WARNING
ODo not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the
SRS side airbags from activating correctly, disable the system or cause the SRS side airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
ODo not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the
front doors. Doing so can cause the SRS air-bags to malfunction.
ODo not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
OIf breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow
fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.
OIf the areas where the SRS airbags
are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
QModification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifica- tions without consulting any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota

WARNING
QWhen the Emergency Call may
not be made
OIt may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-
lowing situations. In such cases, report to emergency services pro-vider (112 system etc.) by other
means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to connect to the eCall control center,
you may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emer-
gency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the sys-
tem makes repeated attempts to connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the
cellular network and the call may finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi-
mately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
OIf the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnec-tion, the system may not be able to
connect to the eCall control center.
QWhen the Emergency Call sys-
tem is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
QFor your safety
OPlease drive safely.The function of this system is to
assist you in making the Emer- gency Call in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden
medical emergencies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any way. Please drive safely and
fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
OIn case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
OIf you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle and evacuate to a safe area
immediately.
OIf the airbags deploy when the sys-
tem is operating normally, the sys- tem makes emergency call. The system also makes emergency call
when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over, even if the air-bags do not deploy.
OFor safety, do not make the Emer-gency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steering wheel, which may lead to unex-
pected accidents. Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before
making the Emergency Call.

QRunning out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and
the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warn-
ing light ( P.515) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid sys-tem may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 8.8 L [2.3 gal., 1.9 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 the vehicle is inclined.)
QElectromagnetic waves
OHigh voltage parts and cables on the Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles incor-porate electromagnetic shielding, and
therefore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances.
OYour vehicle may cause sound inter-ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
QEffect of magnetic forces
If objects that generate strong magnetic forces, such as large speakers, are placed inside the luggage compartment
or installed nearby, the generated mag- netic forces may negatively affect the hybrid system.
QHybrid battery (traction battery)
(lithium-ion battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity (the ability to hold a charge) reduces with time and use in the same
way as other rechargeable batteries.
The extent at which capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the
environment (ambient temperature, etc.) and usage conditions, such as how the vehicle is driven and how the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is charged. This is a natural characteristic of lithium-ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also,
even though the EV driving range becomes shorter when the hybrid bat-tery (traction battery) capacity reduces,
vehicle performance does not signifi- cantly become worse.
In order to reduce the possibility of the
capacity reducing, follow the directions listed on P.133, “Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction battery)”.
QStarting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) is extremely cold (below approxi-
mately -30°C [-22°F]) under the influence of the outside temperature, it may not be possible to start the hybrid
system. In this case, try to start the hybrid system again after the tempera-ture of the hybrid battery increases due
to the outside temperature increase etc.
QDeclaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).

WARNING
QHigh voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-tem. DC and AC high voltage is very
dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury.

Plug-in hybrid system
each part of the AC charging cable
is in good condition. (P.116)
QDuring charging
OThe charging starting time may differ
depending on the state of the vehicle,
but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
OCooling fan sounds may be heard
from near the rear seat. (P.98)
ODuring charging, sounds may be
heard from near the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in accordance with
the operation of the air conditioning
system or “Battery Cooler” (P.128).
ODuring and after charging, the rear
seat and its surrounding area in which
the onboard traction battery charger is
installed may get warm.
OThe surface of the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate
a malfunction. (When using Mode 2
AC charging cable.)
ODepending on radio wave conditions,
interference may be heard on the
radio.
OThe current charging condition and
the estimated time until charging will
complete can be checked on the
multi-information display.
QCapacity reduction of the hybrid
battery (traction battery)
The capacity of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) will decline gradually when
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in
use. The rate at which it declines will dif-
fer in accordance with environmental
conditions and the way in which the
vehicle is used. Observing the following
can help suppress battery capacity
decline.
OAvoid parking the vehicle in areas with
a high temperature under direct sun-
light when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged.
OAvoid accelerating and decelerating frequently and suddenly when EV
driving.
OAvoid frequent driving near the top
speed for EV driving. (P.90)
OLeave a low level of charge in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) when
leaving the vehicle undriven for a long
period of time.
After confirming that EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode has switched to
HV mode, turn the power switch off.
OUse the charging schedule function as
much as possible in order to fully
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) immediately before starting off.
(P.143)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode decreases. However, vehi-
cle performance does not significantly
become worse.
QWhen the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low after charging
In the following situations, the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to protect
the system (the EV driving range after
the battery is fully charged may be
shorter).
*
OCharging is carried out when the out-
side temperature is low or high.
OCharging is carried out immediately
after high-load driving or in extreme
heat.
When none of the above situations
apply and there is a drastic drop in the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) after charging com-
pletes, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remain-
ing charge display of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) shows that it is
