stable power supply
●Devices that require a constant
power supply from the power out-
let, such as a device with a timer.
■When the power supply func-
tion cannot be used
If the “AC120V” switch is pressed
but the switch indicator does not illu-
minate, the protection circuit may
have operated.
In this case, perform the appropriate
procedures as follows.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the p ower outlets,
check that the total power con-
sumption of all devices to be con-
nected to the power outlets,
reconnect the devices and then
press the “AC120V” switch again.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the p ower outlets,
check that the devices are not
malfunctioning, reconnect the
devices and then press the
“AC120V” switch again.
●If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been parked under the
sun, move the vehicle to a shaded
area, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to sufficiently cool the interior,
and then press the “AC120V”
switch again.
If the power outlets cannot be used
even after performing the appropri-
ate procedures above, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●If any electrical device has mal-
functioned, park the vehicle in a
safe location and turn the
“AC120V” switch off.
●If the protection f unction activates
and power is cut, perform the fol-
lowing procedure.
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place
and set the parking brake.
2 Ensure that the shift lever is in P
or N. 3
Check that the power consumed
by the electrical devices is within
400 W and any device has not
malfunctioned.
4 Press the “AC120V” switch.
If the inside of the vehicle is hot,
open the windows to lower the tem-
perature and turn the switch back on
once the inside of the vehicle
reaches a normal temperature. If
following the procedure above does
not restore power, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.

WARNING
●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.
●Do not use damaged electronic
devices. The power supply
function may not be able to be
used.
●Do not disconnect the plug of a
device while your hands are wet
or insert a pin or other object
into the pow er outlet. Also, if a
liquid or snow is on the power
outlet, dry the outlet before
using it.
●Do not attempt to modify, disas-
semble or repair a power outlet.
For information on repairs, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not let children touch the
power outlets.
●Keep the power outlets free of
dust and foreign matter. Also,
regularly clean the power outlet.
●If the plug of a device fits
loosely in a pow er outlet, even
though it is fully inserted,
replace the power outlet. For
information on replacement,
contact your Toyota dealer.
■Using the power outlets while
parked or stopped
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, possibly resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the hybrid system
is operating and a device is con-
nected to a power outlet.
●Do not place luggage or get
near the vicinit y of the tailpipe.
●Make sure that the hood is
closed. Do not put your head or
hands anywhere inside the
engine room, as the cooling
fans may operate suddenly. If
too close, hands and clothing
(especially a tie, scarf, etc.) may
get caught in a fan.
●Do not stop the vehicle near
objects which burn easily.
●Install and use appropriately
related devices to make air sup-
ply and exhaust ventilation pos-
sible in places where ventilation
is bad, such as within garages,
and places where the vehicle is
surrounded (places where snow
accumulates).
●Do not use in places where ven-
tilation is bad, such as within
garages where there are no air
supply and exhaust ventilation
devices, and places where the
vehicle is surrounded (places
where snow accumulates, etc.).
●Do not use the power outlets if
the vehicle has a vehicle cover
installed.
●Do not sleep in the vehicle while
using devices such as an elec-
tric heater.
■Devices to be connected

■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use a polis h wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the dr iver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types
of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
cause streaks or damage to
painted surfaces:
• Areas other than the seats and steering wheel: Organic sub-
stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as thinner, benzene,
and alcohol
• Steering wheel: Organic sub- stances, such as thinner, and
cleaner that contains alcohol
●Do not use a polish wax or pol-
ish cleaner. The instrument

■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.

vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the v ehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the
audio system may be damaged if
water comes into contact with
electrical components such as the
audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may
also cause the body to rust.

tact the lens. Also, do not touch
the lens. ( P.244)

Maintenance and care
 Remove dirt using a water-
dampened soft cloth or syn-
thetic chamois.
 Wipe the surface with a dry,
soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture.
■Cleaning the areas with satin-
finish metal accents
The metal areas use a layer of real
metal for the surface. It is necessary
to clean them regularly. If dirty areas
are left uncleaned for long periods
of time, they may be difficult to
clean.
 Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
 Wipe off any excess dirt and
dust with a soft cloth damp-
ened with diluted detergent.
Use a diluted water solution of
approximately 5% neutral wool
detergent.
Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off all rem aining traces
of detergent.
 Wipe the surface with a dry,
soft cloth to remove any
remaining moisture. Allow the leather to dry in a shaded and
ventilated area.
■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the
interior of the vehicle at least twice a
year to maintain t he quality of the
vehicle’s interior.
 Remove dirt and dust using a
vacuum cleaner.
 Wipe it off with a soft cloth
dampened with neutral deter-
gent diluted to approximately
1%.
 Wring out any excess water
from the cloth and thoroughly
wipe off remaining traces of
detergent and water.
