■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel
and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel th e vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the
low fuel level warning light (
P.375)
go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, the hybrid system
may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 2.0 gal.
[7.6 L, 1.7 I mp. gal.] (2WD models)
Hybrid system precautions
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high
voltage system (about 600 V at maximum) as well as contains
parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is
operating. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

or 1.6 gal. [6.0 L, 1.3 Imp. gal.]
(AWD models) when the vehicle is
on a level surface. This value may
vary when the vehicle is on a slope.
Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
hybrid vehicles incorporate elec-
tromagnetic shielding, and there-
fore emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves
as conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic
appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in some third
party-produced radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
has a limited service life. The lifes-
pan of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) can change in accordance
with driving style and driving condi-
tions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is extremely cold (below
approximately -22°F [-30°C]) under
the influence of t he outside tem-
perature, it may no t be possible to
start the hybrid system. In this case,
try to start the hybrid system again
after the temperature of the hybrid
battery increases due to the outside
temperature increasing, etc.
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC
and AC systems as well as a
12-volt system. DC and AC high
voltage is very dangerous and
can cause severe burns and elec-
tric shock that may result in death
or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble,
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables or their con-
nectors.
●The hybrid system will become
hot after starting as the system
uses high voltage. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the
high temperature, and always
obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service
plug access hole located under
the right side o f the rear seat.
The service plug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced
and is subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous 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.

WARNING
●If a fire occurs in the hybrid
vehicle, leave the vehicle as
soon as possible. Never use a
fire extinguisher that is not
meant for electric fires. Using
even a small amount of water
may be dangerous.
●If your vehicle needs to be
towed, do so with front wheels
(2WD models) or four wheels
(AWD models) raised. If the
wheels connected to the electric
motor (traction motor) are on
the ground when towing, the
motor may continue to generate
electricity.This may cause a fire.
(
P.366)
●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.
●Do not touch the battery if liquid
is leaking from or adhering to it.
If electrolyte (carbonic-based
organic electrolyte) from the
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 into
contact with the eyes or skin,
wash it off immediately with a
large amount of water, and seek
immediate medical attention.
●If electrolyte is leaking from the
hybrid battery (traction battery),
do not approac h the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is damaged, the internal
construction of the battery will
prevent a large amount of elec-
trolyte from leaking out. How-
ever, any electrolyte that does
leak out will give off a vapor.
This vapor is an irritant to skin
and eyes and could cause acute
poisoning if inhaled.
●Do not bring burning or
high-temperature items close to
the electrolyte.
The electrolyte may ignite and
cause a fire.
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery)
●Your vehicle contains a sealed
lithium-ion battery.
●Never resell, hand over or mod-
ify the hybrid battery. To prevent
accidents, hybrid batteries that
have been removed from a dis-
posed vehicle are collected
through Toyota dealer. Do not
dispose of the battery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly col-
lected, the following may occur,
resulting in dea th or serious
injury:
• The hybrid batte ry may be ille-
gally disposed of or dumped,
and it is hazardous to the envi-
ronment or someone may touch
a high voltage part, resulting in
an electric shock.

For safety and security
There are air intake vents under the left side of the rear seat with
the purpose of cooling the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
If the vents are blocked, it may
interfere with the cooling of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
If input/output of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) becomes
limited and the distance that the
vehicle can be driven using the
electric motor (traction motor) is
reduced, the fuel economy may
be reduced.
WARNING

861-4. Hybrid system
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor,
the emergency shut off system
blocks the high voltage current
and stops the fuel pump to mini-
mize the risk of electrocution
and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates,
your vehicle will not restart. To
restart the hybrid system, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction
occurs in the hybrid 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.
■If a warning light comes on, a
warning message is displayed,
or the 12-volt battery is discon-
nected
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system
again. If the “READY” indicator does
not come on, contact your Toyota
dealer.
