“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator
The main SRS airbag system comp onents are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the airbags
deploy, a chemical reaction in t he inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-
toxic gas to help restrain t he motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc.,
may be sustained from SRS airbags, due to the extrem ely high speed
deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be
emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering
wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator)
as well as the fron t seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side
rails, may be hot for several minutes.
The airbag itself m ay also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped and
fuel supply to t he engine will be
stopped. ( →P.98)
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( →P.206)
●Vehicles with Secondary Collision
Brake: The brakes and stop lights will be controlled au tomatically. (→P.439)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( →P.466)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( →P.560)
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airb ags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds
the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi -
mately 20-30 km/h [12-18 mph] frontal
collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ -
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole,
which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an under -
ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle under -
rides, or goes under , the bed of a
truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is
possible that only the seat belt preten - sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS side and cu rtain shield air-
bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air -
bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold
level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact forc e produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi -
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin
from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 -30 km/h [12 -18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may
also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
■Conditions under which the SRS airbags may deploy (inflate), other
than a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may a lso deploy if a seri-
ous impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some e xamples are shown in the illustration.
●Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard surface
●Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
●Landing hard or falling

eCall*
eCall is a telematics service
that uses Global Navigation
Satellite System (GNSS) data
and embedded cellular tech -
nology to enable the following
emergency calls to be made:
Automatic emergency calls
(Automatic Collision Notifica -
tion) and manual emergency
calls (by pressing the “SOS”
button). This service is
required by European Union
Regulations.

location, the time of the incident
and the vehicle V IN, and attempts
to speak with the vehicle occupants
to assess the situation. If the occu -
pants are unable to communicate,
the operator automatically treats
the call as an emergency and con -
tacts the nearest emergency ser -
vices provider (1 12 system etc.) to
describe the situation and request
that assistance be sent to the loca-
tion.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( →P.67)
■Manual Emergency Calls
In the event of an emergency,
press the “SOS” button to call the
eCall control center.* The answer -
ing operator will determine your
vehicle’s location, assess the situa -
tion, and dispatch the necessary
assistance required.
Make sure to open the cover before
pressing the “SOS” button.
If you accidentally p ress the “SOS” but-
ton, tell the operator that you are not
experiencing an emergency.
*: In some cases, the call cannot be
made. ( →P.67)
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the red indicator light will illumi -
nate for 10 seconds. Then, the
green indicator ligh t will illuminate
for 2 seconds and remain illumi -
nated if the system is functioning
properly.
The indicator lights indicate the fol -
lowing:
 If the green indicator light illumi-
nates and stays on, the system
is enabled.
 If the green indicator light flashes
twice per second, an automatic
or manual Emergency Call is
being made.
 If the red indicator light illumi-
nates at any time other than
immediately after the power
switch is turned to ON, the sys -
tem may be malfunctioning or
the backup battery may be
depleted.
 If the red indicator light blinks for
approximately 30 seconds during
an Emergency Call, the call has
been disconnected or the cellular
network signal is weak.
The service life of t he backup battery
does not exceed 3 years.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may
not be made
●It may not be possible to make
Emergency Calls in any of the fol-
lowing situations. In such cases,
report to emergen cy services pro- vider (112 system etc.) by other
means such as nearby public
phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel -
lular phone service area, it may be
difficult to connec t to the eCall con- trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases,
even though the system attempts to connect to the eCall control center,
you may not be able to connect to
the eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emer -
gency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu -
lar phone service area, the Emer -
gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such
as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting
the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer -
gency Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the sys -
tem makes repeated attempts to
connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor
radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the
cellular network and the call may
finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi -
mately 30 seconds to indicate this
disconnection.
●If the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnec -
tion, the system may not be able to
connect to the eCa ll control center.
■When the Emergency Call sys-
tem is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should
be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■For your safety
●Please drive safely.
The function of t his system is to
assist you in making the Emer - gency Call in case of accidents
such as traffic a ccidents or sudden
medical emergenc ies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers
in any way. Please drive safely and
fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
●In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
●If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the
vehicle and evacuate to a safe area
immediately.
●If the airbags dep loy when the sys-
tem is operating normally, the sys- tem makes emerge ncy call. The
system also makes emergency call
when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over , even if the air-
bags do not deploy.
●For safety, do not make the Emer -
gency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steering
wheel, which may lead to unex -
pected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your su rroundings before
making the Emergency Call.

1002-1. Plug-in hybrid system
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift
lever to P when parking. When
using the N, there is no positive
effect on fuel consumption. In the
N, the gasoline engine operates but
electricity canno t be generated.
Also, when using the air condition -
ing system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con -
sumed.
 Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelera -
tion and deceler ation will make
more effective use of the electric
motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine
power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con -
sumes hybrid battery (traction
battery) power, resulting in poor
fuel consumption. Battery power
can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly
released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and a ti mely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Repeated acceler ation and decel-
eration, as well as long waits at traf -
fic lights, will lead to high fuel and
electricity consumption. Check traf -
fic reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible. When
driving in a traffic jam, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly
while avoiding overuse of the accel -
erator pedal. Doing so can help
control excessive electricity and
fuel consumption.
 Control and maintain the vehicle
at a constant speed. Before stop -
ping at a toll booth or similar,
allow plenty of time to release
the accelerator and gently apply
the brakes. A greater amount of
electrical energy can be regener -
ated when slowing down.
 Electricity consumption will
increase significantly when driv -
ing at high speeds in EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode. If there will
be a long distance to the next
external charging point after
leaving a freewa y, it is recom-
mended to drive in HV mode
while on the freeway and change
