4266-4. Using the other interior features
usage of 1500 W at AC 120 V for
the power outlet (AC 120 V/1500
W). If electrical devices exceeding
the specified capacity are used,
the protection fun ction will activate
and prevent the power outlet from
being used.
●Some electrical devices with high
power consumptio n (such as an
electric griddle) may need to use
the power outlet solely. In this
case, do not use such a device
together with other devices.
●When power is supplied to multi-
ple devices, some devices may
not operate properly. In this case,
use the device solely.
●While the power outlet is used, a
large current may flow causing the
current power to exceed 1500 W
depending on the electrical device
used. In this situation, the protec-
tion function may activate and
stop the power supply function.
●Certain types of electrical devices
may disturb TV or radio by noises.
●Noise may be heard from the cool-
ing fan under the rear seats when
using the power outlet, but this is
not a malfunction.
■120 VAC Devices which may
not operate properly
The following electrical devices may
not operate properly even if their
total power consumption is less than
1500 W.
●Devices with high initial peak watt-
age
●Devices that require larger power
consumption than described in the
instruction manual of the electrical
device.
●Measuring devices that process
precise data
●Devices that require an extremely
stable power supply
●Devices that require a constant
power supply from the power out-
let, such as a device with a timer.
■Idling stop regulations
The engine starts automatically and
charging starts when the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) decreases, etc. Some
states have regulations against
starting the engine while the vehicle
is parked or stopped. Check the reg-
ulations of the applicable local gov-
ernment, and use the power outlet
appropriately.
■When using the power outlet
while the vehicle is parked or
stopped
●The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked using the smart key sys-
tem.
●The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked using the electronic key.
The doors can on ly be locked or
unlocked using the mechanical
key ( P.532).
●A buzzer may sound or “Key Not
Detected Check Key Location”
may be displayed on the multi-
information display when the door
is opened or closed. Make sure to
carry the electronic key on your
person.
●When the surroundings are dark
while using the power outlet, the
headlights turn on automatically.
To turn off the lights, refer to
P.293. (except for Canada)
WARNING
■For safe use
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not allow pers ons unfamiliar
with the system, such as a child,
to use the power outlet by them-
selves.

4627-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
The 12-volt battery is located in
the right-hand side of luggage
compartment.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery installed on the vehicle, be
sure to disconnect the ground
cable.
●Make sure the power switch on
the charger is off when connecting
and disconnecting the charger
cables to the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting
the 12-volt battery
●Unlocking the doors using the
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the 12-volt battery. If this
happens, use the wireless remote
control or the mechanical key to
lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the hybrid system with the
power switch in ACC. The hybrid
system may not start with the
power switch turned off. How-
ever, the hybrid system will oper-
ate normally from the second attempt.
●The power switch mode is
recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the
vehicle will return the power
switch mode to the status it was in
before the 1
2-volt battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off
the power switch before discon-
nect the 12-volt battery. Take
extra care when connecting the
12-volt battery if the power switch
mode prior to discharge is
unknown.
If the hybrid system will not start
even after multiple attempts at all
methods above, contact your
Toyota dealer.12-volt battery
