The SRS airbag and seat belt 
pretensioner devices in your 
Toyota contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped 
with the airbags and seat belt 
pretensioners left as they are, 
this may cause an accident such 
as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag and seat 
belt pretensioner removed and 
disposed of by a qualified ser-
vice shop or by your Toyota 
dealer before you scrap your 
vehicle.
Special handling may apply,

Your vehicle has components  that may contain perchlorate. 
These components may include 
the airbags, seat belt preten-
sioners, wireless remote control 
batteries, and the batteries in 
the tire pressure warning valve 
and transmitters.

WARNING
■General precautions while 
driving
Driving under the influence: Never 
drive your vehicle when under the 
influence of alcohol or drugs that 
have impaired your  ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time, 
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, which could lead to an 
accident that could result in death 
or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive 
defensively. Anticipate mistakes 
that other drivers or pedestrians 
might make and be ready to avoid 
accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give 
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing that distracts the driver, such 
as adjusting controls, talking on a 
cellular phone or reading can 
result in a collision with resulting 
death or serious injury to you, 
your occupants or others.

battery cannot be charged. Also, 
when using the air conditioning 
system, etc., the traction battery 
electricity is consumed. 
(P.237)
Repeated acceleration and 
deceleration due to traffic con-
gestion, long waits at traffic 
lights, and driving on steep 
inclines will lead to poor electric-
ity consumption. In order to 
avoid those situations as much 
as possible, check traffic reports 
before leaving. If the vehicle is 
driven in traffic congestion, gen-
tly release the brake pedal to 
allow the vehicle to move for-
ward slightly, avoid overuse of 
the accelerator pedal. Doing so 
can help minimize unnecessary 
electricity consumption.
Make sure to operate the brakes 
gently and a timely manner. A 
greater amount of electrical 
energy can be regenerated 
when slowing down.
Control and maintain the vehicle 
at a constant speed. Before 
stopping at a toll booth or simi-
lar, allow plenty of time to  release the accelerator and gen-
tly apply the brakes. A greater 
amount of electrical energy can 
be regenerated when slowing 
down.
Use the air conditioning only 
when necessary. Doing so 
can help reduce excessive 
electricity consumption.
In summer: When  the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to 
reduce the burden on the air condi-
tioning system and  reduce electric-
ity consumption as well.
In winter: Exce ssive or unneces-
sary heating should be avoided. 
Also, electricity consumption can 
be improved by avoiding overuse of 
the heater.
 When using the Remote Air 
Conditioning System 
( P.409) while the AC 
charging cable is connected 
to the vehicle, electricity con-
sumption immediately after 
starting off will be reduced 
because air conditioning is 
operated mainly using elec-
tricity from an external power 
source.
Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.

■Unlocking the charging 
connector
The AC charging connector will 
be unlocked when the doors are 
unlocked using the smart key 
system or wireless remote con-
trol.
The AC charging connector 
locks when connected and 
unlocks when the door is 
unlocked, so locking/unlocking 
the AC charging connector does 
not necessarily correspond to 
locking/unlocking the door. If the door is unlocked and the 
AC charging connector is 
locked, you can unlock it by 
doing the following:
• When using the smart key 
system, lock the door once 
and then unlock it again. 
( P.167)
• When using the wireless  remote control, press the 
unlock button to unlock the 
door. ( P.167)
■Changing the AC charging 
connector lock settings

The Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem was operated
When the Remote Air Conditioning 
System is operated, the system will 
start charging, even if the charging 
schedule is registered. To carry out 
charging using the charging sched-
ule, stop the Remote Air Condition-
ing System, and then reconnect the 
AC charging connector.
Outside temperature is low and trac-
tion battery warming control ( P. 9 9 )  
operated
 When traction battery warming 
control operates, the charging 
schedules are ignored and 
charging starts. In order to protect 
the traction battery , allow charging 
to continue.
 After removing and installing the 
12-volt battery, the charging 
schedule setting may become 
invalid due to the in itial setting of 
the traction battery warming con-
trol system even wh en the outside 
temperature is not low.
In this case, after  a few runs, the 
system’s initial  settings will be 
completed and the charging 
schedule settings will take effect 
when the outside temperature is 
not low.
