The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle co uld affect elec- 
tronic systems such as: 
● Hybrid system 
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system 
● Toyota Safety Sense (if equipped) 
● Cruise control system (if equipped) 
● Anti-lock brake system 
● SRS airbag system 
● Seat belt pretensioner system 
Be  sure  to  check  with  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized 
repairer,  or  any  reliable  repairer  for  precautionary  measures  o r  special 
instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system . 
Further  information  regarding  frequency  bands,  power  levels,  an tenna  posi- 
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-tr ansmitters, is avail- 
able  on  request  at  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  aut horized 
repairer, or any r eliable repairer. 
High  voltage  parts  and  cables  on  the  Hybrid  Electric  Vehicles  e mit  approxi- 
mately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventi onal gaso- 
line  powered  vehicles  or  home  electronic  appliances  despite  of  their 
electromagnetic shielding. 
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the radio frequenc y transmitter 
(RF-transmitter).

Hybrid system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the 
actual item.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high volt - 
age  system  (about  600  V*1  or  650  V*2  at  maximum)  as  well  as 
contains parts  that  become extremely  hot when  the  hybrid  sys- 
tem  is  operating.  Obey  the  warning  labels  attached  to  the  vehi-
cle.

■If  a  warning  light  comes  on,  a  warning  message  is  displayed,  or the 
12-volt battery is disconnected 
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the  system again. If 
the  “READY”  indicator  does  not  come  on,  contact  any  authorized  To y o t a 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r. 
■ Running out of fuel 
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cann ot be started, 
refuel  the  vehicle  with  at  leas t  enough  gasoline  to  make  the  low  fuel  level 
warning  light  ( P.  685)  go  off.  If  there  is  only  a  small  amount  of  fuel,  the 
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of  fuel is about 
7.5 L [2.0 gal., 1.7 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level  surface. This value 
may  vary  when  the  vehicle  is  on  a  slope. Add  extra  fuel  when  th e  vehicle  is 
inclined.) 
■ Electromagnetic waves 
● High  voltage parts  and cables on Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorporate  elec- 
tromagnetic  shielding,  and  therefore  emit  approximately  the  sam e  amount 
of  electromagnetic  waves  as  conventional  gasoline  powered  vehic les  or 
home electronic appliances. 
● Your  vehicle  may  cause  sound  interference  in  some  third  party-produced 
radio parts. 
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) 
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service lif e. The lifespan of 
the  hybrid  battery  (traction  battery)  can  change  in  accordance  with  driving 
style and driving conditions. 
■ Declaration of conformity 
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulati on ECE100 
(Battery electric vehicle safety).

■ Ending display 
When  the  power  switch  is  turned  off,  each  of  the  following  will   be  displayed 
on  the  multi-information  display,  and  will  extinguish  after  app roximately  30 
seconds. 
● Elapsed time/EV drive time ratio 
● Distance 
● Average fuel consumption
WARNING
■Cautions during setting up the display 
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display , ensure that 
the vehicle is  parked  in a  place with  adequate ventilation. In  a  closed  area 
such as a garage,  exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxi de (CO) 
may  collect  and  enter  the  vehicle.  This  may  lead  to  death  or  a  serious 
health hazard.
NOTICE
■ During setting up the display 
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid sy stem is oper- 
ating while setting up the display features.

If  the  hybrid  system  is  stopped  with  the  shift  lever  in  a  position  other 
than P, the power switch will not be turned off but instead be  turned to 
ACCESSORY  mode.  Perform  the  following  procedure  to  turn  the 
switch off: 
Check that the parking brake is set. 
Shift the shift lever to P. 
Check  that  “ACCESSORY”  and  “Turn  power  OFF.”  are  displayed 
on  the  multi-information  display  and  then  press  the  power  switc h 
once. 
Check  that  “ACCESSORY”  and  “Turn  power  OFF.”  on  the  multi- 
information display is off.
■ Auto power off function 
If  the  vehicle  is  left  in ACCESSORY  mode  for  more  than  20  minut es  or  ON 
mode (the hybrid system is not  operating) for more than an hour with the shift 
lever  in  P,  the power  switch  will automatically turn  off. Howev er, this function 
cannot entirely prevent the 12-volt battery discharge. Do not l eave the vehicle 
with  the  power  switch  in ACCESSO RY  or  ON  mode  for  long  periods of  time 
when the hybrid system is not operating.

NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge 
● Do not leave the power switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long peri- 
ods of time without the hybrid system on. 
● If “ACCESSORY” or “IGNITION ON” is displayed on the multi-information 
display  while  the  hybrid  system  is  not  operating,  the  power  swi tch  is  not 
off. Exit the vehicle after turning the power switch off. 
● Do  not  stop  the  hybrid  system  when  the  shift  lever  is  in  a  position  other 
than  P.  If  the  hybrid  system  is  stopped  in  another  shift  lever  position,  the 
power switch will not be turned off but instead be  turned to AC CESSORY 
mode.  If  the  vehicle  is  left  in  ACCESSORY  mode,  12-volt  battery  dis- 
charge may occur. 
■ When starting the hybrid system 
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have your vehi cle checked by 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  authorized repairer, o r any reliable 
repairer immediately. 
■ Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the power switch 
If the power switch seems to be operating somewhat differently  than usual, 
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunctio n. Contact any 
authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  repairer,  or  an y  reliable 
repairer immediately.

■ Automatic headlight leveling system (vehicles without manual headlight 
leveling dial) 
The level of the headlights is automatically adjusted according  to the number 
of  passengers  and  the  loading  condition  of  the  vehicle  to  ensur e  that  the 
headlights do not interfere with other road users. 
■ 12-volt battery-saving function 
In the following conditions, the remaining lights will go off a utomatically after 
20  minutes  in  order  to  prevent  the  vehicle  12-volt  battery  from   being  dis- 
charged: 
● The headlights and/or tail lights are on. 
● The power switch is turned to ACCESSORY mode or turned off. 
● The light switch is in   or  . 
This function will be canceled in any of the following situatio ns: 
● When the power switch is turned to ON mode. 
● When the light switch is operated. 
● When a door is opened or closed. 
■ If  “Headlight  System  Malfunction  Visit  Your  Dealer”  is  displayed  on  the 
multi-information display 
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by  any autho- 
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any rel iable repairer. 
■ Customization 
Settings (e.g. light sensor sensitivity) can be changed.  
(Customizable features:  P. 781)
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge 
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the hybri d system is 
off.
