461-1. For safe use
Exhaust gas precau-
tions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the trunk lid closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in
the vehicle even when the trunk
lid is closed, open the windows
and have the vehicle inspected
at your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the
hybrid system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the hybrid system on for a long
time.
If such a situation cannot be
avoided, park the vehicle in an
open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the
vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the hybrid system
operating in an area with snow
build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the hybrid sys-
tem is operating, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be
checked periodically. If there is a
hole or crack caused by corro-
sion, damage to a joint or abnor-
mal exhaust noise, be sure to
have the vehicle inspected and
repaired by your Toyota dealer.

471-2. Child safety

For safety and security
1-2.Child safety
Riding with children
Observe the following pre-
cautions when children are
in the vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child,
until the child becomes
large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact
with the shift lever, wiper
switch, etc.
 Use the rear door child-pro-
tector lock or the window
lock switch to avoid children
opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power
window accidentally.
( P.132, 152)
 Do not let small children
operate equipment which
may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power
window, hood, trunk, seats,
etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle, and never allow
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the
vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral. There is also a danger
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof (if equipped)
or other features of the vehicle. In
addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures
inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

491-2. Child safety
1
For safety and security
WARNING
●For effective protection in auto-
mobile accidents and sudden
stops, a child must be properly
restrained, using a seat belt or
child restraint system which is
correctly installed. For installa-
tion details, ref er to the opera-
tion manual enclosed with the
child restraint system. General
installation instruction is pro-
vided in this manual.
●Toyota strongly urges the use of
a proper child restraint system
that conforms to the weight and
size of the child, installed on the
rear seat. According to accident
statistics, the child is safer when
properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
●Holding a child in your or some-
one else’s arms is not a substi-
tute for a child restraint system.
In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield
or between the holder and the
interior of the vehicle.
■Handling the child restraint
system
If the child restraint system is not
properly fixed in place, the child or
other passengers may be seri-
ously injured or even killed in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving, or an accident.
●If the vehicle were to receive a
strong impact from an accident,
etc., it is possib le that the child
restraint system has damage
that is not readily visible. In
such cases, do not reuse the
restraint system.
●For Puerto Rico: Depending on
the child restraint system, instal-
lation may be difficult or impos-
sible. In those cases, check
whether the child restraint sys-
tem is suitable for installment in
the vehicle. (
P.55) Be sure to
install and observe the usage
rules after carefully reading the
child restraint system fixing
method in this manual, as well
as the operation manual
enclosed with the child restraint
system.
●Except for Puerto Rico: Make
sure you have complied with all
installation instructions provided
with the child restraint system
manufacturer and that the sys-
tem is properly secured.
●Keep the child restraint system
properly secured on the seat
even if it is not in use. Do not
store the child restraint system
unsecured in the passenger
compartment.
●If it is necessary to detach the
child restraint system, remove it
from the vehicle or store it
securely in the trunk.

open.
●Sounds may be heard from the
transmission when the gasoline
engine starts or stops, when driv-
ing at low speeds, or during idling.
●Engine sounds may be heard
when accelerating sharply.
●Sounds may be heard due to
regenerative braking when the
brake pedal is depressed or as
