Make sure that the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals are not corroded
and that there are no loose con-
nections, cracks, or loose
clamps.
Terminals
Hold-down clamp
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery installed on the vehicle, be
sure to disconnect the ground
cable.
●Make sure the charger is off when
connecting and disconnecting the
charger cables to the 12-volt bat-
tery.
■After recharging/reconnecting
the 12-volt battery (vehicles
with a smart key system)
●Unlocking the doors using the
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the 12-volt battery. If this
happens, use the wireless remote
control or the mechanical key to
lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the hybrid system with the
power switch in ACC. The hybrid
system may not start with the
power switch turned off. However,
the hybrid system will operate nor-
mally from the second attempt.
●The power switch mode is
recorded by the vehicle. If the
12-volt battery is reconnected, the
vehicle will return the power
switch mode to the status it was in
before the 1 2-volt battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off
the power before disconnecting
the 12-volt battery. Take extra
care when connecting the 12-volt
battery if the power switch mode
prior to discharge is unknown.
If the system will not start even after
multiple attempts, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level
to go down slightly as the brake
pads wear out or when the fluid
level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent
refilling, there may be a serious
problem.

Front
To equalize tire wear and extend
tire life, Toyota recommends that
tire rotation is carried out at the
same interval as tire inspection.
Do not fail to initialize the tire pres-
sure warning system after tire rota-
tion.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
tire pressure warning system
that uses tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters to detect
low tire inflation pressure before
serious problems arise.
The tire pressure warning sys-
tem of this vehicle adopts a
2-type warning system.
 When “Adjust Pressure” is
displayed (Normal Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure
warning light and warning buzzer
when there is an unknown level of
low tire pressure with the appear-
ance of the tire due to natural air
leakage as well as the pressure
lowering due to changes in the
pressure according to the outside
temperature. (Ways of coping: 
P.376, 426)
 When “Immediately Check
Tire when Safe” is displayed
(Emergency Warning)
A warning with the tire pressure
warning light and warning buzzer
when there is a k nown level of low
tire pressure with the appearance
of the tire due to pressure suddenly
lowering. (Ways of coping: P.376,
398)
However, the system may not be
able to detect sudden tire ruptures
(bursting, etc.).
The tire pressure detected by the
tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
■How to change the unit
4.2-inch display
1 Park the vehicle in a safe
place and turn the power
switch off.
Changing the unit cannot be per-
formed while the vehicle is moving.
2Turn the power switch to ON.

• If tires not equipped with tire pres-
sure warning valves and transmit-
ters are used.
• If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is
not registered in the tire pressure
warning computer.
●Performance may be affected in
the following situations.
• Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station,
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio
waves or electrical noise.
• When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or
other wireless communication
device.
●When the vehicle is parked, the
time taken for the warning to start
or go off could be extended.
●When tire inflation pressure
declines rapidly for example when
a tire has burst, the warning may
not function.
■Warning performance of the tire
pressure warning system
The warning of the tire pressure
warning system will change in
accordance with driving conditions.
For this reason, the system may
give a warning even if the tire pres-
sure does not reach a low enough
level, or if the p ressure is higher
than the pressure that was adjusted
to when the system was initialized.
When replacing tires or wheels,
tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters must also be
installed.
When new tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters are installed, new ID codes must be
registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire
pressure warning system must
be initialized. Have tire pressure
warning valves and transmitter
ID codes registered by your Toy-
ota dealer. (
P.336)
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID code of the tire pressure
warning valve and tr ansmitter is not
registered, the tire pressure warning
system will not work properly. After
driving for about 20 minutes, the tire
pressure warning light blinks for 1
minute and stays on to indicate a
system malfunction.

• Vehicle is driven on unpaved roads
• If wheel position registration does
not complete afte r driving for 1
hour or more, park the vehicle in a
safe place for approximately 15
minutes and then drive the vehicle
again.
●If the vehicle is reversed during
wheel position registration, all
data collected until then will be
cleared. Perform driving again.
In the following situations, it will
be necessary to perform the tire
inflation pressure setting proce-
dure of the tire pressure warning
system.
 When the specified tire infla-
tion pressure has changed,
such as due to carried load,
etc.
 When the tire inflation pres-
sure is changed such as
when the tire size is changed.
If the tire inflation pressure has
been adjusted to the specified
level, perform the t ire inflation set-
ting procedure by selecting speci-
fied inflation pressure on the
multi-information display.
When the tire inflation pressure is
to be other than specified, such as
when tires other th an the specified
size are used, etc., set the tire infla- tion pressure using the current
pressure. Make sur
e to adjust the
tire inflation pressure of each tire to
the appropriate level before per-
forming tire press ure setting. The
