Thread: Hybrid cars what to look for.

Well picked up my 2011 Lexus CT200H from the dealer and first tank of fuel (45L tank) I'm on target for about 750-800ish kms so far most of this being open road driving running 91 fuel. that's nothing to sneeze at as far as I'm concerned.

Had the toyota rep call in. Apparently there's a filter and blower motor somewhere in toyotas (could be other makes as well) that cools the battery. Might be worth checking it as he said their starting to get a few cases of cooked batteries....

In lots of the Toyotas it’s in the back seat foot well. Doesn’t seem like the smartest place for it but give it a check once in a while and it’ll be fine. I have a reminder on my phone to check it once a month. Batteries running over temp will reduce their life.

Lots of YouTube cleaning vids around for this also.. my kids carseat is directly above it so gets all sort "Stuff" down there.

Very simple to give it a clean

That's always struck me as an odd expression. Really means its full of spit, snot, biscuit crumbs etc etc
