CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle, leading to an accident, or leading to death
or a serious injury.
When installing the driver’s floor mat
Do not use floor mats designed for other models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.
Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
Before driving
Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.
Except hybrid model: With the engine
stopped and the shift lever in P (Multid-
rive) or N (multi-mode manual and man-
ual transmissions), fully depress each
pedal to the floor to make sure it does
not interfere with the floor mat.
Hybrid model: With the hybrid system
stopped and the shift position in P, fully
depress each pedal to the floor to make
sure it does not interfere with the floor
mat.

“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator information
If any of the following problems occur, it is possible that there is a malfunction
in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Neither “ON” nor “OFF” comes on.
The indicator light does not change when the airbag manual on-off switch is
switched to “ON” or “OFF”.
Deactivating the front seat passenger airbag
CAUTION
When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In
the event that the rear seat cannot be used, the front seat can be used as
long as the airbag manual on-off system is set to off. If the airbag manual
on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (infla-
tion) may cause serious injury or even death.
When a child restraint system is not installed on the front passenger
seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off system is set to on.
If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident, which
may result in serious injury or even death.

Adjust the head restraint to the
uppermost position.
If your child restraint system
interferes with a head restraint
and cannot be installed properly,
install the child restraint system
after removing the head
restraint. (P. 211)
If the child restraint has a top strap, remove the luggage cover.
(P. 467)
Latch the buckles onto the exclusive fixing bars.
Hybrid model only: To align
the ISOFIX connectors with
the gap between the seat
cushion and seatback, tem-
porarily put the connectors
on the edge of the seat cush-
ion.
Insert the ISOFIX connectors
into the gap until they latch
onto the exclusive fixing
bars.
If the child restraint has a top strap, the top strap should be latched onto
the anchor bracket.
Run the top strap under the head restraint.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust
gases if inhaled.
CAUTION
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to
an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
Important points while driving
Keep the back door closed.
If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is
closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional as soon as possible.
When parking
Except hybrid model: If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a
closed area, such as a garage, stop the engine.
Hybrid model: If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the hybrid system.
Except hybrid model: Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a
long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
Hybrid model: Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a
long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
Except hybrid model: Do not leave the engine running in an area with
snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the
vehicle while the engine is running, exhaust gases may collect and enter
the vehicle.
Hybrid model: Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with

Hybrid system features (hybrid model)
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different
from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with
the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and
an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving condi-
tions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emis-
sions.

Hybrid system precautions (hybrid model)
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it contains a high
voltage system (about 650 V at maximum) as well as parts that
become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating.
Obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.

If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 12-
volt battery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
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
warning light (P. 602) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to add
to make the low fuel level warning light go out is about 8.1 L [2.2 gal., 1.8 Imp.
gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the
vehicle is on a slope.)
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 conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances.
Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving
style and driving conditions.
Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
