ANTENNA LOCATION1. Antenna inside cabin and trunk
2. Antenna outside cabin and trunk
ACTUATION AREA
The entry function and start function
are available to use when a registered
key is in the actuation area.
1. Entry function actuation area— About
1 m (3 ft.) from each outside front
door handle and the trunk opener
switch
Only the door handle of the actuation
area that the key holder is in can be
operated.
If the key is close to the door handle,
windows or the center of the rear
bumper, on the ground or above the
roof, the entry function may not be
activated. 2. Start function actuation area—
Inside
of the cabin
The start function may not be acti-
vated, if the key is in the auxiliary box
of the driver ’s side instrument panel
and glove box, on the instrument pan-
el, on the package tray, on the floor,
etc.
In the following cases, the smart key
system may not operate properly.
When facilities issuing strong electro-
magnetic waves such as TV towers,
electric power stations, broad casting
stations are nearby.
In places where automated payment fa-
cilities are installed (such as gas sta-
tions).
When you are carrying a electronic key
together with a mobile communications
system such as a two −way radio or
cellular phone.
When the electronic key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic object.
When another person is operating a
wireless remote control function on
another vehicle near your vehicle.
When the battery is discharged. To re-
place the battery, see “—Replacing bat-
tery” on page 30 in this Section.

If the 12 volt battery is discharged, the
hybrid system can be started by jump
starting. Depending on the vehicle con-
dition, however, the hybrid system may
not start.
To avoid serious injury and damage to
your vehicle which might result from an
explosion of the battery, acid burns,
electrical burns, or damaged electronic
components, follow instructions careful-
ly.
If you are unsure about how to follow this
procedure, we strongly recommend that
you seek the help of a competent me-
chanic or towing service.
CAUTION
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when
jump starting, and avoid spilling
acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-
hicle.
If you should accidentally get acid
on yourself or in your eyes, remove
any contaminated clothing and flush
the affected area with water im-
mediately. Then get immediate medi-
cal attention. If possible, continue
to apply water with a sponge or
cloth while en route to the medical
office.
The gas normally produced by a
battery will explode if a flame or
spark is brought near. Use only
standardized jumper cables and do
not smoke or light a match while
jump starting.
NOTICE
The battery used for boosting must
be 12 V. Do not jump start unless you
are sure that the booster battery is
correct.
12 VOLT BATTERY LOCATION
The 12 volt battery is located in the right−
hand side of the trunk. Remove the cover
to access the battery.

CAUTION
Never touch, remove or disassemble
high voltage parts and cables.
Touching, removing or disassem-
bling those parts and cables can
cause severe burns or electric
shock that may result in death or
serious injury. For the locations of
high voltage parts and cables, see
“—High voltage components” on
page 7 in Section 11.
When the hybrid system is on, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from the moving fan. (Removing
rings, watches, and ties is advis-
able.)
Right after driving, the engine
compartment—the engine, radiator,
exhaust manifold and spark plug
boots, etc.—will be hot. So be care-
ful not to touch them. Oil, fluids
and spark plugs may also be hot.
If the radiator is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap or loosen the drain
plugs to prevent burning yourself.
Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper or rags,
in the engine compartment.
When the hybrid system is operat-
ing with the “READY” light on, the
engine may suddenly start in some
cases. When you inspect the engine
compartment, be sure to turn off
the hybrid system.
Do not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Al-
ways use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports.
Be sure that the POWER” switch is
off if you work near the electric
cooling fans or radiator grille. With
the “POWER” switch on, the elec-
tric cooling fans will automatically
start to run if the engine coolant
temperature is high and/or the air
conditioning is on.
Use eye protection whenever you
work on or under your vehicle
where you may be exposed to flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
Brake fluid can harm your hands or
eyes and damage painted surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in
your eyes, flush the affected area
with clean water immediately. If you
still feel uncomfortable with your
hands or eyes, go to the doctor.
Used engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as in-
flammation or skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged
and repeated contact with it. To re-
move used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.
Do not leave used oil within the
reach of children.
Dispose of used oil and filter only
in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ter in household trash, in sewers or
onto the ground. Call your dealer or
a service station for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
Be extremely cautious when work-
ing on the 12 volt battery. It con-
tains poisonous and corrosive
sulfuric acid.

A 12 volt battery is located in the
righthand side of the trunk. Remove
the cover to access the battery.
The battery with a flammable hydrogen
gas exhaust valve is specially desig-
nated for your vehicle. When replacing
the battery, contact your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
The battery produces flammable and
explosive hydrogen gas.
Do not cause a spark from the bat-
tery with tools.
Do not smoke or light a match near
the battery.
When replacing the battery, only
install a battery designated for your
hybrid vehicle. Using a conventional
battery may cause hydrogen gas to
build up in the vehicle.
The electrolyte contains poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin or
clothes.
Never ingest electrolyte.
Wear protective safety glasses when
working near the battery.
Keep children away from the bat-
tery.
EMERGENCY MEASURES
If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush your eyes with clean water
immediately and get immediate
medical attention. If possible, con-
tinue to apply water with a sponge
or cloth while en route to the medi-
cal office.
If electrolyte gets on your skin,
thoroughly wash the contact area. If
you feel pain or burning, get medi-
cal attention immediately.
If electrolyte gets on your clothes,
there is a possibility of its soaking
through to your skin, so immediate-
ly take off the exposed clothing and
follow the procedure above, if nec-
essary.
If you accidentally swallow electro-
lyte, drink a large quantity of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magne-
sia, beaten raw egg or vegetable
oil. Then go immediately for emer-
gency help.

Type A fuses can be pulled out by the
pull−out tool. The location of the pull −out
tool is shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse has
blown, try replacing the suspected fuse
with one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuse
into the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-
ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in an
emergency you can pull out the “RADIO
NO.1” or “PWR OUTLET” fuse, which may
be dispensable for normal driving, and use
it if its amperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amper-
age, use one that is lower, but as close
to the rating as possible. If the amperage
is lower than that specified, the fuse
might blow out again but this does not
indicate anything wrong. Be sure to get
the correct fuse as soon as possible and
return the substitute to its original clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set of
spare fuses and keep them in your ve-
hicle for emergencies. If the new fuse immediately blows out,
there is a problem with the electrical sys-
tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher am-
perage rating, or any other object, in
place of a fuse. This may cause ex-
tensive damage and possibly a fire.
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
are O.K., check the fusible link fitted
on the “+” terminal of the 12 volt bat-
tery. If the link is melted, it must be
replaced.
If there is an overload in the circuits, the
fusible links are designed to melt before
the entire wiring harness is damaged.
The battery is located in the right
−hand
side of the trunk. See “—12 volt battery
location” on page 369 in this Section.
