Driver’s seat position sensor
Front passenger’s seat belt buckle switch
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed 
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The 
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on 
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system 
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical  
reaction in the inflators quickly  fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to 
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy 
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions,  burns, bruising, 
etc., may be sustained from SRS 
airbags, due to the extremely high 
speed deployment (inflation) by 
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will 
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and 
inflator) as well as the front seats, 
parts of the front  and rear pillars, 
and roof side rails, may be hot for 
several minutes. T he airbag itself 
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped 
and fuel supply to the engine will 
be stopped. ( P. 7 9 )
●All of the doors will be unlocked. 
( P.114)
●The brakes and st op lights will be 
controlled automatically. ( P.375)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.412)
●The emergency flashers will turn 
on automatically. ( P.494)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if 
any of the following situations 
occur, the system is designed to 
send an emergency call to the  response center, notifying them of 
the vehicle’s location (without 
needing to push the “SOS” button) 
and an agent will attempt to speak 
with the occupants to ascertain 
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants 
are unable to communicate, the 
agent automatically treats the call 
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency 
services. (
P. 6 8 )
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe  rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy 
in the event of an impact that 
exceeds the set  threshold level 
(the level of forc e corresponding 
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph 
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with 
a fixed wall that does not move or 
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will 
be considerably higher in the follow-
ing situations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object,  such as a parked vehicle or sign 
pole, which can move or deform 
on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an

For safety and security
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel 
and the hybrid system cannot be 
started, refuel th e vehicle with at 
least enough gasoline to make the 
low fuel level warning light ( P.507) 
go off. If there is only a small 
amount of fuel, th e hybrid system 
may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 21.9 L 
[5.8 gal., 4.8 Imp. gal.] when the 
vehicle is on a level surface. This 
value may vary whe n the vehicle is 
on a slope. Add extra fuel when the 
vehicle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on 
Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorpo-
rate electromagnetic shielding, 
and therefore emi t approximately 
the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gaso-
line powered vehicles or home 
electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound 
interference in so me third party-
produced radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (tr action battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) 
has a limited service life. The lifes-
pan of the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) can change in accordance 
with driving style and driving condi-
tions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an 
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) is extremely cold (below 
approximately -31°F [-35°C]) under 
the influence of t he outside tem-
perature, it may no t be possible to 
start the hybrid system. In this case, 
try to start the hybrid system again 
after the temperature of the hybrid 
battery increases due to the outside 
temperature increase etc.
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC 
and AC systems as well as a 12-
volt system. DC and AC high volt-
age is very dangerous and can 
cause severe burns and electric 
shock that may result in death or 
serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, 
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables or their con-
nectors.
●The hybrid system will become 
hot after starting as the system 
uses high voltage. Be careful of 
both the high voltage and the 
high temperature, and always 
obey the warning labels 
attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service 
plug access hole located under 
the right side o f the rear seat. 
The service plug  is used only 
when the vehicle is serviced 
and is subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions 
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous injury:
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place 
to prevent subsequent acci-
dents. While depressing the 
brake pedal, apply the parking 
brake and shift the shift lever to 
P to stop the hybrid system. 
Then, slowly release the brake 
pedal

WARNING
■If a safety system warning 
light does not come on
Should a safety system light such 
as the ABS and SRS warning light 
not come on when you start the 
hybrid system, this could mean 
that these system s are not avail-
able to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death 
or serious injury. Have the vehicle 
inspected by you r Toyota dealer 
immediately if this occurs.
