• If electricity needed for EV driv-
ing in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV
mode is not remaining, the oper-
ation mode will be automatically
switched to HV mode.
• The operation mode can be
switched to HV mode at any tim-
ing by operating the switch to
keep electricity for EV driving
etc.
* (P.86). Switching to HV
mode when driving on a highway
or when driving uphill is recom-
mended in order to conserve bat-
tery power.
When in HV mode, the HV drive mode
indicator illuminates.
*: The EV driving range may reduce
even after switching to HV mode.
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge mode (P.87)
Electricity generated in the gasoline
engine can be charged in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) by switch-
ing to the hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode when elec-
tricity needed for EV driving is not
remaining.
*
• The system may not be able to switch to the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode due to
the state of the plug-in hybrid
system. (P.88)
• Charging time differs depending
on the driving state of the vehicle
when driving in hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode.
When in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge mode, the hybrid battery
charge mode indicator illuminates.
*: When in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode, the hybrid bat-
tery can be charged while driving.
However, the gasoline engine runs to
charge the battery and fuel consump-
tion becomes higher compared with
driving in HV mode.
The plug-in hybrid system opera-
tion modes can be switched using
the switches.
■Switching the plug-in hybrid
system operation modes
Press the AUTO EV/HV mode
switch or EV/HV mode selection

be changed even if the AUTO EV/HV
mode switch or EV/HV mode selection switch is pressed. (In this case, the warning message is displayed on the
multi-information display when the switch is pressed.)
●When electricity needed for EV driving is not remaining (when in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode)
●When the traction battery is almost completely charged (hybrid battery
[traction battery] charge mode)
■When switching from EV mode to another mode using the switch
●After switching from EV mode to HV
mode or hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) charge mode and the power
switch is turned off, the system returns to EV mode the next time the
vehicle is started.*
●After switching from EV mode to
AUTO EV/HV mode and the power switch is turned off, the system does not return to EV mode the next time
the vehicle is started.*
*: If there is not enough charge remain-
ing in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) to allow EV driving, the system
switches to HV mode.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
●The following may occur to protect the system, etc.• Cannot switch to hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode or cannot cancel it• Gasoline engine does not start or
stops even after switching to hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
●If a load to the system is large, such as when the power consumption of the air conditioning system is large or
when the temperature of the engine coolant is high, it may take longer time than usual to charge using the hybrid
battery (traction battery) charge mode, or charging to the hybrid bat-tery (traction battery) may not be per-
formed.
■When in EV mode
In EV mode, EV driving (driving
using only the electric motor)* is
possible. However, depending on
the situation, EV driving may be
canceled and both gasoline engine
and electric motor are used
( P.90). Also, if a little electricity is
remaining in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), HV mode is auto-
matically selected. To drive in EV
mode long, observe the followings.
 Avoid sudden acceleration and
sudden deceleration, and be
sure to drive smoothly.
If you repeatedly accelerate, the

WARNING
■When using the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
Observe the following precautions
when using the hybrid battery (trac- tion battery) charge mode while park-ing.
Failure to do so may lead to death or serious health hazard, as the gasoline engine operates when in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) charge mode.
●Do not stop the vehicle near flam-
mable materials.
●Do not use the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode in a closed area where ventilation is insufficient, such as in a garage or
area with snow buildup.

hybrid battery (traction battery)
from an external power source
before using the vehicle.
Even if charging the hybrid battery
(traction battery) has not been com-
pleted, the vehicle can be driven. How-
ever, if there is not enough charge
remaining, it is possible that the vehicle
cannot be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode, or the EV driving range
will become shorter.
■Refilling fuel
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be driven
using electricity charged from an exter- nal power source. However, as the gas-oline engine is used depending on the
situation ( P.90) even if in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode, and the gasoline engine is provided on board as a power
source for driving in HV mode, it is needed to refueling the vehicle.
Check the fuel amount and refill immedi-
ately when the fuel level becomes low. ( P.342)
■If the vehicle is not used for a long time
●The 12-volt battery may discharge. In
this event, charge the 12-volt battery. ( P.606) In order to prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from becoming
extremely low in charge, charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) from external power source or start the
hybrid system at least once every 2 or 3 months, and turn the power switch off after the gasoline engine has
stopped automatically. (If the gasoline engine does not start up even after approximately 10 seconds have
passed since the “READY” indicator came on, the power switch can be turned to off without any further
action.) When the 12-volt battery is dis-charged, refer to “If the 12-volt battery
is discharged” ( P.606) and perform the correction procedure.
●When the vehicle is left with the AC charging cable connected, the elec-tricity consumption amount of the 12-
volt battery increases due to controls, such as the system checking, operat-ing. When the AC charging cable is
not needed, immediately remove it from the vehicle.
When driving with the gasoline
engine stopped, a sound, which
changes in accordance with the
driving speed, will be played in
order to warn people nearby of the
vehicle’s approach. The sound will
stop when the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 25 km/h (15
mph).
■Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
In the following cases, the Acoustic
Vehicle Alerting System may be difficult for surrounding people to hear.

■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 warn-
ing light ( P.575) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid sys-tem may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 8.8 L [2.3 gal., 1.9 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 the hybrid vehicles incorporate electro-magnetic shielding, and therefore emit
approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conven-tional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
■Effect of magnetic forces
If objects that generate strong magnetic
forces, such as large speakers, are placed inside the luggage compartment or installed nearby, the generated mag-
netic forces may negatively affect the hybrid system.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) (lithium-ion battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life.
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
capacity (the ability to hold a charge) reduces with time and use in the same way as other rechargeable batteries.
The extent at which capacity reduces
changes drastically depending on the environment (ambient temperature, etc.)
and usage conditions, such as how the vehicle is driven and how the hybrid bat-tery (traction battery) is charged. This is
a natural characteristic of lithium-ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also, even though the EV driving range
becomes shorter when the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not signifi-
cantly become worse.
In order to reduce the possibility of the capacity reducing, follow the directions
listed on P.134, “Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction battery)”.
■Starting the hybrid system in an extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) is extremely cold (below approxi-mately -30°C [-22°F]) under the
influence of the outside temperature, it may not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the
hybrid system again after the tempera- ture of the hybrid battery increases due to the outside temperature increase etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100 (Battery electric vehicle safety).

WARNING
■High voltage precautions
The 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.

982-1. Plug-in hybrid system
There is an air intake vent under
the rear seat for cooling the DC/DC
converter.
Blocking the air intake vent may
prevent the plug-in hybrid system
from operating properly.
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks
off the high voltage current and
NOTICE
■Notice about fuel
●For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel
may remain in the tank for a long time and undergo changes in qual-ity depending on the how the vehi-
cle is used. Refuel at least 20 L (5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 12 months (refuel a total of at least 20
L [5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 12- month period), as this may affect components of the fuel system or
the gasoline engine.
●If the vehicle has not been refueled
for a certain amount of time and it is possible that the quality of the fuel remaining in the tank has changed,
“No New Fuel has been Added Recently Please refuel” is displayed on the multi-information display
when the power switch is turned to ON. If the message is displayed, refuel the vehicle immediately.

NOTICE
■DC/DC converter air intake vent
●Make sure not to block the air
intake vent with anything, such as a seat cover, plastic cover, or lug-gage. Blocking the air intake vent
may prevent the plug-in hybrid sys- tem from operating properly.
●When dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vent, clean it with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the vent
from clogging.
●Do not wet or allow foreign sub-
stances to enter the air vent as this may cause a short circuit and dam-age the DC/DC converter.
●Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the DC/DC converter, the converter may be damaged. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●A filter is installed to the air intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filter cleaning or replacement is recommended.
When cleaning the filter, refer to P.536.
●If “Maintenance required for DCDC converter cooling parts See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the
multi-information display, the air intake vent and filter may be clogged. Refer to P.536 for informa-
tion on how to clean the air intake vent.
Emergency shut off system

1002-1. Plug-in hybrid system
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift
lever to P when parking. When
using the N, there is no positive
effect on fuel consumption. In the
N, the gasoline engine operates but
electricity cannot be generated.
Also, when using the air condition-
ing system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con-
sumed.
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelera-
tion and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric
motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine
power.
Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (traction
battery) power, resulting in poor
fuel consumption. Battery power
can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly
released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and a timely manner. A greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Repeated acceleration and decel-
eration, as well as long waits at traf-
fic lights, will lead to high fuel and
electricity consumption. Check traf-
fic reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible. When
driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly
while avoiding overuse of the accel-
erator pedal. Doing so can help
control excessive electricity and
fuel consumption.
Control and maintain the vehicle
at a constant speed. Before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar,
allow plenty of time to release
the accelerator and gently apply
the brakes. A greater amount of
electrical energy can be regener-
ated when slowing down.
Electricity consumption will
increase significantly when driv-
ing at high speeds in EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode. If there will
be a long distance to the next
external charging point after
leaving a freeway, it is recom-
mended to drive in HV mode
while on the freeway and change

rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB). If it
is not, have one installed by a
duly qualified professional.
 When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket that is certified for outdoor
use. Checking Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) opera-
tion before its use is recom-
mended.
 Check whether there are any
local EV-charging regulations in
place, and adhere to them.
*: For detailed information, consult an
electrician.
■The charging environment
For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are
recommended.
●Rain-tight socket
When charging outdoors, connect the
plug to a rain-tight socket, and ensure
that the plug remains waterproof while
the plug is connected.
●Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 13A branch circuit with an over-current protection.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, connect to a socket that has a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) installed.
●Remote switch
Allows the electricity from the socket to
be interrupted by operating a switch,
thus allowing safe removal and insertion
of the plug on rainy days.
■When your circuit breaker trips
during charging
The upper limit of the charging current
can be changed in “Vehicle Settings” on
the multi-information display.
