Event data recorder
Your vehicle has computers that monitor and control cer-
tain aspects of your vehicle. These computers assist in
driving and maintaining optimal vehicle performance. Be-
sides storing data useful for troubleshooting, there is a
system 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 may record
some or all of the following 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 classification
SRS airbag deployment data
 SRS airbag system diagnostic data
If your vehicle is equipped with a vehicle stability control
(VSC) system, its Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may con-
tain another EDR. There are a variety of driving situations
which include activating the VSC under which the VSC
EDR will record certain information. The VSC EDR may
record some or all of the following information:
 Behavior of the vehicle
 Steering wheel angle
 Vehicle speed
 To what extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
 To what extent the brake pedal was applied
 To what extent the ECU controlled the condition of
the 4 wheels
 Vehicle stability control system diagnostic data
The information above is intended to be used for the
purpose of improving vehicle safety performance. Unlike
general data recorders, the EDR does not record sound
data such as conversation between passengers.

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.

The smart key system consists mainly
of the following functions.
Engine immobilizer function (For de-
tails, see “Engine immobilizer system”
on page 24 in this Section.)
Wireless remote control function (For
details, see “Wireless remote control”
on page 25 in this Section.)
Push button start function (For details,
see “How to start the hybrid system”
on page 301 in Section 3.)

CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators should
maintain a reasonable distance be-
tween themselves and the smart
key system antennas, because the
radio waves may affect the opera-
tion of such devices. For the anten-
na locations see “ANTENNA LOCA-
TION” on page 34 in this Section.
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
If necessary, the entry function can
be disabled. See “DISABLING THE
SMART KEY SYSTEM” on page 38
in this Section.

ENTRY FUNCTION AND START
FUNCTION
Simply by carrying the key, you can
lock and unlock the doors and start the
hybrid system.
Entry function—You can lock and unlock
the doors and open the trunk without in-
serting the key in the keyholes. For fur-
ther information, see “Side doors” on page
38 and “Trunk lid” on page 47 in this
Section.
Start function— You can shift the power
supply mode and start the hybrid system
when the electronic key is in the vehicle.
For further information, see “‘POWER’
switch” on page 160 in Section 1 −7 and
“How to start the hybrid system” on page
301 in Section 3.
If the smart key system does not oper-
ate properly because of a system mal-
function, consult your Toyota dealer.
Make sure to bring all of the keys. They
may be necessary to repair the system. STEERING LOCK FUNCTION
When the driver ’s door is opened after
turning off the hybrid system, the steering
wheel will lock.
The steering lock is automatically un-
locked when the “POWER” switch is
pressed. If the indicator light on the
“POWER” switch flashes green, this indi-
cates that the steering wheel remains
locked. If the amber indicator light flashes,
this indicates that the steering lock is mal-
functioning. For details, see “How to start
the hybrid system” on page 301 in Section
3.
