tem does not provide a locking clip, you can purchase the following item from

any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional:

WARNING

■ When installing a child restraint system

Follow the directions given in the child restraint system installation manual

and fix the child restraint system securely in place.

If the child restraint system is not correctly fixed in place, the child or other

passengers may be seriously injured or even killed in the event of sudden

braking, sudden swerving or an accident.

1

● If the driver’s seat interferes with the

child restraint system and prevents it

from being attached correctly, attach the

child restraint system to the right-hand

rear seat (left-hand drive vehicles) or

the left-hand rear seat (right-hand drive

vehicles).

● Adjust the front passenger seat so that

it does not interfere with the child

restraint system.

●Only put a forward-facing child restraint

system on the front seat when unavoid-

able. When installing a forward-facing

child restraint on the front passenger

seat, move the seat as far back as pos-

sible.

Failing to do so may result in death or

serious injury if the airbags deploy

(inflate).

WARNING

■ When installing a child restraint system

●Never use a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger seat

when the airbag manual on-off switch is

on. (→P. 56)

The force of the rapid inflation of the

front passenger airbag can cause

death or serious injury to children in the

event of an accident.

●There is a label(s) on the passenger

side sun visor, indicating it is forbidden

to attach a rear-facing child restraint

system to the front passenger seat.

Details of the label(s) are shown in the

illustration below.

1-1. For safe use

Exhaust gas precautions

Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust

gases if inhaled.

WARNING

Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to

an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious

health hazard.

■ Important points while driving

● Keep the back door closed.

● If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is

closed, open the windows and have the vehicle inspected at any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-

fessional as soon as possible.

■ When parking

● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a

garage, stop the hybrid system.

●Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space

and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

●Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or

where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the

hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehi-

cle.

■ Exhaust pipe

The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole or

crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be

sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authorized Toyota

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

1-2. Hybrid system

81

Hybrid system features

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different

from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with

the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate it with care.

1

The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and

an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving condi-

tions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emis-

sions.

The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the

actual item.

■ Hybrid System Indicator

Hybrid System Indicator represents the

hybrid system power output and regener-

ative charging. (→P. 118)

■ Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop

The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop

automatically in the following conditions:

● During gasoline engine warm-up

● During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging

● When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low

● When the heater is switched on

■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)

As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-

tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the

vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will

slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once

every few months for at least 30 minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid

battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start

the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or

another duly qualified and equipped professional.

■ Charging the 12-volt battery

→P. 455

■ After the 12-volt battery has discharged 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, contact any

authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped

professional.
