WARNING
●When securing some types of
child restraint systems in rear
seats, it may not be possible to
properly use the seat belts in
positions next to the child
restraint without interfering with
it or affecting se at belt effective-
ness. Be sure your seat belt fits
snugly across your shoulder
and low on your hips. If it does
not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, mo ve to a differ-
ent position. Failure to do so
may result in death or serious
injury.
■When installing a booster
seat
To prevent the belt from going
into ALR lock mode, do not fully
extend the shoulder belt. ALR
mode causes the belt to tighten
only. This could cause injury or
discomfort to the child. ( P.33)
■Do not use a seat belt
extender
If a seat belt extender is used
when installing a child restraint
system, the seat belt will not
securely hold th e child restraint
system, which could cause death
or serious injury to the child or
other passengers in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerv-
ing or an accident.

Plug-in hybrid system
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor,
the emergency shut off system
blocks off the high voltage cur-
rent and stops the fuel pump to
minimize the risk of electrocu-
tion and fuel leakage.
If the emergency shut off system
activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid sys-
tem, contact 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
that case, try to start the system
again. If the “READY” indicator does
not come on, contact your Toyota
dealer.
NOTICE
●If the vehicle has not been refu-
eled for a certain amount of time
and it is possible that the quality
of the fuel remaining in the tank
has changed, “No New Fuel has
been Added Recently Please
refuel” is displayed on the multi-
information display when the
power switch is turned to ON. If
the message is displayed, refuel
the vehicle immediately.

the vehicle may incorrectly indicate
that the opened/closed status of the
charging port lid, or the charging
connector may not be able to
lock/unlock normally.

AC charging cable
The function, correct oper-
ating procedure, etc. of the
AC charging cable are
explained.
WARNING
■When using the AC charging
cable and CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device)
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause an
unexpected accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to disassemble
or repair the AC charging cable,
charging connector, plug or
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device).
If a problem arises with the AC
charging cable or the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device), stop charging immedi-
ately and contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not subject the AC charging
cable, charging connector, plug
or CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) to strong force
or impact.
●Do not apply excessive force to
the AC charging cable by force-
fully folding, twisting, pulling or
dragging the AC charging cable.
●Do not damage the AC charging
cable with sharp objects.
●Do not fold the charging con-
nector or plug or insert foreign
objects into them.
●Do not put the charging connec-
tor and plug into water.
●Do not bring the AC charging
cable to a high-temperature
item such as a heating device.
●Do not apply a load to the AC
charging cable and plug-cord
(such as wrapping the AC
charging cable around the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) and the charging con-
nector).
●Do not use or leave the AC
charging cable in situations
where a load is applied to the
outlet and the plug (such as
when the CCID (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device) is
hanging in the air without con-
tacting the ground).
NOTICE
■Precautions when handling
AC charging cable
Make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions. Failure to
observe these precautions may
result in damage to the AC
charging cable and AC charging
inlet.
●Insert the charging connector
straight into the AC charging
inlet.
●After inserting the charging con-
nector, do not apply excessive
force to or twis t the connector.
Also, do not lean on the connec-
tor or hang any objects from it.
●Do not step on or trip over the
AC charging cable.
●Before removing the charging
connector, make sure that it is
unlocked. ( P.102)
●After removing the AC charging
cable, promptly return it to its
proper location.

■Locking the charging con-
nector
The charging connector will be
automatically locked when
inserting it into the AC charging
inlet.
(The setting can be changed:
 P.103)
■Unlocking the charging
connector
The AC charging connector will
be unlocked when the doors are
unlocked using the smart key
system or wireless remote con-
trol.
The AC charging connector
locks when connected and
unlocks when the door is
unlocked, so locking/unlocking
the AC charging connector does
not necessarily correspond to
locking/unlocking the door.
WARNING
●The plug is not dirtied by dust
etc.
Remove the plug from the outlet
before inspecting it. If any abnor-
malities are found in the AC
charging cable as a result of the
inspection, immediately stop use
and consult your Toyota dealer.
■Maintaining the AC charging
cable
When the AC charging cable is
dirty, first remove the dirt with a
hard, wringed cloth, and then
wipe the cable with a dry cloth.
However, never wash it with
water. If the AC charging cable is
washed with water, fire or electric
shock may occur during charging,
possibly resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
■When not using the AC
charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the outlet.
Dust could accumulate on the
plug or in the outlet, possibly
causing overheating which could
lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place
free from moisture.
Locking an d unlock-
ing AC char ging con-
nector
The AC charging connector
will be locked when it is
