1-4. Hybrid system
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and
the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warn-
ing light ( P.377) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid sys-tem may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 5.8 L [1.6 gal., 1.3 Imp. gal.] [vehicles without rear wiper] or 6.3 L [1.7 gal., 1.4 Imp. gal.]
[vehicles with rear wiper] when the vehi- cle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add
extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
hybrid vehicles incorporate electro- magnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as conven- tional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-ference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving style
and driving conditions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is extremely cold (below approxi- mately -30°C [-22°F]) under the influence of the outside temperature, it
may not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the hybrid system again after the tempera-
ture of the hybrid battery increases due to the outside temperature increase etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis-
sions according to regulation ECE100 (Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and
AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys- tem. DC and AC high voltage 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 voltage parts, cables or their connectors.
●The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses
high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-ture, and always obey the warning
labels attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service plug
access hole located under the left side of 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 serious
injury:
●Pull your vehicle off the road, apply
the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, and turn the hybrid sys-tem off.
●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.

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 systems are not available to help pro-tect you in an accident, which could
result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.

■Starting the hybrid system
P.173, 175
■Driving
1 With the brake pedal depressed,
shift the shift lever to D.
( P.181)
2 If the parking brake is in manual
mode, release the parking
brake. ( P.184)
3 Gradually release the brake
pedal and gently depress the
accelerator pedal to accelerate
the vehicle.
■Stopping
1 With the shift lever in D, depress
the brake pedal.
2 If necessary, set the parking
brake.
If the vehicle is to be stopped for an extended period of time, shift the shift
lever to P. ( P.181)
■Parking the vehicle
1 With the shift lever in D, depress
the brake pedal to stop the vehi-
cle completely.
2 Set the parking brake (P.184),
and shift the shift lever to P.
( P.181)
Check the parking brake indicator is
illuminated.
3 Turn the power switch to OFF to
stop the hybrid system.
4 Slowly release the brake pedal.
5 Lock the door, making sure that
you have the key on your per-
son.
If parking on a hill, block the wheels as needed.
■Starting off on a steep uphill
1 Make sure that the parking
brake is set and shift the shift
lever to D.
2 Gently depress the accelerator
pedal.
3 Release the parking brake.
■For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar to conventional vehicles, and it is necessary to refrain from activities such
as sudden acceleration. ( P.282)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■Restraining the hybrid system out-put (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-als are depressed at the same time,
