WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failing to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■Closing the power windows
●The driver is responsible for all
the power window operations,
including the operation for the
passengers. In order to prevent
accidental operation, especially
by a child, do not let a child
operate the power windows. It is
possible for children and other
passengers to have body parts
caught in the power window.
Also, when riding with a child, it
is recommended to use the win-
dow lock switch. ( P.229)
●Check to make sure that all pas-
sengers do not have any part of
their body in a position where it
could be caught when a power
window is being operated.
●When using the wireless remote
control or mechanical key and
operating the power windows,
operate the power window after
checking to make sure that
there is no possibility of any
passenger having any of their
body parts caught in the side
window. Also, do not let a child
operate the power window by
the wireless remote control or
mechanical key. It is possible
for children and other passen-
gers to get caught in the power
window.
●When exiting the vehicle, turn
the power switch to OFF, carry
the key and exit the vehicle
along with the child. There may
be accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly
lead to an accident.

2405-1. Before driving
ventional vehicles, and it is neces-
sary to refrain from activities such
as sudden acceleration. Refer to
“Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle driv-
ing tips”. ( P.88)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
( P.163)
It is easier to driv e in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to
the ECO Accelerator Guidance dis-
play. Also, by using the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance it is easier to
increase the “Eco Score” evaluation.
●When starting off:
While staying within the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance range, gradually
depress the accelerator pedal and
accelerate to the desired speed. If
excessive acceleration is avoided,
the “Start” score will increase.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance range. By keeping the vehicle
within the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance range, the “C ruise” score will
increase.
●When stopping:
When stopping the vehicle, early releasing the accelerator pedal will
cause the “Stop” sco
re to increase.
■Restraining the hybrid system
output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 600 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle
registration laws and confirm the
availability of th e correct fuel.
(  P.601)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indi cator is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.

WARNING
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a
difficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay response in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
●The driver should pay extra
attention to pedestrians when
the vehicle is powered only by
the electric motor (traction
motor). As there is no engine
noise, the pedestrians may mis-
judge the vehicle’s movement.
Even if the Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System is operating,
drive with care as pedestrians in
the vicinity may still not notice
the vehicle if the surrounding
area is noisy.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable
materials such as leaves, paper
or rags.
The exhaust system and
exhaust gases can be
extremely hot. These hot parts
may cause a fire if there is any
flammable material nearby.
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the hybrid system. Turn-
ing the hybrid s ystem off while
driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost mak-
ing it difficult to steer smoothly
before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining
charge in the 12-volt battery or
usage conditions. In this situa-
tion, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In the event of an emergency,
such as if it be comes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal
way:  P.547
●Use engine braking (downshift)
to maintain a safe speed when
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness.
( P.256)
●Do not adjust the position of the
steering wheel, the seat, inside
rear view mirror (if equipped),
Digital Rear-view Mirror (if
equipped) or outside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may resu lt in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, head or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.

The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
consists of the driving
assist systems and contrib-
utes to a safe and comfort-
able driving experience:
WARNING
■Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
operates under the assumption
that the driver will drive safely,
and is designed to help reduce
the impact to the occupants in a
collision and assist the driver
under normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of
recognition accuracy and control
performance that this system can
provide, do not overly rely on this
system. The driver is solely
responsible for paying attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and
driving safely.
■For safe use
●Do not overly rely on this sys-
tem. The driver is solely respon-
sible for paying attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and driv-
ing safely. This system may not
operate in all situations and pro-
vided assistance is limited.
Over-reliance on this system to
drive the vehicle safely may
lead to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the system, as it may
not operate properly, possibly
leading to an accident.
●If attention is necessary while
performing driving operations or
a system malfunction occurs, a
warning message or warning
buzzer will be operated. If a
warning message is displayed
on the display, follow the
instructions displayed.
●Depending on external noise,
the volume of the audio system,
etc. it may be difficult to hear the

Walls
*: Detected as a detectable object
only when being ridden.
■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a collision
is high, a buzzer will sound and
an icon and warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
If the detectable object is a vehi-
cle, moderate braking will be
performed with the warning.
If the system determines that
the accelerator pedal is strongly
depressed, the following icon
and message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
WARNING
■For safe use
●Driving safely is solely the
responsibility of the driver. Pay
careful attention to the sur-
rounding conditions in order to
ensure safe driving.
Never use the pre-collision sys-
tem in place of normal braking
operations. This system cannot
help avoid or reduce the impact of
a collision in every situation.
Over-reliance on this system to
drive the vehicle safely may lead
to an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
●Although the pre-collision sys-
tem is designed to help avoid or
help reduce the impact of a col-
lision, its effectiveness may
change according to various
conditions. Therefore, it may not
always be able to achieve the
same level of performance.
Read the following items care-
fully. Do not overly rely on this
system and always drive care-
fully.

3065-5. Using the driving support systems
When the function is operat-
ing, if the vehicle is likely to
depart from its lane, the driver
will be alerted via a display
and buzzer.
When the buzzer sounds, check
the area around the vehicle and
carefully operate the steering wheel
to move the vehicle back to the
center of the lane.
WARNING
■Before using the LTA system
●Do not overly rely on the LTA
system. The LTA system is not
a system which provides auto-
mated assistance in driving and
it is not a system which reduces
the amount of attention neces-
sary for safe driv ing. The driver
is solely responsible for paying
attention to their surroundings
and operating the steering
wheel as necessary to ensure
safety. Also, the driver is
responsible for taking adequate
breaks when fatigued, such as
when driving for a long time.
●Failure to perform appropriate
driving operations and pay care-
ful attention may lead to an
accident.
●When not using the LTA sys-
tem, turn it off using the LTA
switch.
