2-1. Electric vehicle system
Electric Vehicle system
12-volt battery
Provides electricity to various vehicle systems such as the SRS airbags, headlights,
wipers, etc.
*: AWD models only
■When braking (regenerative
braking)
The battery electric motor (traction
motor) charges the traction battery.
The driving range can be extended
by actively using this regenerative
braking to store electricity in the
traction battery.
The battery electric vehicle is
driven using electricity, which is
received from an external power
source and stored in the traction
battery. Not only public charging
stations, but also household sock-
ets can be used for charging. Pro-
cedures are different from refueling
a conventional vehicle. Therefore,
make sure to read the following
thoroughly.
 Charging equipment (P.95)
 AC charging cable (P. 9 8 )
 Power sources that can be used
( P.112)
 Things to know before charging
( P.118)
 How to charge your vehicle
( P.121, 129)
 When charging cannot be per-
formed normally ( P.152)
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy
is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
traction battery.
●The accelerator pedal is released
while driving with the shift position in D.
●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The 12-volt battery is charged from the
traction battery when the EV system is operated or while the traction battery is being charged.
If the vehicle has not been used for a long time, the 12-volt battery may become low due to self-discharge. If this
occurs, follow the correct procedures. ( P.544)
■When not using the vehicle for an
extended period of time
●When the vehicle will not be used for
an extended period of time, charge the traction battery once a month. This protects the traction battery from
extreme voltage decline due to self discharging.
●When the vehicle will not be used for an extended period of time, the 12-volt battery will be charged from the
traction battery to reduce the risk of the 12-volt battery discharged. In this case, the cooling fan may operate,
however it is not a malfunction.
●To prevent the 12-volt battery from
being discharged, do not leave the charging port lid open or the charging cable connected to the vehicle.

■Charging the traction battery
Be sure to maintain the traction battery charge level suitable for your driving needs.
If the traction battery fully discharges, the vehicle cannot be driven at all. When the battery becomes low, charge it as
soon as possible.
■If the traction battery becomes low
●If the traction battery becomes low,
the traction battery charge warning light comes on or flashes and a mes-sage will be displayed on the multi-
information display. ( P.517)
●If the traction battery is completely
discharged, the EV system cannot be started and driving will not be possi-ble. When the traction battery
becomes low, charge it as soon as possible.
■Sounds and vibrations specific to an battery electric vehicle
Because there is no engine sound or vibration, it is easy to mistake the bat-tery electric vehicle for being off when it
is actually still running, as indicated by the “READY” indicator being illuminated. For safety, make sure to always shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake when parked.
Before and after the EV system is
started, the following sounds and vibra- tions may occur. However, these sounds and/or vibrations are not signs of mal-
functions:
●The brake system operation sound
may be heard from the front of the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened.
●Motor sounds may be heard from the motor compartment or luggage com-
partment.
●Electrical relay sounds may be heard
from the motor compartment when the EV system starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the traction battery in the following sit-
uations:
• When the EV system is started or stopped• When charging starts or completes
• When the vehicle is driven the first time after the traction battery has been charged using DC charging
●Sounds may be heard due to regener-ative braking when the brake pedal is
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
●Cooling fan operating sounds from the radiator.
●The operation sound of the air condi-tioning system (air conditioning com-pressor, blower motor).
■Maintenance, repair, recycling, and
disposal
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
A sound which changes in accor-
dance with the driving speed, will
be played in order to warn people
nearby of the vehicle’s approach.
This sound may be heard inside the
vehicle. The sound will stop when
the vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 25 km/h (15 mph).
■Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
In the following cases, the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System may be difficult
for surrounding people to hear.
●In very noisy areas
●In the wind or the rain
Also, as the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System is installed on the front of the

2-1. Electric vehicle system
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensors, the
emergency shut off system turns off
the EV system and blocks the high
voltage current. If the emergency
shut off system activates, your vehi-
cle will not restart. To restart the EV
system, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction occurs
in the EV system or an improper
operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the instruc-
tions. ( P.160, 523)
■If a warning light comes on, a warn- ing message is displayed, or the 12-volt battery is disconnected
The EV system may not start.
In that case, try to start the system again. If the “READY” indicator does not
come on, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■When the traction battery is com-
pletely discharged
When the EV system cannot be started due to the traction battery being com-
pletely discharged, restart the system after AC charging or DC charging. When
charging, it is recommended to charge the traction battery until the traction bat-tery charge warning light turns off in
order to ensure sufficient driving dis- tance.
WARNING
●If the vehicle under floor area receives strong shock or impact
while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check around the bottom of the vehicle. If there is
damage to the traction battery or liquid leakage, it may lead to a vehi-cle fire, etc. Do not touch the vehi-
cle and immediately contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Even if no damage can be seen under the floor, the traction battery
may be damaged. If the vehicle received an impact under the floor, have the traction battery inspected
at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modifications
Do not make modifications that lower
the height of the vehicle. The traction battery in the under floor area may come into contact with the ground
when the height of vehicle is lowered. If the traction battery is damaged, a vehicle fire may occur, possibly result-
ing in death or serious injury.

Electric Vehicle system
Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic, etc. Shift the shift
position to P when parking. When
shifting the shift position to N while
driving, there is no positive effect
on electricity consumption. In the N,
the traction battery cannot be
charged. Also, when using the air
conditioning system, etc., the trac-
tion battery electricity is consumed.
( P.248)
Repeated acceleration and decel-
eration due to traffic congestion,
long waits at traffic lights, and driv-
ing on steep inclines will lead to
poor electricity consumption. In
order to avoid those situations as
much as possible, check traffic
reports before leaving. If the vehicle
is driven in traffic congestion, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly,
avoid overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help minimize
unnecessary electricity consump-
tion.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Control and maintain the vehicle at
a constant speed. Before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow
plenty of time to release the accel-
erator and gently apply the brakes.
A greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated when
slowing down.

driving tips
Unlike the conventional vehi-
cles, the electricity consump-
tion efficiency of battery
electric vehicles will decline if
they continue driving on high-
ways (or freeways) or at high
average speeds, causing the
possible driving distance to
reduce. Therefore, if the
remaining charge of the trac-
tion battery is low, avoid rely-
ing on the displayed possible
driving distance too much as
well as driving on highways (or
freeways). Driving the vehicle
at moderate speeds, the trac-
tion battery’s electricity con-
sumption can be controlled.
The following driving tips will
contribute to reduction in the
battery consumption and
increase in the driving range.
