■Automatic car washes
● Fold the mirrors and remove the antenna before washing the vehicle. Start
washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to re-install the antenna
and extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
● Rear spoiler (if equipped) may not be washable in some automatic car
washes. There may also be an increased risk of damage to vehicle.
■ High pressure car washes
● Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of
the windows and door borders, and high mounted stoplight.
● Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
■ When using a car wash (vehicles with a smart entry & start system
equipped with entry function)
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position
2 m (6 ft.) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being
washed. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
■ Aluminum wheels (if equipped)
● Remove any dirt immediately by using a neutral detergent.
● Wash detergent off with water immediately after use.
● To protect the paint from damage, make sure to observe the following pre-
cautions.
• Do not use acidic, alkaline or abrasive detergent
• Do not use hard brushes
• Do not use detergent on the wheels when they are hot, such as after driv-
ing or parking in hot weather

If the shift lever is shifted to N
After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
Stop the hybrid system.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted to N
Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce vehicle
speed as much as possible.

■If “Hybrid system overheated. Reduced output power.” is
shown
This message may be shown when driving under severe operating
conditions. (For example, when driving up a long steep hill.)
Handling method: P. 581
■If “Hybrid battery low. Hybrid system stopped. Shift to P and
restart.” is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is low, because vehicle has been shifted to
N for a long period of time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to P and restart the hybrid system.
■If “Hybrid battery low. Shift out of N to recharge.” is shown
Message is displayed when the remaining charge for the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is low.
As the hybrid battery (traction battery) cannot be charged when the
shift lever is in N, when stopped for long periods of time shift the
shift lever to P.
■If “Shift is in N. Release accelerator before shifting.” is shown
Message is displayed when the accelerator pedal has been
depressed and the shift lever is in N.
Release the accelerator pedal and shift the shift lever to D or R.
■If “Auto power off to conserve battery” is shown
The power switch has been turned off by the automatic power off
function.
When starting the hybrid system next time, operate the hybrid sys-
tem for approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery

Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fan operates and to check for
coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air condi tioning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by checking the
fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air condi-
tioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fan may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fan is not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Start the hybrid system and check for the hybrid system overheat
warning light (with monochrome display) or warning message
(with color display).
If the warning light (with monochrome display) or warning mes-
sage (with color display) does not go off:
Stop the hybrid system and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
If the warning light (with monochrome display) or warning mes-
sage (with color display) goes off:

WARNING
■ To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus-
ing serious injuries such as burns.
● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the indicator on the
power switch and the “READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati-
cally start, or the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if the gasoline
engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fan,
which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia-
tor are hot.
Serious injuries, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam
released under pressure.
