WARNING

■ When installing a child restraint system

● If child restraint system regulations exist in the country where you reside,

please contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly

qualified and equipped professional for the child restraint system installa-

tion.

1

●When a junior seat is installed, always ensure that the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of the child’s shoulder. The belt should be

kept away from the child’s neck, but not so that it could fall off the child’s

shoulder. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event

of a sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

● Ensure that the belt and plate are securely locked and the seat belt is not

twisted.

● Shake the child restraint system left and right, and forward and backward

to ensure that it has been securely installed.

● After securing a child restraint system, never adjust the seat.

●Follow all installation instructions provided by the child restraint system

manufacturer.

●When a child restraint system with a top strap is installed, do not install the

head restraint. The head restraint may interfere with the top strap prevent-

ing secure installation of the child restraint system.

● Make sure to properly store the removed head restraint in a secure place

when you use the child restraint system on the rear seat.

● When using the rear right seat for the

child restraint system, do not sit in the

rear center seat. Seat belt function may

be impaired, such as being positioned

overly high or loose-fitting, which may

result in death or serious injury in the

event of sudden braking or an accident.

■ To correctly attach a child restraint system to the anchors

When using the lower anchors, be sure that there are no foreign objects

around the anchors and that the seat belt is not caught behind the child

restraint system. Make sure the child restraint system is securely attached,

or it may cause death or serious injury to the child or other passengers in

the event of a sudden braking, sudden swerve or an accident.

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust

gases if inhale.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to

an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious

health hazard.

■ Important points while driving

● Keep the back door closed.

●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is

closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional as soon as possible.

■ When parking

● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the hybrid system.

●Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system operating for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space

and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or

where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the

hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehi-

cle.

■ Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or

crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be

sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Hybrid system features

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different

from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with

the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate it with care.

1

The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and

an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving condi-

tions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emis-

sions.

The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from

actual item.

■ Regenerative braking

In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and

deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the

hybrid battery (traction battery).

● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or B.

● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or B.

■ EV indicator

1

The EV indicator comes on when the

vehicle is driven using only the electric

motor (traction motor) or the gasoline

engine is stopped.

■ Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop

The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop

automatically in the following conditions:

● During gasoline engine warm-up

● During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging

● When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low

● When the heater is switched on

■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)

As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-

tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the

vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will

slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once

every few months for at least 30 minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid

battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start

the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Hybrid system precautions

Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high volt-

age system (about 520 V at maximum) as well as contains parts

that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating.

Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

1-2. Hybrid system

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent

There is an air intake vent on the

side of the lower part of the rear

left seat for the purpose of cooling

the hybrid battery

(traction bat-

tery). If the vent becomes

blocked, the hybrid battery may

overheat, leading to a reduction in

hybrid battery output.

Emergency shut off 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 minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If

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

To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or

repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

■ If a warning light comes on, or the 12-volt battery is disconnected

The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If

the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

■ Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started,

refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level

warning light (P. 407) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the

hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about

7.0 L [1.8 gal., 1.5 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value

may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is

inclined.)

■ Electromagnetic waves

● High voltage parts and cables on hybrid vehicles incorporate electromag-

netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec-

tromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home

electronic appliances.

● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced

radio parts.

■ Hybrid battery (traction battery)

The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of

the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving

style and driving conditions.

■ Declaration of conformity

This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulation ECE100

(Battery electric vehicle safety).

WARNING

■ High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-

tem. DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause severe

burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury.

●Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts,

cables or their connectors.

●The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses high

voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature, and

always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

●Never try to open the service plug

access hole located underneath the

rear seats. The service plug is used

only when the vehicle is serviced and is

subject to high voltage.

■ Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious

injury:

●Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever

to P, and turn the hybrid system off.

●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.

● If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric

shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.

● If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline

electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact

with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water

or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.

NOTICE

■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent

●Do not place objects that will block the

air intake vent. The hybrid battery (trac-

tion battery) may overheat and be dam-

aged.

1

●Clean the air intake vent regularly to

prevent the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) from overheating.

●Do not get water or foreign materials in

the air intake vent as this may cause a

short circuit and damage the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery).

●Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the

vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery

may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
