●

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 a fluid leak occurs, do not

touch the fluid as it may be

strong alkaline electrolyte from

the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery). 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 imme-

diate medical attention.

■

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 Electric 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 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. If the hybrid

battery is not disposed of prop-

erly, it may cause electric shock

that can result in death or seri-

ous injury.

1-4. Hybrid system

For
safety and secu

rity

There are air intake vents under
the rear seat for the purpose of
cooling the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
If the vents are blocked, it may
interfere with the cooling of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).

If input/output of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) becomes limited
and the distance that the vehicle
can be driven using the electric
motor (traction motor) is reduced,
the fuel economy may be reduced.

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.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery)

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 vents

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) air intake vents

●

Make sure not to block the air

intake vents with anything, such

as a seat cover, plastic cover, or

luggage.

The input/output of the hybrid

battery (traction battery) may be

restricted, leading to a reduction

in hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) output and a malfunction.

●

Periodically clean the air intake

vents to prevent them from clog-

ging. (

P.481)

●

Do not get water or foreign

materials in the air intake vents

as this may cause a short circuit

and damage the hybrid battery

(traction battery).

sive engine braking and possibly

an accident resulting in death or

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle

of the tachometer enter the red

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating

if the engine coolant tempera-

ture gauge is in the red zone

(H). In this case, immediately

stop the vehicle in a safe place,

and check the engine after it

has cooled completely.
