interfere with the cooling of the 
traction battery. If charging/dis-
charging of the traction battery

the vehicle can be driven using 
the electric motor may be reduced 
and the fuel economy may be 
reduced. Inspect and clean the air 
intake vents periodically.
●Improper handling of the air intake 
vent covers and filters may result
