allow the belt to extend so that you 
can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor 
(ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is 
completely extended and then 
retracted even slightly, the belt is 
locked in that position and cannot 
be extended. This feature is used to 
hold a child restraint system (CRS) 
firmly. To free the belt again, fully 
retract the belt and then pull the belt 
out once more.

WARNING
●Do not wear the seat belt 
extender if you can fasten the 
seat belt without the extender.
●Do not use the seat belt 
extender when installing a child 
restraint system because the 
belt will not securely hold the 
child restraint system, increas-
ing the risk of  death or serious 
injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
●The personalized extender may 
not be safe on another vehicle, 
when used by another person, 
or at a different seating position 
other than the one originally 
intended.
NOTICE
■When using a seat belt 
extender
When releasing the seat belt, 
press on the buckle release but-
ton on the extender, not on the 
seat belt. 
This helps prevent damage to the 
vehicle interior and the extender 
itself.

For safety and security
install the child restraint system.
 Adjust the seatback angle to 
the most upright position.
 Move the front seat fully rear-
ward. If the passenger seat 
height can be adjusted, move 
it to the upper most position.
 If the head restraint interferes 
with the child restraint system 
installation and the head 
restraint can be removed, 
remove the head restraint. 
Otherwise, put the head 
restraint in the upper most 
position.
WARNING
■When using a child restraint 
system
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in 
death or serious injury.
●Never install a rear-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat even if the “AIR 
BAG OFF” indicator light is illu-
minated. In the event of an acci-
dent, the force of the rapid 
inflation of the front passenger 
airbag can cause death or seri-
ous injury to the child if the rear-
facing child restraint system is 
installed on the front passenger 
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger seat only when 
it is unavoidable. A child 
restraint system that requires a 
top tether strap should not be 
used in the front passenger seat 
since there is no top tether strap 
anchor for the front passenger 
seat.
●A forward-facing child restraint 
system may be installed on the 
front passenger seat only when 
it is unavoidable. When install-
ing a forward-facing child 
restraint system on the front 
passenger seat, adjust the seat-
back angle to the  most upright 
position, move the seat to the 
rearmost position, even if the 
“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is 
illuminated. 
If the head restraint interferes 
with the child restraint system 
installation and the head 
restraint can be removed, 
remove the head restraint. 

802-1. Electric vehicle system
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
When a certain level of impact is 
detected by the impact sensors, 
the emergency shut off system turns off the EV system and 
blocks the high voltage current. 
If the emergency shut off system 
activates, your vehicle will not 
restart. To restart the EV sys-
tem, contact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction 
occurs in the EV system or an 
improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown 
on the multi-information display, 
read the message and follow the 
instructions. (
P.140, 522)
■If a warning light comes on, a 
warning message  is displayed, 
or the 12-volt battery is discon-
nected
The EV system may not start.
In that case, try to start the system 
again. If the “READY” indicator does 
not come on, contact your Toyota 
dealer.

completely discharged
When the EV system cannot be 
started due to the  traction battery 
being completely discharged, restart

WARNING
■Caution while driving
●Pay special attention to the area 
around the vehicle. Because 
there is no engine noise, pedes-
trians, people riding bicycles or 
other people and vehicles in the 
area may not be aware of the 
vehicle starting off or approach-
ing them, so take extra care 
while driving. Therefore, take 
extra care while driving even if 
the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting 
System is active.
●If the vehicle under floor area 
receives strong shock or impact 
while driving, stop the vehicle in 
a safe place and check around 
the bottom of the vehicle. If 
there is damage  to the traction 
battery or liquid leakage, it may 
lead to a vehicle fire, etc. Do not 
touch the vehicle and immedi-
ately contact your Toyota dealer.
Even if no damage can be seen 
under the floor, the traction bat-
tery may be damaged. If the 
vehicle received an impact 
under the floor, have the traction 
battery inspected at a Toyota 
dealer.
■Modifications
Do not make modifications that 
lower the height of the vehicle. 
The traction battery in the under 
floor area may come into contact 
with the ground when the height 
of vehicle is lowered. If the trac-
tion battery is damaged, a vehicle 
fire may occur, possibly resulting 
in death or serious injury.
