WARNING
■Things that must not be carried in the trunk
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the trunk:
●Receptacles containing gasoline
●Aerosol cans
■Storage precautions
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed pr operly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting t he driver or
passengers, possibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the trunk whenever possible.
●To prevent cargo and luggage from sliding forward during brakin g, do
not stack anything in the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo and luggag e low,
as close to the floor as possible.
●Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver

●Never allow anyone to ride in the enlarged trunk. It is not designed for
passengers. They should ride in their seats with their seat bel ts prop-
erly fastened.
■Capacity and distribution
●Do not exceed the maximum axle weight rating or the total vehic le
weight rating.
●Even if the total load of occupant's weight and the cargo load is less
than the total load capacity, d o not apply the load unevenly. I mproper
loading may cause deterioration of steering or braking control which
may cause death or serious injury.

Driving
■Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minut es or ON
mode (with the hybrid system not operating) for more than an ho ur with the
shift lever in P, the power switch will automatically turn off. However, this func-
tion cannot entirely prevent 12-volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehi-
cle with the power switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long peri ods of
time when the hybrid system is not operating.
■ Sounds and vibrations sp ecific to a hybrid vehicle
P. 82
■ Electronic key battery depletion
P. 152
■ When the ambient temperature is low, such as during winter driv ing con-
ditions
● When starting the hybrid system, the flashing time of the “READY” indicator
may be long. Leave the vehicle as it is until the “READY” indic ator is steady
on, as steady means the vehicle is able to move.
● AXVH70 model vehicles
*: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
extremely cold (below approximately -22°F [-30°C]) under the in fluence of
the outside temperature, it may not be possible to start the hybrid system. In
this case, try to start the hybrid system again after the tempe rature of the
hybrid battery increases due to the outside temperature increas e etc.
*: The model code is indicated on the Certification Label. (P. 523)
■ Conditions affecting operation
P. 167
■ Notes for the entry function
P. 168
■ If the hybrid system does not start
●The immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. ( P. 90)
Contact your Toyota dealer.
● Check that the shift lever is securely set in P. The hybrid sys tem may not
start if the shift lever is displaced out of P.
● If a message related to start-up is shown on the multi-informat ion display,
read the message and follow the instructions.
■ Steering lock
After turning the power switch off and opening and closing the doors, the
steering wheel will be locked due to the steering lock function . Operating the
power switch again automatically cancels the steering lock.

2334-3. Operating the lights and wipers

Driving
AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) secures excellent visibili ty at
intersections and on curves by automatically adjusting the dire ction of
the light axis of the headlights according to vehicle speed and the
degree of the tire’s angle as controlled by steering input.
AFS operates at speeds of 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher.
■Daytime running light system
●Type A:
The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the headlights
and illuminate darker than the headlights.
Type B:
The daytime running lights illuminate using the same lights as the parking
lights and illuminate brighter than the parking lights.
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers during dayti me driving,
the daytime running lights turn on automatically when all of the following
conditions are met. (The daytime running lights are not designe d for use at
night.)
• The hybrid system is operating
• The parking brake is released
• The headlight switch is in the (Canada only), or
* posi-
tion
*: When the surroundings are bright
The daytime running lights remain on after they illuminate, even if the parking
brake is set again.
● For U.S.A.: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operati ng the switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running ligh t system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help improve
fuel economy.
■ Headlight control sensor
AFS (Adaptive Front-light ing System) (if equipped)
The sensor may not function properly if an
object is placed on the sensor, or anything
that blocks the sensor is affixed to the
windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

2444-4. Refueling
WARNING
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing f rom the fuel
tank:
● Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically click s off.
● Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
● Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes pas ses, the
internal valve closes. In this condition, fuel may overflow dur ing the refuel-
ing process.
Press the fuel filler door opener switch again.
● Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission c ontrol
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.
● When refueling your vehicle, make sure
that the fuel filler door lock is not
pushed by the fuel nozzle boot, etc., as
this may cause a valve to close, possi-
bly resulting in a fuel spill.
If the fuel filler door lock has been
pushed, operate the fuel filler door
opener switch in the vehicle before con-
tinuing to refuel.

2464-4. Refueling
■If the fuel filler door cannot be opened
■ When “Check Fuel Cap” is displayed on the multi-information display
The fuel tank cap may be unfastened or loose. Turn the power sw itch off,
check the cap and tighten it securely. If the message remains, wait a few sec-
onds and then turn the power switch off once again. ● Remove the cover inside the trunk and
pull the lever.
● Using the lever to open the fuel filler
door may not allow for an adequate
reduction in fuel tank pressure before
refueling. To prevent fuel from spilling
out, turn the cap slowly when removing
it.
During refueling, fuel may spill out from
the filler opening due to air being dis-
charged from inside the fuel tank. There-
fore, fill the fuel tank carefully and slowly.
WARNING
■When replacing the fuel tank cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.
