■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
● Slight abrasions, burns, bruising, etc., may be sustained from SRS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed depl oyment (inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, a nd roof side rails,
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be h ot.
● The windshield may crack.
● The hybrid system will be stopped and fuel supply to the engine will be
stopped. ( P. 123)
● For eCall subscribers, if any of the following situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the response center, noti fying them
of the vehicle’s location (without needing to push the “SOS” bu tton) and an
agent will attempt to speak with the occupants to ascertain the level of emer-
gency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable to c ommuni-
cate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency a nd helps to
dispatch the necessary emergency services. ( P. 96)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
■ SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS front airbags)
● The SRS front airbags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the
set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an app roximately 20 -
30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold veloci ty will be considerably higher in the following
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 underride collision, such as a collision in
which the front of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a
truck
● Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt
pretensioners will activate.

■ When to contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer
In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and /or repair. Con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repair er, or any reli-
able repairer as soon as possible.
● Any of the SRS airbags have been inflated.
● The front of the vehicle is damaged or
deformed, or was involved in an acci-
dent that was not severe enough to
cause the SRS front airbags to inflate.
● A portion of a door or its surrounding
area is damaged, deformed or has had a
hole made in it, or the vehicle was
involved in an accident that was not
severe enough to cause the SRS side
and curtain shield airbags to inflate.
● Vehicles without SRS driver’s knee
airbag:
The pad section of the steering wheel or
dashboard near the front passenger
airbag is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.
Vehicles with SRS driver’s knee airbag:
The pad section of the steering wheel,
dashboard near the front passenger
airbag or lower portion of the instrument
panel is scratched, cracked, or other-
wise damaged.

WARNING
■For your safety
● Please drive safely.
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emer gency Call
in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden medica l emergen-
cies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any w ay. Please
drive safely and fasten your seatbelts at all times for your sa fety.
● In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
● If you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle
and evacuate to a safe area immediately.
● If the airbags deploy when the system is operating normally, the system
makes emergency call. The system also makes emergency call when the
vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over, even if the airb ags do not
deploy.
● For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steeri ng wheel,
which may lead to unexpected accidents.
Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings be fore mak-
ing the Emergency Call.
● When changing fuses, please use the specified fuses. Using other fuses
may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit and lead to a fire.
● Using the system while there is smoke or an unusual smell may cause a
fire. Stop using the system immediately and consult any authori zed Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.

◆When stopped/during start off
The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle is stopped. During
start off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehic le. At
slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine i s
stopped* and the electric motor (traction motor) is used.
When shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) is not
being charged.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) requires charging o r the engine
is warming up, etc., the gasoline engine will not automatically stop.
( P. 1 1 9 )
◆During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as nec-
essary.
◆When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, the power of t he
hybrid battery (traction battery) is added to that of the gasol ine
engine via the electric motor (traction motor).
◆When braking (regenerative braking)
The wheels operate the electric motor (traction motor) as a pow er
generator, and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged .
When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, a sound, which
changes in accordance with the driving speed, will be played in order
to warn people nearby of the vehicle’s approach. The sound will stop
when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 25 km/h (15 mph).

WARNING
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death o r serious
injury:
● Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever
to P, and turn the hybrid system off.
● Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.
● If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and Greenland): If
a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline elec-
trolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact
with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large am ount of water
or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical at tention.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (except for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and
Greenland): Do not touch the batte ry if liquid is leaking from or adhering to
it. If electrolyte (carbonic-based organic electrolyte) from th e hybrid battery
(traction battery) comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it could cause
blindness or skin wounds. In the unlikely event that it comes i nto contact
with the eyes or skin, wash it of f immediately with a large amount of water,
and seek immediate medical attention.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (except for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and
Greenland): If electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid battery ( traction bat-
tery), do not approach the vehicle. Even in the unlikely event that the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is damaged, the internal cons truction of
the battery will prevent a large amount of electrolyte from lea king out.
However, any electrolyte that does leak out will give off a vap or. This vapor
is an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (except for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and
Greenland): Do not bring burning or high-temperature items close to the
electrolyte. The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.
● If a fire occurs in the Hybrid Electric Vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as
possible. Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for e lectric fires.
Using even a small amount of water may be dangerous.
● If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the
wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground
when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. Th is may
cause a fire. ( P. 672)
● Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If you find that liquid has
leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged. Leave
the vehicle as soon as possible.
