Q If “Exhaust Filter Full See Owner’s Man-
ual” is shown on the multi-information
display
O The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate matter
accumulating.
O Hybrid system output (engine speed) is
restricted when a certain amount of par-
ticulate matter accumulates, however, it
is possible to drive the vehicle unless the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
O Particulate matter can accumulate more
quickly if the vehicle is frequently driven
short trips or at low speeds, or if the
hybrid system is regularly started in an
extremely cold environment. Excessive
accumulation of particulate matter can
be prevented by periodically driving long
distances continuously with intermittent
releasing of the accelerator pedal, such
as when driving on highways and free-
ways.
