Maintenance and care
Clean the air intake vents by the follow-
ing procedures to prevent dust from
accumulating in them, or to prevent
them from clogging.
There are air intake vents on the both sides
of the seats.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
1 Remove the dust from the vents
with a vacuum cleaner etc.
Clean the vents of the both sides.
2Start the hybrid system and check
that the warning message on the multi-information display disap-
pears.
It may take about 20 minutes before the
warning message disappears.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
●Dust on the air inta
ke vents may inter-
feres cooling of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) and results in poor fuel
consumption. Clean the air intake vents
periodically.
●If continuing to drive the vehicle with
“Maintenance required for Traction bat-
tery cooling parts See owner’s manual”
shown on the multi-information display,
the hybrid battery (traction battery) input
and output may be restricted, leading to a
reduction in hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) output and a malfunction. It may
cause poor fuel consumption or a mal-
function. If the warning message is shown,
contact your Lexus dealer or clean the air
intake vents immediately.
●If the warning message on the multi-infor-
mation display does not disappear after
cleaning the air intake vents, have the
vehicle inspected by your Lexus dealer.
●Timing of cleaning air intake vents differs
depending on the use environment of the
vehicle.
NOTICE
■Cleaning the front side windows
Do not use any compound or abrasive
product (e.g., glass cleaner, detergent,
wax) to clean the wi ndows. It may dam-
age the coating.
