on the hybrid vehicles emit
approximately the same amount
of electromagnetic waves as the
conventional gasoline powered
vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite of their elec-
tromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in
the reception of the mobile two-
way radio.
The vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that will
record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed/ Electric motor speed (traction motor speed)

■Exposure to radio fre-
quency signals
The Safety Connect system
installed in your vehicle is a low-
power radio transmitter and
receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by the following U.S. and
international standards bodies.
 ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) C95.1
[1992]
 NCRP (National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]
 ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel
and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel th e vehicle with at
least enough gasoline to make the
low fuel level warning light ( P.518)
go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, th e hybrid system
may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 2.3 gal.
[8.8 L, 1.9 Imp.gal.], when the vehi-
cle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a
slope. Add extra fuel when the vehi-
cle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
the hybrid vehicles incorporate
electromagnetic shielding, and
therefore emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic
waves as conventional gasoline
powered vehicles or home elec-
tronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in so me third party-
produced radio parts.
■Effect of magnetic forces
If objects that generate strong mag-
netic forces, such as large speak-
ers, are placed inside the luggage
compartment or installed nearby,
the generated magnetic forces may
negatively affect t he hybrid system.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
(lithium-ion battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
has a limited service life.
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
capacity (the ability to hold a
charge) reduces with time and use
in the same way as other recharge-
able batteries. The extent at which capacity reduces changes drasti-
cally depending on the environment
(ambient temperature, etc.) and
usage conditions, such as how the
vehicle is driven and how the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of
lithium-ion batteries, and is not a
malfunction. Also, even though the
EV driving range becomes shorter
when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) capacity reduces, vehicle
performance does not significantly
become worse.
In order to reduce t
he possibility of
the capacity reducing, follow the
directions listed on P.121, “Capacity
reduction of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery)”.
■Starting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is extremely cold (below
approximately -22°F [-30°C]) under
the influence of the outside tem-
perature, it may n ot be possible to
start the hybrid system. In this case,
try to start the hybrid system again
after the temperature of the hybrid
battery increases due to the outside
temperature increase etc.

WARNING
■High voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC
and AC systems as well as a 12-
volt system. DC and AC high volt-
age is very dangerous and can
cause severe burns and electric
shock that may result in death or
serious injury.

supervision. Also, keep the
AC charging cable out of
reach of infants.
 When charging with a char-
ger, follow the procedures for
using each charger.
 When charging using a public
charging facility, check the
setting of the charging sched-
ule function.
• When the charging schedule is
registered, temporarily turn off
the function or turn “Charge Now”
on. ( P.137, 142)
• When the charging schedule is set to on, charg ing will not start
even if the AC charging cable is
connected. Also, charging fee
may occur due to connection of
the AC charging cable.
Before charging, always check
the following items.
 The parking brake is applied.
( P.290)
 Lights such as the head-
lights, emergency flashers
and interior lights etc. are
turned off.
If these light switches are turned
on, then th ese features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time
will increase.
 The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.283) Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging
cable is in good condition.
(
P.106)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may
differ depending on the state of
the vehicle, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from near the rear seat. ( P.91)
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in accordance
with the operation of the air condi-
tioning system or “Battery Cooler”
( P.116).
●During and after charging, the rear
seat and its surrounding area in
which the onboard traction battery
charger is installed may get warm.
●The surface of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) may become hot, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Depending on radio wave condi-
tions, interference may be heard
on the radio.
●The current charging condition
and the estimated time until
charging will complete can be
checked on the mu lti-information
display.
■Capacity reduction of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
The capacity of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) will decline gradu-
ally when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is in use. The rate at which
it declines will diff er in accordance
with environmental conditions and
the way in which the vehicle is used.

■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key
onto an aircraft, make sure you do
not press any buttons on the elec-
tronic key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying an elec-
tronic key in your bag etc., ensure
that the buttons are not likely to be
pressed accidentally. Pressing a
button may cause the electronic key
to emit radio waves that could inter-
fere with the oper ation of the air-
craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years.
●If the battery becomes low, an
alarm will sound in the cabin and a
message will be dis played on the
multi-information 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 bat-
tery-saving mode. (
P.218)
●As the electronic key always
receives radio waves, the battery
will become depleted even if the
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the
electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary.
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote contro l does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur- face does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by your-
self ( P.493). However, as there is
a danger that the electronic key may
be damaged, it is recommended
that replacement is carried out by
your Toyota dealer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do
not leave the electronic key within
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances 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 key system is not
operated, the key battery may
become depleted faster than nor-
mal.
