Interior features
stable power supply
●Devices that require a constant
power supply from the power out-
let, such as a device with a timer.
■When the 120 VAC power out-
lets cannot be used
If the AC120V switch is pressed but
the switch indicator does not illumi-
nate, the protection circuit may have
operated.
In this case, perform the appropriate
procedures as follows.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the p ower outlets,
check that the total power con-
sumption of all devices to be con-
nected to the power outlets is less
than 1500 W and check that the
devices are not malfunctioning,
reconnect the devices and then
press the AC120V switch again.
●Check the charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery)
( P.122). If the charge is low,
shift the shift lever to P, allow the
engine to run to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery), and then
press the AC120V switch again.
●If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been park ed in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
sufficiently ventilate or cool the
interior, and then press the
AC120V switch again.
●If the vehicle has been stopped in
a cold area, to pro tect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the
power outlets may not be able to
be used. In this case, drive the
vehicle for a while to warm up the
hybrid battery (traction battery),
and then press the AC120V
switch again.
If the power outlets cannot be used
even after performing the appropri-
ate procedures above, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
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 use devices such as the
following when driving:
• Devices which cannot be prop- erly secured within the vehicle.
• Devices which may distract the driver and be a hinderance to
safe driving, such as a TV, DVD
player, etc.
• Unsecured devices which gen- erate heat, such as a toaster,
microwave, electric heater,
electric kettle, coffee maker,
etc., as they may cause burns
or a fire in the case of sudden
braking or an accident.
• Devices which may fall under the pedals and prevent the
brake pedal from being
depressed.
●Do not use devices which pro-
duce steam while the windows
are closed. Doing so may cause
the windows to fog up, reducing
visibility and making it difficult to
drive safely. Also, the steam
may damage or negatively
affect other devices.
●Do not connect a malfunctioning
device to a power outlet, as
doing so may cause the power
outlets to become inoperable.
●Do not disconnect the plug of a
device while your hands are wet
or insert a pin or other object
into the power ou tlet. Also, if a
liquid or snow is on the power
outlet, dry the outlet before
using it.
