on either side.
●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 also deploy if a seri-ous impact occurs to the underside of
your vehicle. Some examples 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
■Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS front airbags)
The SRS front airbags do not generally
inflate if the vehicle is involved in a side or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal collision.
But, whenever a collision of any type causes sufficient forward deceleration of the vehicle, deployment of the SRS front
airbags may occur.
●Collision from the side
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover
■Types of collisions that may not
deploy the SRS airbags (SRS side and curtain shield airbags and SRS front seat center airbag)
The SRS side and curtain shield airbags and SRS front seat center airbag may not activate if the vehicle is subjected to
a collision from the side at certain angles, or a collision to the side of the vehicle body other than the passenger
compartment.
●Collision from the side to the vehicle
body other than the passenger com- partment
●Collision from the side at an angle
The SRS side airbags and SRS front
seat center airbag do not generally inflate if the vehicle is involved in a fron-tal or rear collision, if it rolls over, or if it
is involved in a low-speed side collision.
●Collision from the front
●Collision from the rear
●Vehicle rollover

5-5. Driving tips
Driving
event that off-road driving cannot
be avoided, please observe the fol-
lowing precautions to help avoid
the areas prohibited to vehicles.
 Drive your vehicle only in areas
where off-road vehicles are per-
mitted to travel.
 Respect private property. Get
owner’s permission before enter-
ing private property.
 Do not enter areas that are
closed. Honor gates, barriers
and signs that restrict travel.
 Stay on established roads. When
conditions are wet, driving tech-
niques should be changed or
travel delayed to prevent dam-
age to roads.
WARNING
■Off-road driving precautions
Always observe the following precau- tions to minimize the risk of death or serious injury or damage to your vehi-
cle:
●Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by
driving in dangerous places.
●Do not grip the steering wheel
spokes when driving off-road. A bad bump could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands
and especially your thumbs on the outside of the rim.
●Always check your brakes for effec-tiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud, water or snow.
●After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, water, etc., check that there is no grass, bush, paper,
rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped to the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the under-
body. If the vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody, a breakdown or
fire could occur.
●When driving off-road or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage
to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis.
NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the traction battery, EV system or other
components does not occur.
●Water entering the motor compart- ment may cause severe damage to
the EV system.
●Water entering the transmission will
cause deterioration in transmission quality. The vehicle may not be driv-able.
●Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting
and premature failure, and may also enter the transmission case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating
qualities.
■When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom
of the riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep water.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Stopping the EV system
Set the parking brake, shift the shift
position to P and press the power switch as you normally do when stopping the EV system.
■Electronic key battery
As the above procedure is a temporary measure, it is recommended that the electronic key battery be replaced
immediately when the battery is depleted. ( P.499)
■Alarm (if equipped)
Using the mechanical key to lock the
doors will not set the alarm system. If a door is unlocked using the mechani-cal key when the alarm system is set,
the alarm may be triggered. ( P. 7 7 )
■Changing power switch modes
Release the brake pedal and press the power switch in step 3 above.
The EV system does not start and modes will be changed each time the switch is pressed. ( P.246)
If you have a set of jumper (or
booster) cables and a second vehi-
cle with a 12-volt battery, you can
jump start your vehicle by following
the steps below.
1 Confirm that the electronic key
is being carried.
When connecting the jumper (or
booster) cables, depending on the situ- ation, the alarm may activate and the doors may lock. ( P.78)
2Open the hood (P.467).
3 Open the positive (+) battery ter-
minal cover.
While pressing on the claw, open the
If the 12-volt batter y is

For details, consult with at any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
WARNING
■When removing the 12-volt bat-tery terminals
Always remove the negative (-) termi-
nal first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts any metal in the surrounding area when the positive (+) terminal is
removed, a spark may occur, leading to a fire in addition to electrical shocks and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-mable gas that may be emitted from
the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal
and that it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+”
terminal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of
the jumper cables to come into con- tact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, ciga-rette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt battery.
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poison- ous and corrosive acidic electrolyte,
while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the follow-ing precautions when handling the
12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt bat- tery, always wear safety glasses
and take care not to allow any bat- tery fluids (acid) to come into con-tact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
●In the event that battery fluid (acid) comes into contact with the skin or
eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after han-dling the 12-volt battery and other
battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the 12-
volt battery.
■When replacing the 12-volt bat-
tery
●When the vent plug is close to the hold down clamp, the battery fluid
(acid) may leak.
●For information regarding battery
replacement, contact any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper cables,
ensure that they do not become entangled in the cooling fan.
