Plug-in hybrid system
■Hybrid battery (traction bat -
tery) warming control (Green -
land only)
This control operates after the AC
charging cable remains connected
to the vehicle for 3 days and “Bat -
tery Heater” autom atically stops. It
automatically insulates the hybrid
battery (traction battery) in
extremely low temperatures.
 This control stops 31 days after
the AC charging cable is con -
nected, even if it is still con -
nected to the vehicle.
 When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts.
■“Battery Cooler”
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is hot and the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehicle,
this function cools the hybrid bat -
tery (traction battery) before
charging is carried out.
“Battery Cooler” will operate when
the “Battery Cooler” of the
“Charging Settings” on the multi-
information di splay is on. (→P.187)
■Traction battery heating and cool-
ing system (“Battery Heater” and “Battery Cooler”)
●The system operates when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is below or
above a certain temperature.
●The system may operate when
charging is not being performed.
●When the charging schedule is used
( →P.144), this function will operate
according to the charging schedule.
■“Battery Heater”
●When “Battery Heat er” is operating,
the charging indi cator illuminates.
●When the AC charging cable is
removed from the v ehicle or remains
connected to the ve hicle for approxi- mately 3 days, t he system automati-
cally stops.
●When “Battery Heat er” is operating
during charging, the charging time
may be longer than normal.
●If the outside temperature becomes
high while “Batter y Heater” is operat- ing, charging may complete earlier
than the “Departure” time set.
( →P.144)
●When the traction battery is almost
completely charged , “Battery Cooler” may not be implemented.
●When the following operations are performed while “Battery Heater” is
operating, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) heating operation stops. • The shift lever is changed to any posi-
tion other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( →P.460)
●“Battery Heater” may operate even when the hybrid battery (traction bat -
tery) is fully charged depending on the
temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
• The remaining charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) decreases when “Battery Heater” operates. The
charging operation may start again to
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat - tery).
• “Charging Stopped Due to Pulled
Charging Connector” may be shown
when the charging connector is removed while recharging. ( →P.160)

■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key onto an
aircraft, make sure you do not press any
buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carry -
ing an electronic key in your bag etc.,
ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a but -
ton may cause the electronic key to emit
radio waves that could interfere with the operation of t he aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years.
●If the battery becom es low, an alarm
will sound in the cabin and a message will be displayed on the multi-informa -
tion display when the hybrid system
stops.
●To reduce key battery depletion when
the electronic key is to not be used for long periods of time, set the electronic
key to the batter y-saving mode.
( →P.225)
●As the electronic key always receives
radio waves, the ba ttery will become depleted even if the electronic key is
not used. The following symptoms
indicate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary.
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not oper -
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller. • The LED indicator on the key surface
does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself
( →P.543). However, as there is a dan-
ger that the electro nic key may be dam-
aged, it is recomm ended that replace-
ment is carried ou t by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not
leave the electronic key within 1 m (3
ft.) of the followi ng electrical appli- ances that produce a magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers • Cellular phones, cordless phones and
battery chargers
• Table lamps • Induction cookers
●If the electronic key is near the vehicle for longer than necessary, even if the
smart entry & star t system is not oper-
ated, the key battery may become depleted faster than normal.
■If a message regarding the state of the electronic key or power switch
mode, etc. is shown
To prevent trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle, leaving the vehicle
carrying the electronic key on your per -
son without turning t he power switch to OFF or other passengers from uninten -
tionally taking the key out of the vehicle,

■If “A New Key has been Registered
Contact Your Dealer for Details” is
displayed on the multi-information display
This message will be displayed each
time the driver’s door is opened when the doors are unlocked from the outside
for approximately 10 days after a new
electronic key has been registered. If this message is displayed but you
have not had a new electronic key regis -
tered, ask any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer to check if an unknown
electronic key (other than those in your possession) has been registered.
The electronic keys are equipped
