■Notice about fuel
●For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and

possible that the quality of the fuel remaining in the tank has changed, “No
new fuel has been added recently. Please refuel” is displayed on the multi-
information display when the power switch is turned to ON mode. If the
message is displayed, refuel the vehicle immediately.

cautions regarding the cooling air intake
vents. Failure to observe these precau-
tions may result in a charging system
