side collision.
The pretensioners do not activate in the
event of a minor frontal impact, a minor
side impact, a rear impact or a vehicle
rollover.

Always make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of your shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling
off your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an accident and cause death or
serious injuries in the event of a sud- den stop, sudden swerve or accident.

For the safety of a child, install a
child restraint system to a rear seat.
When installing a child restraint
system to the front passenger seat
is unavoidable, adjust the seat as
follows and install the child restraint
system:
 Adjust the seatback angle to the
most upright position.
When installing a forward-facing child
seat, if there is a gap between the child
seat and the seatback, adjust the seat-
back angle until good contact is
achieved.
 Move the front seat fully rear-
ward. If the passenger seat
height can be adjusted, move it
to the upper most position.
 If the head restraint interferes
with the child restraint system
installation and the head
restraint can be removed,
remove the head restraint. Oth-
erwise, put the head restraint in
the upper most position.

982-1. Plug-in hybrid system
WARNING
●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 possi-
ble.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
●Your vehicle contains a sealed lith- ium-ion battery.
●Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery. To prevent acci-dents, hybrid batteries that have
been removed from a disposed vehicle are collected through any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Do not dispose of the bat-tery yourself. Unless the battery is
properly collected, the following may occur, resulting in death or serious injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and it is
hazardous to the environment or someone may touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your Plug-in
Hybrid Electric Vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehi-cle or modified in any way, acci-
dents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage
may occur. When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an
accident is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may not be aware of these dangers.
●If your vehicle is disposed of with-out the hybrid battery having been removed, there is a danger of seri-
ous electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your
vehicle must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer, or a qualified ser-vice shop. If the hybrid battery is
not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving
If the vehicle under floor area
receives strong shock or impact while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe area and check around the bottom of the
vehicle. If there is damage to the hybrid battery (traction battery) or liq-uid leakage, it may lead to a vehicle
fire, etc. Do not touch the vehicle and immediately contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modifications
Do not modify the vehicle to make the height lower.
It is easier for the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) in the under floor area to come in contact with the ground when the vehicle is lowered. If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is damaged, a vehicle fire may occur which could lead to death or serious injury.
