuel pump to minimize the risk
of electrocution and fuel leakage. If
the emergency shut off system acti-
WARNING
When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident
is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may not be aware of these dangers.
●If your vehicle is disposed of with-out the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of seri- ous electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their connectors
are touched. In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of
by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. If the hybrid bat-
tery is not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the battery may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) air intake vent
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
●Make sure that the air intake vent is not blocked, such as by a seat cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If
the vent is blocked, the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) input and out-put may be restricted, possibly
leading to a malfunction.
●Clean the air intake vent regularly
to prevent the hybrid battery (trac- tion battery) from overheating.
●Do not get water or foreign materi-als in the air intake vent as this may cause a short circuit and damage
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
●A filter is installed to the air intake
vent. When the filter remains noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filter cleaning or
replacement is recommended. Refer to P.406 for details on how to clean the filters.

• When opening the front vent on the
passenger side (left-hand drive vehi- cles) or driver side (right-hand drive vehicles).
●When nanoe™ X is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and
may be faintly smelled in some situa- tions. However, this is approximately the same as the amount that already
exists in nature, such as in forests, and it has no affect on the human body.
●A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.*1: “nanoe X” is a “nanoe” generator.
*2: nanoe™ and the nanoe™ mark are
trademarks of Panasonic Corpora-
tion.
*3: According to temperature and humid-
ity conditions, fan speed and direc-
tion of the air flow, the nanoe™
system may not operate at full capac-
ity.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger
switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-ence between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the outside rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become
very hot and burn you.
■nanoe™ X
Do not disassemble or repair the gen- erator because it contains high volt-
age parts. Contact any Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any repairer if the generator needs repair.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
Do not leave the air conditioning sys-
tem on longer than necessary when the hybrid system is off.
■To prevent damage to the nanoe™ X
Do not insert anything into the front
center vent on the passenger side (left-hand drive vehicles) or driver side (right-hand drive vehicles) vent,
attach anything to it, or use sprays around the passenger side (left-hand drive vehicles) or driver side (right-
hand drive vehicles) vent. These things may cause the generator not to work properly.
