Hybrid battery air vents
Air vents are located in the lower part
of the rear seats to cool the hybrid
battery. If the vents are covered, the
battery will overheat resulting in re-
duced output performance of the hybrid
system.
You may hear a noise of the cooling fans
from the air vents.For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be
sure to consult your Toyota dealer.
If your vehicle is beyond repair, contact
your Toyota dealer for assistance. Do
not attempt to dispose of your vehicle
by yourself.
CAUTION
Your vehicle contains a sealed Nick-
el Metal hydride battery. If disposed
of improperly, it is hazardous to the
environment and there is a risk of
severe burns and electrical shock that
may result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Do not put foreign objects over the
air vent. The hybrid battery may be
overheated and damaged.
Do not load a large amount of wa-
ter such as an aquarium into the
vehicle. If water spills over the hy-
brid battery, the battery may be
damaged.
Do not wet the air vent. This may
adversely affect or damage the hy-
brid battery.
Clean the air vent regularly to pre-
vent the hybrid battery from over-
heating.

(d) Charging System Warning Light
When there are problems in the charging
system while the hybrid system is running,
the warning light comes on.
NOTICE
When the charging system warning
light comes on while the hybrid sys-
tem is running, malfunctions may
have occurred. If the warning light
comes on, immediately stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
(e) Hybrid Battery Warning Light
This light comes on in the following
cases:
a. The hybrid battery voltage drops be- cause the transmission is left in the
“N” position.
If you put the transmission in the “P”
position and the light goes off, the system
is working properly. b. The hybrid battery is discharged.

warning light comes on along with the
“READY” light, stop your vehicle in a safe
place and contact your Toyota dealer. (f) Malfunction Indicator Lamp

key is turned to the “ON” position and
goes off after the hybrid system starts.

tem is operating properly.

comes on while driving, first check the
followings.
Empty fuel tank

ately.
Loose fuel tank cap

tighten it.
These cases are temporary malfunctions.

after taking several driving trips.
If the lamp does not go off even after
several trips, contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

Maintenance (I/M) programs” on page 374
in Section 6.
(g) Low Fuel Level Warning Light

in the tank becomes nearly empty. Fill up
the tank as soon as possible.

ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.

The air conditioning filter information
label is placed in the glove box as
shown and indicates that a filter has
been installed.
The air conditioning filter prevents dust
from entering the vehicle through the air
conditioning vent.The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.The air conditioning filter may clog af-
ter long use. The filter may need to be
replaced if the air flow of the air condi-
tioning and heater experiences extreme
reductions in operating efficiency, or if
the windows begin to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning
filter according to the maintenance sched-
ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy
traffic flow, such as inner city or desert
areas, early replacement may be required.
(For scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the “Scheduled Mainte-
nance Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual Supple-
ment”.)

Always slow down in gusty cross-
winds. Because of its profile and
higher center of gravity, your ve-
hicle is more sensitive to side
winds than an ordinary passenger
car. Slowing down will allow you to
have better control.
When off road driving cannot be
avoided, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns, or
strike objects, etc. These maneu-
vers may result in loss of control
or vehicle rollover causing death or
serious injury. You also risk expen-
sive damage to your vehicle’s sus-
pension and chassis.
Do not drive horizontally across
steep slopes. Driving straight up or
straight down is preferred. Your ve-
hicle (or any similar off road ve-
hicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or back-
ward.
Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break−in. But following a few simple tips
for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add
to the future economy and long life of
your vehicle:
Avoid full throttle acceleration when
starting and driving.
Avoid racing the hybrid system.
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
km (500 miles). FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only un-
leaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mix
−ups, your
Toyota has a smaller fuel tank opening.
The special nozzle on pumps with un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.
At a minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5 −M93
in Canada.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of
leaded gasoline will cause the three
way catalytic converter to lose its ef-
fectiveness and the emission control
system to function improperly. Also,
this can increase maintenance costs.
