Hybrid battery air vent

Hybrid battery air vent

There is an air intake vent on the

package tray for the purpose of

cooling the hybrid battery (trac-

tion battery). If the vent becomes

blocked, the hybrid battery may

overheat, leading to a reduction in

hybrid battery output.

Emergency shut off system

The emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and

stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage

when a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor. If the

emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. To

restart the hybrid system, contact your Lexus dealer.
