Automatic Collision Notification

In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the
system is designed to automatically call the response center. The
responding  agent  receives  the  vehicle’s  location  and  attempts  to
speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency.
If  the  occupants  are  unable  to  communicate,  the  agent  automati-
cally  treats the call  as  an  emergency,  contacts  the  nearest emer-
gency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that
assistance be sent to the location.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local author-
ities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing
a police report, call the Safety Connect response center at 1-855-
405-6500 in the United States, 1-877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico or 1-

Exposure to radio frequency signals

The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power
radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August  1996,  the  Federal  Communications  Commission  (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards  previously  set  by  the  following  U.S.  and  international
standards bodies.

●

ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992]

●

NCRP (National  Council  on  Radiation  Protection  and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]

●

ICNIRP  (International  Commission  on  Non-Ionizing  Radiation
Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers,  and  physicians  from  universities,  and  government  health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in
addition to those standards.

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.
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.

◆

When stopped/during start off 

The  gasoline  engine  stops

*

,  when  the  vehicle  is  stopped.  During

start  off,  the  electric  motor  (traction  motor)  drives  the  vehicle. At
slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine is
stopped

*

 and the electric motor (traction motor) is used. 

When the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
not being charged.

*

: When  the  hybrid  battery  (traction  battery)  requires  charging  or  the

engine  is  warming  up,  etc.,  the  gasoline  engine  will  not  automatically
stop. (



P. 77)

◆

During normal driving

The  gasoline  engine  is  predominantly  used.  The  electric  motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as nec-
essary.

◆

When accelerating sharply

When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid  battery  (traction  battery)  is  added  to  that  of  the  gasoline
engine via the electric motor (traction motor).

◆

When braking (regenerative braking)

The wheels operate the electric motor (traction motor) as a power
generator, and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged.

When  driving  with  the  gasoline  engine  stopped,  a  sound,  which
changes in accordance with the driving speed, will be played in order
to warn people nearby of the vehicle’s approach. The sound will stop
when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).

Regenerative braking

In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).

●

The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or S.

●

The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or S.

■

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 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start
the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer. 

■

Charging the 12-volt battery



P. 488

■

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 your
Toyota dealer.

The  EV  indicator  comes  on  when  the
vehicle  is  driven  using  only  the  electric
motor  (traction  motor)  or  the  gasoline
engine is stopped.

Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to
move with the “READY” indicator 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 malfunction:

●

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 sys-
tem is started or stopped.

●

Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid is open.

●

Sounds  may  be  heard  from  the  transmission  when  the  gasoline  engine
starts or stops, when driving 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
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.

●

1-3. Hybrid system

There  is  an  air  intake  vent  under
the  right  side  of  the  rear  seat  for
the  purpose  of  cooling  the  hybrid
battery  (traction  battery).  If  the
vent  becomes  blocked,  charging/
discharging  of  the  hybrid  battery
(traction battery) may become lim-
ited.

When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and stops
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If
the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart.
To restart the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.

A  message  is  automatically  displayed  when  a  malfunction  occurs  in
the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the  message  and  follow  the
instructions. (

■

Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started,
refuel  the  vehicle  with  at  least  enough  gasoline  to  make  the  low  fuel  level
warning  light  (



P.  456)  go  off.  If  there  is  only  a  small  amount  of  fuel,  the

hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about
2.3 gal. [8.8 L, 1.9 Imp. gal.] when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.)

■

Electromagnetic waves

●

High  voltage  parts  and  cables  on  hybrid  vehicles  incorporate  electromag-
netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec-
tromagnetic  waves  as  conventional  gasoline  powered  vehicles  or  home

WARNING

■

High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-
tem.  DC  and AC  high  voltage  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  voltage  parts,
cables or their connectors.

●

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.

●

Do  not  touch  the  service  plug  located
under the right side of the rear seat. The
service plug is used only when the vehi-
cle  is  serviced  and  is  subject  to  high
voltage.

Road accident cautions

Observe  the  following  precautions  to  reduce  the  risk  of  death  or  serious
injury:

●

Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever
to P, and turn the hybrid system off.

●

Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.

●

If  electric  wires  are  exposed  inside  or  outside  your  vehicle,  an  electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.

●

If  a fluid  leak occurs,  do  not touch  the fluid  as it  may be strong  alkaline
electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact
with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water
or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.

●

If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for electric fires. Using even
a small amount of water may be dangerous.

●

If  your  vehicle  needs  to  be  towed,  do  so  with  front  wheels  raised.  If  the
wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground
when  towing,  the  motor  may  continue  to  generate  electricity.  This  may
cause a fire. (



P. 449)

●

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 possible.

●

If  electrolyte  is  leaking  from  the  hybrid  battery  (traction  battery),  do  not
approach the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that the hybrid battery (traction battery) is dam-
aged, the internal construction of the battery will prevent a large amount
of electrolyte from leaking out. However, any electrolyte that does leak out
will give off a vapor. This vapor is an irritant to skin and eyes and could
cause acute poisoning if inhaled.

WARNING

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

●

Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery. To prevent accidents,
hybrid batteries that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are col-
lected through Toyota dealer. Do not dispose of the battery 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 haz-

ardous 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 hybrid

vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified
in any way, accidents 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  without  the  hybrid  battery  having  been
removed, there is a danger of serious 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  your
Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery is not dis-
posed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or
serious injury.

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When  operating  the  multi-information  display  while  driving,  pay  extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you  may  fail  to  see  pedestrians,  objects  on  the  road,  etc.  ahead  of  the
vehicle.

■

The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed. 
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift  again,  causing  rapid  and  excessive  engine  braking  and  possibly  an
accident resulting in death or injury.

■

Cautions during setting up the display

As  the  hybrid  system  needs  to  be  running  during  setting  up  the  display,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed  area  such  as  a  garage,  exhaust  gases  including  harmful  carbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or
a serious health hazard.
