WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions
regarding the SRS airbags. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the seat belts.
●The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the air-bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of inflation, placing yourself 250
mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag provides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measured
from the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10 in.) away
now, you can change your driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reaching the ped-als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle designs vary, many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the driver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to see the road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec- ommended above, while still main-
taining control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view of the instrument panel controls.
●The SRS front passenger airbag also deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or seri- ous injury especially if the front pas-senger is very close to the airbag.
The front passenger seat should be as far from the airbag as possible with the seatback adjusted, so the
front passenger sits upright.
●Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or seriously injured by a deploying air-bag. An infant or child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be properly secured using a child restraint system. Toyota strongly
recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat. ( P. 4 9 )

■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

■Electromagnetic waves
●High-voltage parts and cables on the battery electric vehicles incorporate electro-magnetic shielding, and there-
fore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehi-
cles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
■Traction battery (Lithium-ion bat-tery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability
to store energy) reduces with time and use in the same way as other recharge-able batteries. The extent at which
capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside temperature, etc.) and usage conditions,
such as how the vehicle is driven and how the traction battery is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-
ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also, even though the driving range decreases when the traction battery
capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse. In order to reduce the possibility of the
capacity reducing, follow the directions listed on P.119, “Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.
■Starting the EV system in an
extremely cold environment
When the traction battery is extremely cold (below approximately -30°C [-
22°F]) due to the temperature outside of
the vehicle, it may not be possible to start the EV system. In this case, try to
start the EV system again after the tem- perature of the traction battery increases due to the outside temperature increas-
ing, etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High-voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-tem.
DC and AC high voltage systems are very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that
may result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high voltage parts,
cables (orange) or their connectors.
●The EV system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture, and always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.
