2013 TOYOTA RAV4 EV service indicator

34 1-1. EV system
■If a warning light comes on, a warn ing message is displayed, or the 12-
volt battery has been disconnected
The EV system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on electric 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.
■ Traction battery (Lithium-ion battery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability to store energy) 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 traction battery is charged. This is a natural character-
istic of lithium-ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. In order to reduce the
possibility of the capacity decreasing, follow the directions listed on P. 80,
“Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.

■ Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision,
the system is design ed to automatically call the response center.
The responding agent receives th e vehicle’s location and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupant s to assess the level of emer-
gency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent
automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest
emergency services provider to describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent to the location.
