Perform the following steps and fit 
tire chains to the front tires:

tire removed from  the rear of the 
vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.
WARNING
■When using the compact 
spare tire
●Remember that the compact 
spare tire provided is specifi-
cally designed for use with your 
vehicle. Do not use your com-
pact spare tire on another vehi-
cle.
●Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tire simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire 
with a standard tire as soon as 
possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, 
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that 
cause sudden engine braking.
■When the compact spare tire 
is attached
The vehicle speed may not be 
correctly detecte d, and the follow-
ing systems may not operate cor-
rectly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC/Trailer Sway Control
• TRAC
• Dynamic radar cruise control 
with full-speed range
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• EPS
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Tire pressure warning system (if  equipped)
• AHB (Automatic High Beam)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)
• Rear view monitor system (if  equipped)
• Panoramic view monitor (if  equipped)
• Toyota parking assist monitor (if  equipped)
• Intuitive parking assist (if  equipped)
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake)  (if equipped)
• Navigation system (if equipped)
Also, not only c an the following 
system not be utilized fully, but it 
may actually negatively affect the 
drive-train components:
• E-Four (Electronic On-Demand 
AWD system)
■Speed limit when using the 
compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess 
of 50 mph (80 km /h) when a com-
pact spare tire is installed on the 
vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not 
designed for driving at high 
speeds. Failure to observe this 
precaution may lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious 
injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, ma ke sure all the 
tools and jack are securely in 
place in their storage location to 
reduce the possibility of personal 
injury during a collision or sudden 
braking.

6 Maintain the engine speed of 
the second vehicle and start 
the hybrid system of your 
vehicle by turning the power 
switch to ON.
7 Make sure the “READY” indi-
cator comes on. If the indica-
tor light does not come on, 
contact your Toyota dealer.
8 Once the hybrid system has 
started, remove the jumper 
cables in the exact reverse 
order from which they were 
connected.
9 Close the exclusive jump 
starting terminal cover, and 
reinstall the fuse box cover to 
its original position.
Once the hybrid system starts, 
have the vehicle inspected at 
your Toyota dealer as soon as 
possible.
■Starting the hybrid system 
when the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be 
started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-vol t battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the 
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnec essary electri-
cal components when the vehicle 
is running at a low speed for an 
extended period, such as in heavy 
traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is 
removed or discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is 
cleared. When the 12-volt battery 
is depleted, have the vehicle 
inspected at you r Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. (P.578)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals 
are removed, the information stored 
in the ECU is cleared. Before 
removing the 12-vo lt battery termi-
nals, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt 
battery will discha rge gradually even 
when the vehicle i s not in use, due 
to natural dischar ge and the drain-
ing effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long 
time, the 12-volt  battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may 
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges automatically while 
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing 
the 12-volt battery
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the 
smart key system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged. Use the 
wireless remote c ontrol or the 
mechanical key to lock or unlock 
the doors.
●The hybrid syste m may not start 
on the first attemp t after reinstall-
ing the 12-volt battery. In that 
case, start the hybrid system in 
the same manner as when the 
electronic key  does not operate 
properly ( P.533). This is not a 
malfunction, as the hybrid system 
will start normally on the second 
attempt.
●The power switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the 
system will return to the mode it

NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
When connecting the jumper 
cables, ensure that they do not 
become entangled in the cooling 
fan, etc.
■To prevent damaging the 
vehicle
The exclusive jump starting termi-
nal is to be used when charging 
the 12-volt battery from another 
vehicle in an emergency. It cannot 
be used to jump start another 
vehicle.
If your vehicle over-
heats
The following may indicate 
that your vehicle is over-
heating.
 The high coolant tempera-
ture warning light ( P.161) 
comes on or flashes, or a 
loss of hybrid system power 
is experienced. (For exam-
ple, the vehicle speed does 
not increase.)

If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
3 After the hybrid system has 
cooled down sufficiently, 
inspect the hoses and radia-
tor core (radiator) for any 
leaks.
Radiator
Cooling fan
If a large amount of coolant leaks, 
immediately contact your Toyota 
dealer.
4The coolant level is satisfac-
tory if it is between the 
“FULL” and “LOW” lines on 
the reservoir.
Reservoir
“FULL” line

Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if engine coolant is unavail-
able. 
If water was added in an emer-
gency, have the vehicle inspected 
at your Toyota dealer as soon as 
possible.
6Start the hybrid system and 
turn the air conditioning sys-
tem on to check that the radi-
ator cooling fan operates and 
to check for coolant leaks 
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operates when the air con-
ditioning system is turned on imme-
diately after a cold start. Confirm 
that the fan is operating by check-
ing the fan sound and air flow. If it is 
difficult to check  these, adjust the 
temperature control switch to “LO” 
and turn the “A/C” switch ON and 
OFF. After this, turn the air condi-
tioning system on and off repeat-
edly. (The fan may not operate in 
freezing temperatures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the hybrid system 
immediately and contact your 
Toyota dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at 
the nearest Toyota dealer.

WARNING
■When inspecting under the 
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may  result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen  coming from 
under the hood, do not open the 
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The engine compart-
ment may be very hot.
●After the hybrid system has 
been turned off, check that the 
“READY” indicator is off.
When the hybrid system is oper-
ating, the gasoline engine may 
automatically start, or the cool-
ing fan may suddenly operate 
even if the gasoline engine 
stops. Do not touch or approach 
rotating parts such as the fan, 
which may lead to fingers or 
clothing (especially a tie, a scarf 
or a muffler) getting caught, 
resulting in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir cap while the hybrid system 
and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or 
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding engine/power 
control unit coolant
Add coolant slowly after the 
hybrid system has cooled down 
sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to 
a hot hybrid system too quickly 
can cause damage to the hybrid 
system.
■To prevent damage to the 
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant 
with foreign matter (such as 
sand or dust, etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive.
