Plug-in hybrid system
QWhen a door is unlocked while
using “My Room Mode”
The charging connector unlocks,
charging stops and “My Room Mode”
stops. In order to use “My Room Mode”
again, reconnect the AC charging cable
and start “My Room Mode” (P.152).
When using “My Room Mode” with pub-
lic charging station, operation to start
charging using the charger may be
required again before starting “My Room
Mode”.
QMeter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on for
approximately 100 seconds after the
power switch is turned on during
charging, the power switch will automat-
ically turn off.
QWhile using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
OWhen the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air condi-
tioning system automatically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room
Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
restored.
OWhen the outside temperature is low,
the heater output may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera-
tion being restricted.
OWarning lights and indicators such as
electric power steering system warn-
ing light (yellow) and malfunction indi-
cator lamp may turn on, but this is not
a malfunction.
Also, when the surrounding area is
dark, the headlights are turned on.
(P.288)
QWhen a charging schedule is regis-
tered
When “My Room Mode” starts while the
charging schedule is on standby, charging schedules are ignored and
charging starts.
QWhen “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged and the charging con-
nector that supplies power is connected,
“Charging Port Lid is Open” is displayed
on the multi-information display. In this
case, press of the meter control
switches to display the setting screen of
“My Room Mode”, and then select “My
Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used while
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
fully charged, the electric power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) may be
consumed. In this case, charging may
be performed again.
QWhen a message related to “My
Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on the
multi-information display while using or
attempting to start “My Room Mode”,
take the following correction proce-
dures.
O“Traction battery is too low for “My
Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining charge in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) for
starting “My Room Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases, then
start “My Room Mode”.
O““My Room Mode” has stopped due to
low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is insufficient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
O““My Room Mode” will stop when trac-
tion battery is too low Reduce power
usage to continue using “My Room

QCharging starts, even though charging schedule is registered
Likely causeCorrection procedure
“Charge Now” is set to on
When charging according to the charging
schedule, set “Charge Now” to off.
(P.149)
charging schedule is set to offCheck that charging schedule is not set
to off. (P.148)
Charging mode is set to “Departure” and
schedule departure time is close to cur-
rent timeWhen the system determines that there
is no time to finish charging by the set
scheduled departure time, it starts
charging. Check the charging schedules.
AC charging cable was removed and
reinserted while charging indicator of the
charging port was flashing
If the AC charging cable is removed and
reinserted while the charging indicator is
flashing, the charging schedule is can-
celed (P.137).
Temporarily remove the AC charging
cable, and then reconnect it.
The “My Room Mode” or the Remote Air
Conditioning System was operated
When the “My Room Mode” or the
Remote Air Conditioning System is oper-
ated, the system will start charging, even
if the charging schedule is registered. To
carry out charging using the charging
schedule, stop the “My Room Mode” or
the Remote Air Conditioning System,
and then reconnect the AC charging
cable.
“Battery Heater” (P.127) operated
When the charging mode is set to
“Departure”, “Battery Heater” may oper-
ate before charging starts. Check the
status of the charging indicator of the
charging port. (P.106)
Outside temperature is low and hybrid
battery (traction battery) warming control
(P.128) operated (Greenland only)
When hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control operates, the charging
schedules are ignored and charging
starts. In order to protect the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), allow charging to
continue.

Likely causeCorrection procedure
Power is being consumed by electrical
components of vehicle
Check the following items, and then carry
out charging again.
If the headlights and audio are turned
on, turn them off.
Turn the power switch off.
If charging cannot be carried out, even
after performing the above, the auxiliary
battery may not be sufficiently charged.
Operate the hybrid system for approxi-
mately 15 minutes or more to charge the
auxiliary battery.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Malfunction occurred in charging system
Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
The Hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control was operated (P.128)
When the hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control operates, the charging
schedule is not used and charging is per-
formed.
This is a control to protect the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), and not a malfunc-
tion.

WARNING
QWhen driving the vehicle
ODo not drive if you are unfamiliar
with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel- erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-
tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving
posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accel-
erator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-ing in an accident.
OThe driver should pay extra atten-tion to pedestrians when the vehicle
is powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). As there is no engine noise, the pedestrians
may misjudge the vehicle’s move- ment. Even though the vehicle is equipped with the Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System, drive with care as pedestrians in the vicinity may still not notice the vehicle if the sur-
rounding area is noisy.
ODo not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable materials such as leaves, paper or rags.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is
any flammable material nearby.
ODuring normal driving, do not turn off the hybrid system. Turning the hybrid system off while driving will
not cause loss of steering or brak- ing control, however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so. In the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way:  P.500
OUse engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. ( P.277)
ODo not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the
inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving.Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
OAlways check that all passengers’
arms, head or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.
QWhen driving on slippery road surfaces
OSudden braking, acceleration and
steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
OSudden acceleration, engine brak-ing due to shifting, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehi- cle to skid.

QWhen driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sud-
den acceleration, as this could result in the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.
NOTICE
QHybrid battery (traction battery) charge
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) will not be charging, even when the engine is
running. Therefore, if the vehicle is left with the shift lever in N for a long
period of time, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will discharge, and this may result in the vehicle not
being able to start.
