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.

■Customization 
Some functions can be customized.  ( P.494)1Press the automatic mode  
switch. 
2 Adjust the temperature setting. 
3 To stop the operation, press the  
off switch. 
If the fan speed setting or air flow  
modes are operated, the automatic  
mode indicator goes off. However,  
automatic mode for functions other  
than that operated is maintained.
■Using automatic mode 
Fan speed is adjusted automatically  according to the temperature setting and the ambient conditions.
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.
