owner (or the lessee for a leased
vehicle) is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a

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.

Electric Vehicle system
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor electricity con-
sumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads will lead to
poor electricity consumption.
Use tires that are appropriate for
the season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to poor electricity consumption.
Avoid carrying unnecessary lug-
gage. A value for which a sufficient
level of driving performance can
be provided is estimated based
on the remaining charge of the
traction battery, the state of the
traction battery, the outside tem-
perature, etc., and is displayed
on the multi-information display.
(
P.152)
When the outside temperature
is low, the traction battery output
may be decreased, causing the
possible driving distance to be
shorter. However, this is not a
malfunction. Charge the trac-
tion battery earlier than usual.
Possible driving distance varies
significantly depending on how
the vehicle is driven, road condi-
tions, the weather, the outside
temperature, usage conditions
of electrical components and the
Luggage
Driving range
The driving range dis-
played on the multi-informa-
tion display, etc., shows the
reference distance that driv-
ing is possible, and the
actual distance that can be
driven may differ from that
displayed.

number of occupants.
Possible driving distance could
be extended if the followings are
performed:
Maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front and avoid
unnecessary acceleration and
deceleration
 Accelerate and decelerate the
vehicle as smoothly as possi-
ble
 Drive at moderate speeds as
much as possible and main-
tain a constant speed
 Set the air conditioning sys-
tem to a moderate tempera-
ture and avoid using the
heating and cooling functions
excessively.
 Use tires of the specified size
and maintain the specified tire
pressure
 Do not add unnecessary
weight to the vehicle
The followings indicate that
charging has been carried out
properly.
 The AC charging indicator
turns off
 “Charging complete” is dis-
played on the multi-informa-
tion display when a door is
opened while the power switch is off. (
P.101)
Regardless of the type of power
source or whether the charging
schedule function is used,
charging is completed if the
above can be confirmed.

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
EV system, this c ould mean that
these systems are not available to
help protect you in an accident,
which could result in death or seri-
ous injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by you r Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
