Maintenance and care
Engage the filter to the 2
claws as shown in the illus-
tration.
Engage the claw to install the
filter.
Make sure that t he filter is not
crooked or deformed when install-
ing it.
7 Install the air intake vent
cover.
Insert the tab of the cover as
shown in the illustration.
Push the cover to engage the
3 claws.
8 Using a Phillips screwdriver,
install the clip.
■Scheduled maintenance of the
air intake vent is necessary
when
In some situations such as when the
vehicle is used frequently or in
heavy traffic or dusty areas, the air intake vent may need to be cleaned
more regularly. For d
etails, refer to
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
■Cleaning the air intake vent
●Dust in the air intake vent may
interfere with the cooling of the
hybrid battery (trac tion battery). If
charging/discharging of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) becomes
limited, the distance that the vehi-
cle can be driven using the electric
motor (traction motor) may be
reduced and the fuel economy
may be reduced.
Inspect and clean the air intake
vent periodically.
●Improper handling of the air intake
vent cover and filt er may result in
damage to them. If you have any
concerns about cleaning the filter,
contact your Toyota dealer.
■If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling Parts
See Owner’s Manual” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display
●If this warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information
display, remove the air intake vent
cover and clean the filter.
(  P.456)
●After cleaning the air intake vent,
start the hybrid system and check
that the warning message is no
longer displayed.
After the hybrid system is started,
it may be necessary to drive the
vehicle up to approximately 20
minutes before the warning mes-
sage disappears. If the warning
message does not disappear after
driving for appropriately 20 min-
utes, have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer.

■When cleaning the air intake
vent
●Do not use water or other liq-
uids to clean the air intake vent.
If water is applied to the hybrid
battery (traction battery) or
other components, a malfunc-
tion or fire may occur.
●Before cleaning the air intake
vent, make sure to turn the
power switch off to stop the
hybrid system.
■When removing the air intake
vent cover
Do not touch the service plug
located near the air intake vent.
(  P. 8 4 )
NOTICE
■When cleaning the air intake
vent
When cleaning the air intake vent,
make sure to only use a vacuum
to suck out dust and clogs. If a
compressed air blow gun, etc. is
used to blow out dust and clogs,
the dust or clogs may be pushed
into the air intake vent, which may
affect the performance of the
hybrid battery (tr action battery)
and cause a malfunction.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle
●Do not allow liquid or foreign
material to enter the air intake
vent when the cover is
removed.
●Carefully handle the removed
filter so that i t will not be dam-
aged.
If the filter is damaged, have it
replaced with a new filter by
your Toyota dealer.
●Make sure to reinstall the filter
and cover to their original posi-
tions after cleaning.
●Do not install anything to the air
intake vent other than the exclu-
sive filter for this vehicle or use
the vehicle witho ut the filter
installed.
■If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling
Parts See Owner’s Manual” is
displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
If the vehicle is continuously
driven with the warning message
(indicating that charging/discharg-
ing of the hybrid battery [traction
battery] may become limited) dis-
played, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) may malfunction. If the
warning message is displayed,
clean the air intake vent immedi-
ately.

If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
3 After the hybrid system has
cooled down sufficiently,
inspect the hoses and radia-
tor core (radiator) for any
leaks.

If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately cont act your Toyota
dealer.
4 The coolant level is satisfac-
tory if it is between the “MAX”
and “MIN” lines on the reser-
voir.
Reservoir
“MAX” line

5 Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
6Start the hybrid system and
turn the air conditioning sys-
tem on to check that the radi-
ator cooling fans operate and
to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air con-
ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm
that the fans are operating by
c h e c k i n g t h e f a n s o u n d a n d a i r f l o w.
If it is difficult to check these, turn
the air conditioni ng system on and
off repeatedly. (The fans may not
operate in freezing temperatures.)
7 If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at
the nearest Toyota dealer.
If “Hybrid System Over-
heated Output Power
Reduced” is shown on the

■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from
under the hood, do not open the
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.

5208-2. Steps to take in an emergency
COROLLA HV_U
1Stop the hybrid system. Set
the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P.
2 Remove the mud, snow or
sand from around the front
wheels.
3 Place wood, stones or some
other material under the front
wheels to help provide trac-
tion.
4 Restart the hybrid system.
5 Shift the shift lever to D or R
and release the parking
brake. Then, while exercising
caution, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the
vehicle
Press the switch to turn off
TRAC.
WA R N I N G
●After the hybrid system has
been turned off, check that the
“READY” indicator is off. When
the hybrid system is operating,
the gasoline en gine may auto-
matically start, o r the cooling
fans may suddenly operate
even if the gasoline engine
stops. Do not touch or approach
rotating parts such as the fan,
which may lead to fingers or
clothing (especially a tie, a scarf
or a muffler) getting caught,
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir caps while the hybrid sys-
tem and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power
control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the
hybrid system has cooled down
sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to
a hot hybrid system too quickly
can cause damage to the hybrid
system.
■To prevent damage to the
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
If the vehicle becomes
stuck
Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or
the vehicle becomes stuck
in mud, dirt or snow:

Vehicle specifications
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability.
Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher
viscosity (one with a higher value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.
