Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Cruise control system
●Anti-lock brake system
●SRS airbag system
●Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents
There are air intake vents on the
side of the rear right seatback
and on the front corner of the left
rear seat cushion for the purpose
of cooling the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If the vents
become blocked, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) may over-
heat, leading to a reduction in
hybrid battery (traction battery)
output.
Emergency shut off system
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and
stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel
leakage. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will
not restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
■Power sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
●Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI) and supplied by a circuit breaker per your local code.
Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended.
●Use of a block heater for charging is prohibited.
●Do not connect the charging cable to a
multi-outlet adapter, multi-plugs, or con-
version plug.
●Connecting the charging cable to an
extension cord is strictly prohibited. The
extension cord may overheat and does
not contain a Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI).
●Do not connect to a power strip.

NOTICE
■When charging
Do not insert the plug into the charging inlet.
The charging inlet may be damaged.
■After charging
●After disconnecting the charging connector from the charging inlet, make
sure to close the charging port lid.
If the charging port lid is left open, water or foreign objects may enter the
charging inlet, which could lead to vehicle damage.
(The charging port lid does not have a lock. Take care not to press and
open the door accidentally.)
●After removing the plug from the outlet, keep it in a safe place free from
moisture and dust.
The charging cable or plug may be damaged if the cable is stepped on or
ridden over by the vehicle.
■Using private power generators
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charging.
Doing so may make charging unsafe.
■Usable temperature range
●Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
●Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where the outside
temperature is lower than -40 °F (-40 °C). The vehicle or charging cable
will probably be damaged.
