Smart key system
Users of any electrical medical devices such as im-
planted pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its operation under the
influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
For details, see “Keys” on page 22 in Section 1−2.
Tires and loading on your
To y o t a
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the
excess load may result in the deterioration of
steering ability and braking ability, leading to an
accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi-
cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in
this Owner ’s Manual. For details about tire inflation
pressure and load limits, see pages 359 and 295.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This
check is done approximately five hours after the hybrid
system is turned off. So you may hear s ound coming from
underneath the trunk for several minutes. It does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
Hybrid battery
The hybrid battery has a limited service life. Call your
Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop for information
about re cycling or disposal of the battery.

Scrapping of your Toyota
CAUTION
In the event that your vehicle must be disposed of,
make sure to contact your Toyota dealer or a quali-
fied service shop. If your vehicle is disposed of
without the hybrid battery having been removed,
there is a danger of serious electric shock if high
voltage parts, cables and their connectors are tou-
ched. The hybrid batteries must be disposed of by
your Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop. If the
traction batteries are not disposed of properly, they
may cause electric shock that can result a death or
serious injury.
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your
Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is
scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as they
are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to
have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten-
sioner removed and disposed of by the qualified service
shop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of your
vehicle.
High voltage cautions
CAUTION
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as
well as a 12volt system. 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 and their connectors.
High voltage parts and cables are indicated in the
illustration on page 7. Touching, di sassembling, re-
moving or replacing those parts and cables can
cause severe burns or electric shock that may re- sult in death or serious injury.
Never try to open the service plug access hole
located in the trunk. The service plug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced and is subject to
high voltage. Touching the service plug can cause
severe burns or electric shock that may result in
death or serious injury.

The hybrid system uses high voltage up to 650 V.
The system can be hot while and after starting. Be
careful of both the high voltage and the high tem-
perature. Obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
Road accident cautions
CAUTION
Pull your vehicle off the road, put the transmis-
sion in the “P” position, apply the parking brake, turn the hybrid system off and carry the key.
In order to avoid death or serious injury, do not
touch high voltage wiring, connectors or high volt-
age parts (inverter unit, hybrid battery and etc.).
High voltage parts and cables are indicated in the illustration on page 7.
If exposed electric wires are protruding inside or
outside of your vehicle, an electric shock may oc- cur. Never touch the electric wires.
If fluid leaks or gets into some parts of the ve-
hicle, never touch it because it may be strong al-
kaline electrolyte from the hybrid battery. If it con-
tacts your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately
with a large amount of water or if possible, boric
acid solution. Get immediate medical attention in order to help avoid serious injury.

If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the
vehicle as soon as possible. Never use a fire ex-
tinguisher that is not meant for use on electric
fires. Using a small amount of water may be also dangerous.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the
front wheels raised. If the wheels with the motor
generator are on the ground when towing, the mo-
tor may continue to generate electricity. This may
cause the electricity leakage. Depending on the se-
verity of the damage, electricity leakage may
cause fire. See “If your vehicle needs to be
towed” on page 327 in Section 4.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply,
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate.
These components may include airbag, seat belt preten-
sioners, and wireless remote control batteries.

Toyota hybrid system combines the
power of an engine and a traction mo-
tor to minimize fuel consumption and
emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs optimally on a combination of
the engine and traction motor.
Since the engine charges the hybrid bat-
tery as needed, the battery does not have
to be charged from an outside source like
an electric vehicle.In your hybrid vehicle, there are several
indicators that show different aspects
of fuel consumption:
Instrument cluster indicators
1. Current fuel consumption (fuel economy
meter):
See “Fuel economy meter” in Section
1−6 on page 133.
2. Average fuel consumption after refuel- ing (“TANK AVG”):
See “—Outside temperature and cruise
information” in Section 1 −6 on page
135.
3. Average fuel consumption after the hy- brid system is turned on (“ECO DRIVE
LEVEL”):
See “—Outside temperature and cruise
information” in Section 1 −6 on page
135.

Navigation system indicators (models with
navigation system only)
1. Transition of fuel consumption in thepast 30 minutes (“Consumption”):
See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255.
2. Best fuel economy (lowest fuel con- sumption) among average (“Best”):
See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255.
3. Average fuel consumption (“Average”): See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255. Toyota hybrid system performs various
controls depending on the operating
condition. The condition appears on the
multiinformation display and/or naviga-
tion system screen (with navigation
system) when the display and/or screen
is in “Energy Monitor” mode. See
“—Outside temperature and cruise in-
formation” on page 135 in Section 16
and “Trip information” on page 255 in
Section 110 for the operation of the
display and screen.
These are representative examples of
energy monitor displays. Depending on
the condition, the energy monitor dis-
plays the graphics different from those
shown below. Depending on conditions,
the graphic does not reflect the actual
motion of the vehicle.
