When trouble arises
WARNING
QDriving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of acciden ts.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and ca use death or
serious injury.
O Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
O If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
QWhen performing an emergency repair
O A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw pa ssing
through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the obje ct may
widen the opening and disenable em ergency repair with the repair kit.
O The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
O Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a mal function may
occur.
O Make sure the sealant bottle of the repair kit is in a vertical position. The
repair kit does not operate properly when it is laid.
Q Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
O The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
O If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care
not to allow fuel to contact it.
O Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
water.
O Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
O Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunc tion.

Q When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery
O In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart
entry & start system when the 12-volt battery is discharged. Us e the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock or unlock the doors.
O The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt battery
has recharged but will start normally after the second attempt. This is not a
malfunction.
O It may be impossible to unlock the charging port lid or locking and unlocking
the charging connector immediately after the 12-volt battery is reconnected.
In this case, carry the electronic key on your person and opera te the
charging port lid or charging connector lock switch again.
O The power switch mode is memorized by the vehicle. When the 12-volt bat-
tery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the
12-volt battery was discharged. Before disconnecting the 12-vol t battery,
turn the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the power switch was in before the 12-volt bat-
tery discharged, be especially careful when reconnecting the 12 -volt battery.
O If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not be
possible to shift the shift position to other positions. In thi s case, the vehicle
cannot be towed without lifting both front wheels because the f ront wheels
will be locked. ( P. 650)
Q When replacing the 12-volt battery
O Use a 12-volt battery that conforms to European regulations.
O Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same as the previous one (LN1),
20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent (45Ah) or greater, a nd perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent (295A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly se cured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period w here the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discha rge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
O For details, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

After stopping the hybrid system and waiting for 5 minutes or
more, start the hybrid system again and check if “Hybrid System
Overheated” is shown on the multi-information display.

retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.
If the message is not displayed:
The hybrid system temperature has dropped and the vehicle may
be driven normally.

WARNING
Q To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
O If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
O After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “Accessory”,
“Ignition ON” or mileage display ( P. 213) on the main display and the
“READY” indicator are off.
When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may au tomati-
cally start, or the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if t he gasoline
engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as t he fan,
which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scar f or a muffler)
getting caught, resulting in serious injury.
O Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps while the hybrid system and radi-
ator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
