●

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.

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery)

●

Never resell, hand over or mod-

ify the hybrid battery. To prevent

accidents, hybrid batteries that

have been removed from a dis-

posed vehicle are collected

through your Toyota dealer. Do

not dispose of the battery your-

self.

Unless the battery is properly col-

lected, the following may occur,

resulting in death or serious

injury:
• The hybrid battery may be ille-

gally disposed of or dumped,

and it is hazardous to the envi-

ronment 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 bat-

tery 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 hav-

ing 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 bat-

tery must be disposed of by

your Toyota dealer or a qualified

service shop. If the hybrid bat-

tery is not disposed of properly,

it may cause electric shock that

can result in death or serious

injury.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) air intake vents

Do not carry large amounts of

water such as water cooler bottles

in the vehicle. If water spills onto

the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery), the battery may be dam-

aged. Have the vehicle inspected

by your Toyota dealer.

Hybrid battery (traction
battery) air intake vent

1-4. Hybrid system

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 mini-
mize the risk of electrocution
and fuel leakage. If the emer-
gency shut off system activates,

your vehicle will not restart. To
restart the hybrid system, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

A message is automatically dis-
played 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. (

P.474)

■

If a warning light comes on, a

warning message is displayed,

or the 12-volt battery is discon-

nected

The hybrid system may not start. In

this case, try to start the system

again. If the “READY” indicator does

not come on, contact your Toyota

dealer.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) air intake vent

●

Do not place objects that will

block the air intake vents. The

hybrid battery (traction battery)

may become limited and be

damaged.

●

Clean the air intake vents regu-

larly to prevent the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery) to be

limited.

●

Do not allow liquid or foreign

material to enter the air intake

vent as this may cause a short

circuit and damage the hybrid

battery (traction battery).

●

A filter is installed to the air

intake vent. When the filter

remains noticeably dirty even

after cleaning the air intake

vent, filter cleaning or replace-

ment is recommended. Refer to

P.439for details on how to clean

the filters.
