Some special features of the
hybrid vehicle
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the hy‐ brid system operates, you may hear a
sound from the hybrid battery system
behind the rear seat. If you apply the accelerator pedal rapidly, you may hear
a sound. When you apply the brake
pedal, you may hear a sound from the regenerative brake system. When the
hybrid system is turned off or on, you
may hear a sound in the engine com‐ partment. If you depress the brake
pedal repeatedly when the hybrid sys‐
tem is turned on, you may hear a sound in the engine compartment.
None of these sounds indicate a prob‐
lem.
They are characteristics of hybrid vehi‐ cles. When the hybrid system is turned on,
the engine may run. This does not indi‐
cate a malfunction. If the "READY" symbol is on, the hybrid system is op‐
erating. Even if the gasoline engine is
off, you can operate the vehicle.
The HEV system may emit electromag‐ netic waves which can affect the per‐
formance of electronic devices applian‐
ces, such as laptop computers, which are not part of the vehicle design.
If you park the vehicle for a long time,
the hybrid system will discharge. You
need to drive the vehicle several times per month to maintain a charge.
When you start the hybrid system in
the "P" transmission position, the
"READY" symbol is illuminated in the cluster. The driver can drive the vehicle
even if the engine is stopped.
WARNING
When you leave the vehicle, youshould turn off the hybrid system. Ifyou depress the accelerator pedal bymistake and the vehicle is not in the"P" position, the vehicle will acceler‐ate. This may result in serious injuryor death.

High voltage battery air intake
Hybrid battery air intake
The hybrid battery air intake is located
on the bottom of the rear seats. The air intake cools down the hybrid bat‐
tery. When the hybrid battery air in‐
take is blocked, the hybrid battery may be overheated. Do not obstruct the air
intake with any other objects.

The high-voltage battery air intake is
located on the left side of the rear seats. The air intake cools down the
high-voltage battery.
When the high-voltage battery air in‐
take is blocked, the high-voltage bat‐ tery may be overheated and the vehicle
performance may become limited and
set a hybrid warning lamp. Do not ob‐ struct the air intake with any other ob‐
jects.
