NOTICE

■ When handling jumper cables

When connecting the jumper cables, ensure that they do not become entan-

gled in the cooling fans or belt.

■ Exclusive jump starting terminal

The exclusive jump starting terminal is intended to charge the 12-volt bat-

tery on your vehicle from another vehicle in an emergency. Do not use the

exclusive jump starting terminal to jump start another vehicle.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If your vehicle overheats

The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.

● The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge (→P. 103)

enters the red zone or a loss of hybrid system power is experi-

enced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)

● “Hybrid System Overheated Reduced Output Power” is shown on

the multi-information display.

● Steam comes out from under the hood.

Correction procedures

■ If the needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge enters

the red zone

Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air conditioning

1

system, and then stop the hybrid system.

If you see steam:

2

Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.

If you do not see steam:

Carefully lift the hood.

After the hybrid system has

3

cooled down sufficiently,

inspect the hoses and radia-

tor core

(radiator) for any

leaks.

If a large amount of coolant

leaks, immediately contact

your Toyota dealer.

Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to

6

check that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for

coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.

The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immedi-

ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating by checking

the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air con-

ditioning system on and off repeatedly.

(The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)

7

If the fans are not operating:

Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact your Toyota

8

dealer.

If the fans are operating:

Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Toyota dealer.

■ Messages displays

The message illustrations used are intended as examples, and may differ

from the image that is actually displayed on the multi-information display.

WARNING

■ When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.

● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until

the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.

● After the hybrid system has been turned off, check that the “READY” indi-

cator are off.

When the hybrid system is operating, the gasoline engine may automati-

cally start, or the cooling fans may suddenly operate even if the gasoline

engine stops. Do not touch or approach rotating parts such as the fans,

which may lead to fingers or clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)

getting caught, resulting in serious injury.

● Do not loosen the radiator cap and the coolant reservoir caps while the

hybrid system and radiator are hot.

High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.

NOTICE

■When adding engine/power control unit coolant

Add coolant slowly after the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently.

Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid system too quickly can cause damage to

the hybrid system.

■ To prevent damage to the cooling system

Observe the following precautions:

8

● Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust

etc.).

● Do not use any coolant additive.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle

becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:

1

Stop the hybrid system. Set the parking brake and shift the shift

lever to P.

2

Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the front wheels.

3

Place wood, stones or some other material under the front wheels

to help provide traction.

4

Restart the hybrid system.

Shift the shift lever to D or R and release the parking brake. Then,

5

while exercising caution, depress the accelerator pedal.

■ When it is difficult to free the vehicle

Press

to turn off TRAC.

WARNING

■ When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the

surrounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people.

The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes

free. Use extreme caution.

■ When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.

This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may

cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■ To avoid damaging the transmission and other components

● Avoid spinning the front wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal

more than necessary.

● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,

the vehicle may require towing to be freed.

Vehicle identification

■ Vehicle identification number

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is the legal identifier for

your vehicle. This is the primary identification number for your

Toyota. It is used in registering the ownership of your vehicle.

This number is stamped on the

top left of the instrument panel.

On some models, this number

is stamped under the right-hand

front seat.

This number is also on the Cer-

tification Label.

Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-20

SAE 0W-20 is the best choice

for good fuel economy and

good starting in cold weather.

If SAE 0W-20 is not available,

SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.

However, it must be replaced

with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil

Outside temperature

change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained here as an example):

• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates the characteristic of the oil which

allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow

for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil

when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity

(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is

operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.

How to read oil container label:

The International Lubricant Specification Advisory Committee

(ILSAC) Certification Mark is added to some oil containers to help

you select the oil you should use.
