861-4. Hybrid system
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor,
the emergency shut off system
blocks the high voltage current
and stops the fuel pump to mini-
mize the risk of electrocution
and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates,
your vehicle will not restart. To
restart the hybrid system, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction
occurs in the hybrid system or
an improper operation is
attempted.
If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) air intake vents
●Make sure not to block the air
intake vents with anything, such
as a seat cover, plastic cover, or
luggage. If the vents become
blocked, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) input and out-
put may be restricted, leading to
a reduction in hybrid battery
(traction battery) output and a
malfunction.
●When dust etc. has accumu-
lated in the air intake vents,
clean them with a vacuum
cleaner to prevent the vents
from clogging.
●Do not get water or foreign
materials in the air intake vents
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 bot-
tles in the vehicle. If water spills
onto the hybrid battery (traction
battery), the battery may be
damaged. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●There are filters installed to the
air intake vents. When the filters
remain noticeably dirty even
after cleaning the air intake
vents, filters cleaning or
replacement is recommended.
For information regarding filters
cleaning or replacement, refer
to P.444.
●If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling Parts
See Owner’s Manual” is shown
on the multi-information dis-
play, the air intake vents and fil-
ters may be clogged. Refer to
P.443for information on how to
clean the air intake vents.

switch.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restr icted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.333)
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●When the driving mode is set to
Eco driving mode, the Eco air con-
ditioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by pressing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may
not operate even when “A/C” switch
is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air
mode.
●During use, various odors from
inside and outside the vehicle may
enter into and a ccumulate in the
air conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from
occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to out-
side air mode prior to turning the
vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may
be delayed for a short period of
time immediately after the air con-
ditioning system is started in auto- matic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.

Maintenance and care
Use only Toyota wheel nuts
and wrenches designed for
use with your aluminum
wheels.
 When rotating, repairing or
changing your tires, check
that the wheel nuts are still
tight after driving 1000 miles
(1600 km).
 Vehicles with 17-inch or 18-
inch tires: Be careful not to
damage the aluminum wheels
when using tire chains.
 Use only Toyota genuine bal-
ance weights or equivalent
and a plastic or rubber ham-
mer when balancing your
wheels. 1

2 Open the glove box and slide
off the damper.
3 Push in each side of the
glove box to disconnect the
claws, and then slowly and
fully open the glove box while
supporting it.
NOTICE
■Replacing tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters
●Because tire repair or replace-
ment may affect the tire pres-
sure warning valves and
transmitters, make sure to have
tires serviced by your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop. In addition, make sure to
purchase your tire pressure
warning valves and transmit-
ters at your Toyota dealer.
●Ensure that only genuine
Toyota wheels are used on your
vehicle.
Tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters may not work
properly with non-genuine
wheels.
Aluminum wheel precau-
tions
Air conditioning filter
The air conditioning filter

filter should be pointing up.
8When installing, reverse the
steps listed.
■Checking interval
Inspect and replace the air condi-
tioning filter according to the mainte-
nance schedule. In dusty areas or
areas with heavy traffic flow, early
replacement may be required. (For
scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the “Owner’s Manual
Supplement” or “Scheduled Mainte-
nance Guide”.)
■If air flow from the vents
decreases dramatically
The filter may be clogged. Check
the filter and rep lace if necessary.

Maintenance and care
Remove the dust from the air
intake vents with a vacuum
cleaner, etc.
Make sure to only use a vacuum to
suck out dust and clogs. Attempting
to blow out dust and clogs using an
airgun, etc. may push it into the air
intake vent. (P.446)
NOTICE
■When using the air condition-
ing system
Make sure that a filter is always
installed. Using the air condition-
ing system without a filter may
cause damage to the system.
■When removing the glove box
Always follow the specified proce-
dure to remove the glove box
(  P.441). If the glove box is
removed without following the
specified procedure, the hinge of
the glove box may become dam-
aged.
■To prevent damage to the fil-
ter cover
When moving the filter cover in
the direction of arrow to release
the fitting, pay attention not to
apply excessive force to the
claws. Otherwise, the claws may
be damaged.
Cleaning the hybrid
battery (traction bat-
tery) air intake vents
and filters
To prevent the fuel econ-
omy from being affected,
visually inspect the hybrid
battery (traction battery) air
intake vents periodically for
dust and clogs. If they are
dusty or clogged or if
“Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling
Parts See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display, clean the air
intake vents using the fol-
lowing procedures:

■Scheduled maintenance of the
air intake vents is necessary
when
In some situations such as when the
vehicle is used frequently or in
heavy traffic or dusty areas, the air
intake vents may need to be
cleaned more regularly. For details,
refer to “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment”.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
●Dust in the air in take vents may
interfere with the cooling of the
hybrid battery (traction 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 vents periodi-
cally.
●Improper handling of the air intake
vent covers and filters may result
in damage to them. If you have
any concerns about cleaning the
filters, contact your Toyota dealer.
■If “Maintenance Required for
Traction Battery Cooling Parts
See Owner’s Manual” is shown
on the multi-information display
●If this warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
remove the air intake vent covers
and clean the filters. (
P.444)
●After cleaning the air intake vents,
start the hybrid system and check
that the warning message is no
longer shown.
It may take approximately 20 min-
utes after the hybrid system is
started until the warning message
disappears. If the warning mes-
sage does not disappear, have
the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When cleaning the air intake
vents
●Do not use water or other liq-
uids to clean the air intake
vents. If water is applied to the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
or other components, a mal-
function or fire may occur.
●Before cleaning the air intake
vents, make sure to turn the
power switch off to stop the
hybrid system.
■When removing the air intake
vent covers
Do not touch the service plug
located underneath the console
box. ( P.84)
