Terminals

cableHold−down clamp
Check the battery for corroded or loose
terminal connections, cracks, or loose
holddown clamp.
a. If the battery is corroded, wash it off with a solution of warm water and bak-
ing soda. Coat the outside of the termi-
nals with grease to prevent further cor-
rosion.
b. If the terminal connections are loose, tighten their clamp nuts—but do not
overtighten.
c. Tighten the hold− down clamp only
enough to keep the battery firmly in
place. Overtightening may damage the
battery case.
NOTICE
 Be sure the hybrid system and all
accessories are off before perform-
ing maintenance.
 When checking the battery, remove
the ground cable from the negative
terminal (“–” mark) first and rein-
stall it last.
 Be careful not to cause a short cir-
cuit with tools.
 Take care no solution gets into the
battery when washing it.
If the auxiliary battery is disc onnected
or run down, the power window and back
door may not operate automatically and
the jam protection function will not func-
tion correctly and does not open the back
door after you reconnect, replace or re-
charge the battery. In any of these cases,
you should normalize each system. To
normalize them, see “Power windows” on
page 42 and “Back door” on page 41.
Before you disconnect the auxiliary bat-
tery, confirm the shift position is “P” and
apply the parking brake completely. After you reconnect the auxiliary battery,
shift the shift lever to “N” and confirm the
shift position is “N” when the “IG
−ON”
mode is enabled.
After connecting the cables, the hybrid
system may not start by pushing the
“POWER” switch. In that case, push it
once again.

In order to be effective, the SRS
airbags must deploy with tremen-
dous speed. The rapid deployment
of the SRS airbags makes the
SRS airbags themselves potential
sources of serious injury if an oc-
cupant is too close to an airbag,
or if an object or some part of his
or her body has been placed be-
tween the occupant and the airbag
at the time of deployment. This is
just one example of how the in-
structions in Section 2−2 of this
Owner ’s Manual will help ensure
proper use of the occupant re-
straint systems, and increase the
safety they can provide to you
and your family in the event of an
accident.
Toyota recommends you to read
the provisions in Section 2− 2 care-
fully and refer to them as needed
during your time of ownership of
this vehicle.Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that
monitor and control certain as-
pects of your vehicle. These com-
puters assist in driving and main-
taining optimal vehicle perfor-
mance. Besides storing data useful
for troubleshooting, there is a sys-
tem to record data in a crash or
a near car crash event. This is
called an Event Data Recorder
(EDR).
The SRS airbag sensor assembly
contains the EDR. In a crash or a
near car crash event, this device
records some or all of the follow-
ing information:
 Engine speed
 Whether the brake pedal was
applied or not
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator
pedal was depressed
 Position of the transmission
selector lever
 Whether the driver and front
passenger wore the seat belts
or not
 Driver ’s seat position
 Front passenger ’s occupant

Spark ignition system ofyour Toyota
The spark ignition system in your
Toyota meets all requirements of
the Canadian Interference −Causing
Equipment Standard.
Installation of a mobile twoway radio system
As the installation of a mobile
two −way radio system in your ve-
hicle could affect electronic sys-
tems such as multiport fuel injec-
tion system / sequential multiport
fuel injection system, cruise con-
trol system, anti −lock brake sys-
tem, vehicle stability control sys-
tem, SRS airbag system, seat belt
pretensioner system and Toyota
hybrid system, be sure to check
with your Toyota dealer for pre-
cautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation.
Tires and loading on your Toyota
Underinflated or overinflated
tire inflation pr essure and the
excess load may result in the
deterioration of steering ability
and braking ability, leading to
an accident. Check the tire
inflation pressure periodically
and be sure to keep the load
limits given in this Owner ’s
Manual. For details about tire
inflation pressure and load lim-
its, see page 291 and pages
228.
