NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Make sure not to block the air intake vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage. The hybrid battery (traction battery) may
overheat and be damaged.
● When dust, etc., has accumulated in the air intake vent, clean it with a vac-
uum cleaner to prevent the vent from clogging.
● Do not get water or foreign materials in the air intake vent as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● 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.
● 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. When cleaning or replacing the filter, contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
When “Maintenance Required For Hybrid Battery Cooling Parts At Your
Dealer.” is shown on the multi-information display, the filter may be
clogged. Have the filter cleaned or replaced at any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

4866-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

■ Air conditioning filter
 P. 558
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. A/C Auto switch operation) can be changed.
(Customizable features: P. 679)
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■ To prevent burns
● Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.
● Vehicles with windshield wiper de-icer: Do not touch the glass at the lower
part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars when the windshield
wiper de-icer is on.
■ nanoe™ generator (if equipped)
Do not disassemble or repair the generator because it contains high voltage
parts.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer if the generator needs repair.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.

C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10538E
■ If “Maintenance Required for Hybrid Battery Cooling Parts at Your
Dealer” is shown
The filter may be clogged, the air intake vent may be blocked or there may be
a gap in the duct. Have maintenance performed on the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) cooling component at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If “Depress Brake When Vehicle is Stopped. Hybrid System may Over-
heat.” is shown
The message may be shown when the accelerator pedal is depressed to hold
the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped on an uphill, etc.
The hybrid system may overheat. Release the accelerator pedal and depress
the brake pedal.
■ If “Maintenance Required For Hybrid Battery Cooling Parts At Your
Dealer” is shown
The filter may be clogged, the air intake vent may be blocked or there may be
a gap in the duct. Have maintenance performed on the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) cooling component at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ If “Hybrid Battery Low Hybrid System Stopped Shift to and Restart”
is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is low, because vehicle has been shifted to N for a long period of
time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to P and restart the hybrid system.
■ If “Hybrid Battery Low. Shift Out of to Recharge.” is shown
