For safety and security
■Charging the 1 2-volt battery
 P. 5 4 0
■After the 12-volt battery has dis-
charged or when the terminal
has been removed and installed
during exchange, etc.
The gasoline engine may not stop
even if the vehicle is being driven by
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
If this continues for a few days, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
■Sounds and vibrations specific
to a Hybrid Electric Vehicle
There may be no engine sound or
vibration even though the vehicle is
able to move with the “READY” indi-
cator is illuminated. For safety, apply
the parking brake and make sure to
shift the shift lever to P when
parked.
The following sounds or vibrations
may occur when the hybrid system
is operating and are not a malfunc-
tion:
●Motor sounds may be heard from
the engine compartment.
●Sounds may be heard from the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
under the rear seats when the
hybrid system starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a
snap or soft clank will be emitted
from the hybrid battery (traction
battery), under the rear seats,
when the hybrid system is started
or stopped.
●Sounds may be heard from the
transmission when the gasoline
engine starts or stops, when driv-
ing at low speeds, or during idling.
●Engine sounds may be heard
when accelerating sharply.
●Sounds may be heard due to
regenerative braking when the
brake pedal is dep ressed or as
the accelerator pedal is released.
●Vibration may be felt when the
gasoline engine starts or stops.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from the air intake vents on the
both sides of th e behind the sec-
ond seat.
■Maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regard-
ing maintenance, repair, recycling
and disposal. Do n ot dispose of the
vehicle yourself.
When the gasoline engine is off
while driving, a sound is pro-
duced to warn pedestrians, peo-
ple riding bicycles or other
people and vehicles in the sur-
rounding area that the vehicle is
approaching. The pitch of the
sound adjusts according to vehi-
cle speed. When vehicle speed
is approximately 22 mph (35
km/h) or more, the warning sys-
tem turns off.
■Acoustic vehicle alerting sys-
tem
In the following cases, the acoustic
vehicle alerting system sound may
be difficult for pedestrians, people
riding bicycles or other people and
vehicles in the surrounding area to
hear:
●When there is a lot of noise in the
vicinity
●When it is raining or during strong
winds

For safety and security
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel
and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel th e vehicle with at
least enough gasoline to make the
low fuel level warning light ( P.515)
go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, th e hybrid system
may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 15.2 L
[4.0 gal., 3.3 Imp. gal.] when the
vehicle is on a level surface. This
value may vary whe n the vehicle is
on a slope. Add extra fuel when the
vehicle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorpo-
rate electromagnetic shielding,
and therefore emi t approximately
the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gaso-
line powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in so me third party-
produced radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (tr action battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
has a limited service life. The lifes-
pan of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) can change in accordance
with driving style and driving condi-
tions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is extremely cold (below
approximately -31°F [-35°C]) under
the influence of t he outside tem-
perature, it may no t be possible to
start the hybrid system. In this case,
try to start the hybrid system again
after the temperature of the hybrid
battery increases due to the outside
temperature increase etc.
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC
and AC systems as well as a 12-
volt system. DC and AC high volt-
age is very dangerous and can
cause severe burns and electric
shock that may result in death or
serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble,
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables or their con-
nectors.
●The hybrid system will become
hot after starting as the system
uses high voltage. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the
high temperature, and always
obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service
plug access hole located under
the right side o f the rear seat.
The service plug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced
and is subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous injury:
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place
to prevent subsequent acci-
dents. While depressing the
brake pedal, apply the parking
brake and shift the shift lever to
P to stop the hybrid system.
Then, slowly release the brake
pedal

that these system s are not avail-
able to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by you r Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
