Hey everybody I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving and is ready for the holidays. Lately during my daily commutes I would occasionally get a message on the dash that says "climate control activated to cool hybrid system" then my a/c would turn on. I haven't noticed any changes in performance. Anyone else experiencing this? I drive a 08 600

Sorry if it's a wall of text i'm typing this on my phone.

Never seen this message before But I have an 08

The Prius has a vent next to the right rear seatback that cools the hybrid battery. Since the 600h has an even larger battery, it has some kind of vent system that might pull from the interior. If that intake is blocked by something, the battery will get too hot. Related interesting thread: http://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f4...portant-22229/

The vents of the hybrid battery are behind the back seat both sides of the subwoofer. Do you have anything blocking these vents?

I have a 2008 LS600hL, and I've never experienced that warning message. Probably just a blocked vent, as others have suggested...

Interesting read. I'll check if anything is blocking the vents.
