A portable device can be charged
by just placing Qi standard wireless
charge compatible portable devices
according to the Wireless Power
Consortium, such as smartphones
and mobile batteries, etc., on the
charge area.
This function cannot be used with
portable devices that are larger
than the charging tray. Also,
depending on the portable device, it
may not operate as normal. Please
read the operation manual for por-
table devices to be used.

NOTICE
OWhen the USB Type-C charging ports are not in use, close the lids. If
a foreign object or liquid enters a port may cause a short circuit.
ODo not apply excessive force to or impact the USB Type-C charging ports.
ODo not disassemble or modify the USB Type-C charging ports.
QTo prevent damage to external devices
ODo not leave external devices in the vehicle. The temperature inside the vehicle may become high, resulting
in damage to an external device.
ODo not push down on or apply
unnecessary force to an external device or the cable of an external device while it is connected.
QTo prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
Do not use the USB Type-C charging ports for a long period of time when the hybrid system is off.

tinuously (Orange)QThe wireless charger can be oper-
ated when
The power switch is in ACC or ON.
QUsable portable devices
OQi standard wireless charge standard
can be used on compatible devices.
However, not all Qi standard devices
and compatibility are guaranteed.
OStarting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically supplied portable
devices of no more than 5W.
OHowever, charging exceeding 5 W is
supported by the following portable
devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is supported
by iPhone’s that support 7.5 W
charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is supported
by portable devices compliant with
WPC standard Ver1.2.4.
QUsing the smart entry & start sys-
tem
If the smart entry & start system detects
the key while a device is being charged,
charging will be temporarily stopped.
QWhen covers and accessories are
attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where cover
and accessories not able to handle Qi
are attached to the portable device.
Depending on the type of cover and
accessory, it may not be possible to
charge. When charging is not performed
even with the portable device placed on
the charge area, remove the cover and
accessories.
QWhile charging, noise enters the
AM radio
OTurn off the wireless charger and con-
firm that the noise has decreased. If
the noise decreases, continuously
pushing the power supply switch of
the wireless charger for 2 seconds,
the frequency of the charger can be
changed and the noise can be
reduced. Also, on that occasion, the
Suspected causesHandling method
Foreign substance
detection:
A metallic foreign
substance is in the
charge area, and
so the abnormal
heating prevention
function of the
charging coil oper-
ated
Remove the for-
eign substance
from the charge
area.
Portable device
misaligned:
The charging coil
in the portable
device moved out-
side of the charge
area, and so the
abnormal heating
prevention function
of the charging coil
operated
Remove the porta-
ble device from the
charging tray,
check that the
operation indicator
light switches back
to green, and then
once again place
the device near the
center of the
charging tray. If
there is a case or
cover attached to
the portable
device, remove it.
Suspected causesHandling method
Safety shutdown
resulting when the
temperature within
the wireless char-
ger exceeded the
set value
Stop charging,
remove the porta-
ble device from the
charging tray, wait
for the temperature
to drop, and then
start charging
again.

QChecking the engine oil
1Park the vehicle on level
ground. After warming up the
engine and turning off the hybrid
system, wait more than 5 min-
utes for the oil to drain back into
the bottom of the engine.
2Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out.
3Wipe the dipstick clean.
4Reinsert the dipstick fully.
5Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out and check
the oil level.

QOil capacity (Drain and refill  reference*)
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing the
engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn off the hybrid system, wait more than 5
minutes, and check the oil level on the dipstick.
QEngine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used
in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching qual-
ity can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserv-
ing”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserv-
ing” or SP “Resource-Conserving”;
or ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine
oil
0W-20 and 5W-30:
API grade SM “Energy-Conserv-
ing”, SN “Resource-Conserving”,
SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving”
or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-16 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in cold
weather.
If SAE 0W-16 oil is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used. How-
ever, it should be replaced with
SAE 0W-16 at the next oil change.

5629-1. Specifications
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
Preferred
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the
characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with
a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine
in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the
viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high tempera-
ture. An oil with a higher viscos-
ity (one with a higher value) may
be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container labels:
Either or both API registered marks
are added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you should use.
API Service Symbol
Top portion: “API SERVICE SP” means
the oil quality designation by American
Petroleum Institute (API).
Center portion: “SAE 0W-16” means
the SAE viscosity grade.
Lower portion: “Resource-Conserving”
means that the oil has fuel-saving and
environmental protection capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The International Lubricant Specifica-
tion Advisory Committee (ILSAC) Certi-
fication Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.
