WARNING
• Take due care for not allowing rain to enter. If the power outlet
is wet with raindrops, dry it
before use.
• Prevent the cord from being caught in the window or door
• Allow slack in a connected cord. Do not cause it to be extraordi-
nary tense.
• Do not start off the vehicle by mistake.
●Do not refuel or wash the vehi-
cle when using a power outlet.
●Make sure that the hood is
closed.
As the engine will start automati-
cally depending on the condition
of the vehicle, make sure that
nothing is left near or contacting
the exhaust pipes.
Also, do not put your head or
hands anywhere inside the
engine compartment, as the cool-
ing fan may operate suddenly.
Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, scarf, etc.) away from
the fan as they may get caught in
a fan.
●Do not stop the vehicle near
objects which burn easily.
If the exhaust system is extremely
hot, it may cause a fire.
●Do not use in places where cor-
rosive gases or fluids are gener-
ated.
●The gasoline engine starts auto-
matically when the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) decreases.
When using a power outlet in an
area with poor ventilation or an
enclosed area, such as a
garage or a place where snow
has piled up, properly use an air
intake and exhaust device to
prevent lack of oxygen and full-
ness of exhaust gas. If such
device cannot be used, do not
use the power outlet.
■Use of a power outlet while
driving
●In situations such as the follow-
ing, do not use an electric
device while driving. Also, do
not use a device if it cannot be
secured within the vehicle.
• When a device is likely to dis- tract the driver and be a hin-
drance to safe driving, such as
a TV, video/DVD player, etc.
• When an inadequately secured device is likely to fall over in
case of sudden braking or an
accident
• When a device is likely to cause fire if it falls or generates heat
• When a device is likely to cause burns, such as a toaster, micro-
wave, electric heater, electric
kettle, coffee maker, etc.

Observe the following precau-
tions before starting the power
supply:
Park the vehicle in a well-ven-
tilated area, avoiding loca-
tions with poor ventilation
such as garages, as the
engine may start while the
system is operating.
 Park the vehicle on a solid
and level place.
Block the wheels as needed.
Check that the hood is closed.
 Check that the parking brake
is engaged.
 Check that the shift position is
in P.
 Check that the power switch
is off.
 Note that the alarm system
WARNING
• When a device is likely to fall
under the pedals and prevent
the brake pedal from being
depressed, such as a hair dryer,
AC adapter, mouse, etc.
●Do not use devices which pro-
duce steam while the windows
are closed. Doing so may cause
the windows to fog up, reducing
visibility and making it difficult to
drive safely. Also, the steam
may damage or negatively
affect other devices. If the
device must be used, stop the
vehicle and open the windows
before use.
NOTICE
■To avoid short circuit or mal-
function
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may lead to
the power outlets not operating
correctly or damage to the vehicle
or a connected device.
●Do not set a toaster or other
device which generates heat
near the interior components or
on a seat. Heat may cause
these parts to melt or burn.
●Do not use devices which are
sensitive to vibration or heat in
the vehicle. These devices may
malfunction due to vibration
while driving or heat while the
vehicle is parked in the sun.
●When not using a power outlet,
make sure to close the lid. If for-
eign matter or a liquid enters the
power outlet, it may cause a
malfunction or short circuit.
■Using the power outlet while
parked or stopped
●Water may leak from the
exhaust pipe while the engine
running if the power outlet is
used for a long time. However,
this is not a malfunction.
●At extremely low temperatures,
water may freeze in the exhaust
pipe and make it difficult to start
the engine, or an odor may
come from the exhaust pipe. In
this case, stop using the power
outlet, and then drive the vehi-
cle for 15 to 30 minutes.

■When turning the power
outlets off
Follow the procedure described
below:
1 Turn the connected devices
off.
2 Press the AC 120 V switch to
turn the power outlet off.
3 Disconnect each plug from

■When connecting a device
Make sure to read the instruc-
tion manual which came with a
device and observe warnings on
the device.
Before connecting a device to
the power outlet, make sure that
the power of the electrical
device is turned off. 1
Open the lid, and fully and
securely insert the plug of the
device into the power outlet.
Do not leave the plug halfway
inserted.
In the following situations, use
cable extension, etc. and con-
nect the plug securely to the
power outlet:
• When the plug of a device is
too large to allow it to be
inserted fully and securely
into the power outlet.
• When the plug of a device is heavy, possibly causing it to
come off the power outlet.
If the device to be used has a
ground wire, use the power out-
let in the luggage compartment,

10 Attach the sticker provided
with the tire puncture repair
kit to a position easily seen
from the driver’s seat.
11 Check the specified tire infla-
tion pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified
on the label on the driver’s side pil- lar as shown. (

pressor switch on.

5808-2. Steps to take in an emergency
14Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0
kgf/cm
2 or bar) and 58 psi
(400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar),
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
be displayed the actual tire
inflation pressure about 1 to
5 minutes after the switch is
turned on.
Turn the compressor switch off and
then check the tire inflation pres-
sure. Being careful not to over
inflate, check and repeat the infla-
tion procedure until the specified
tire inflation pressure is reached.
The tire can be inflated for about 5
to 20 minutes (depending on the
outside temperature). If the tire
inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after inflation for
25 minutes, the tire is too damaged
to be repaired. Turn the compres-
sor switch off and contact your
Toyota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds
the specified air pressure, let out
some air to adjust the tire inflation
pressure. (

15With the compressor switch
off, disconnect the hose from
the valve on the tire and then
pull out the power plug from
the power outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak when the
hose is removed.
16Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency
repaired tire.
17Attach the air release cap to the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not
attached, the sealant may leak and
the vehicle may get dirty.
18Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment
while it is connected to the
compressor.
