WARNING
■When a child is riding
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seat belt or child restraint system
which is correctly installed. For inst allation details, refer to the operation
manual enclosed with the child restraint system. General installation
instruction is provided in this manual.
● Toyota strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that con-
forms to the weight and size of the child, installed on the rear seat. Accord-
ing to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the
rear seat than in the front seat.
● Holding a child in your or someone else’s arms is not a substitute for a
child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be crushed against the
windshield or between the holder and the interior of the vehicle.
■ Handling the child restraint system
If the child restraint system is not properly fixed in place, the child or other
passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden
braking, sudden swerving, or an accident.
● If the vehicle were to receive a strong impact from an accident, etc., it is
possible that the child restraint system has damage that is not readily visi-
ble. In such cases, do not reuse the restraint system.
● Depending on the child restraint system, installation may be difficult or
impossible. In those cases, check whether the child restraint system is
suitable for installment in the vehicle. ( P. 62, 68) Be sure to install and
observe the usage rules after carefully reading the child restraint system
fixing method in this manual, as well as the operation manual enclosed
with the child restraint system.
● Keep the child restraint system properly secured on the seat even if it is
not in use. Do not store the child restraint system unsecured in the pas-
senger compartment.
● If it is necessary to detach the child restraint system, remove it from the
vehicle or store it securely in the luggage compartment.

■Mass group (ECE R44 only)
This Mass group table is required when confirming the child
restraint system compatibility. Confirm in accordance with the child
restraint system compatibility table. ( P. 62,69).
The child restraint system which conforms to the standard of ECE
R44 is categorized into 5 groups according to the weight of the
child.
*: The age range is a standard approximation. Choose according to the
weight of the child.
Mass groupChild weightReference age*
Group 0until 10 kg (22 lb.)about 9 months
Group 0+until 13 kg (28 lb.)about 1.5 years
Group I9 - 18 kg
(20 to 39 lb.)from 9 months - about 4 years
Group II15 - 25 kg
(34 to 55 lb.)from 3 years - about 7 years

◆Confirming the possible installation seating positions and the
Mass Group for the seat belt installation type child restraint
systems.
Confirm the corresponding [Mass group] from the weight of the
child ( P. 57)
(Ex. 1) When the weight is 12 kg, [Mass group 0+]
(Ex. 2) When the weight is 15 kg, [Mass group I]
Confirm and select the appropriate possible seating position for
the child restraint system and the corresponding type of system
from the [Child restraint systems fastened with SEAT BELT -
Compatibility and Recommended child restraint systems table].
( P. 6 2 )
◆Child restraint systems fastened with SEAT BELT - Compatibil-
ity and Recommended child restraint systems table
If your child restraint system is of “universal” category, you can
install it on the positions mentioned by U or UF in the table below
(UF is for forward-facing child restraint systems only). Child
restraint systems category and mass group can be found in the
child restraint system manual.
If your child restraint system is not of the “universal” category (or if
you cannot find information in the table below), please refer to the
child restraint system “vehicle list” for compatibility information or
ask the retailer of your child seat.

■ISOFIX rigid anchors (ISOFIX child restraint system)
Lower anchors are provided for
each rear seat. (Marks display-
ing the location of the anchors
are attached to the seats.)
■Confirming the Mass group and Size class for ECE R44 ISOFIX
corresponding child restraint systems
Confirm the corresponding [Mass group] from the weight of the
child ( P. 57)
(Ex. 1) When the weight is 12 kg, [Mass group 0+]
(Ex. 2) When the weight is 15 kg, [Mass group I]
Confirming Size class
Select the Size class corresponding to [Mass group] confirmed in
step from the [Child restraint systems fastened with ISOFIX
(ECE R44) - Compatibility and Recommended child restraint sys-
tems table] ( P. 69)*.
(Ex. 1) When [Mass group 0+], the corresponding size class is
[C], [D], [E].

The distance that can be driven in EV mode varies significantly
depending on how the vehicle is driven, road conditions, the weather,
the outside temperature, usage conditions of electrical components
and the number of occupants.
The distance that can be driven in EV mode can be extended if the fol-
lowing is performed:
●Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front and avoid unnec-
essary acceleration and deceleration
●Accelerate and decelerate the vehicle as smoothly as possible
●Drive at moderate speeds as much as possible and maintain a con-
stant speed
●
Set the air conditioning to a moderate temperature and turn the “A/C”
switch ( ) off when it is not needed
●Use tires of the specified size and maintain the specified tire pres-
sure
●Use the EV/HV mode selection switch to drive in HV mode when
driving on a highway
Electricity consumption will increase substantially when driving on a
highway in EV mode.
●Do not add unnecessary weight to the vehicle
The following indicate that charging has been carried out properly.
●The charging indicator turns off
●The Hybrid battery (traction battery) status indicators illuminate for
approximately 15 seconds. (P. 123)
●“Charging Complete” is displayed on the multi-information display
when starting off (P. 154)
Regardless of the type of power source or whether the charging timer
function is used, charging is completed if the above can be confirmed.

Maintenance and care
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valves and transmitters to detect low tire infla-
tion pressure before serious problems arise.
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the driver is
warned by a warning light. (P. 675)
◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing tires or wheels, tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be installed.
When new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. Have tire pressure warning valve and transmitter ID
codes registered by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer. (P. 609)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
●When rotating front and rear tires which have different tire infla-
tion pressures
●When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load weight
When the tire pressure warning system is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
