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.

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.
