Approximately five hours after
the hybrid system is turned off,

you may hear sound coming
from under the vehicle for sev-
eral minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage
check and, it does not indicate a
malfunction.

A wide variety of non-genuine
spare parts and accessories for
Toyota vehicles are currently
available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their per-
formance, repair, or replace-
ment, or for any damage they
may cause to, or adverse effect
they may have on, your Toyota
vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modi-
fied with non-genuine Toyota
products. Modification with non-
genuine Toyota products could
affect its performance, safety or
durability, and may even violate
governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from
the modification may not be cov-
ered under warranty.

Also, remodeling like this will
have an effect on advanced
safety equipment such as
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and
there is a danger that it will not

work properly or the danger that
it may work in situations where it
should not be working.

Installing electronic devices and
radios increases the risk of
cyber attacks through the
installed parts, which may lead
to unexpected accidents and
leakage of personal informa-
tion. Toyota does not make any
guarantees for problems caused
by installing non-genuine Toyota
products.

The installation of a mobile two-
way radio system in your vehicle
could affect electronic systems
such as:



Hybrid system



Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel
injection system



Toyota Safety Sense 3.0



Anti-lock brake system



SRS airbag system



Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your
Toyota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions
regarding installation of a mobile
two-way radio system.

High voltage parts and cables

on the Hybrid Electric Vehicles
emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic
waves as the conventional gas-
oline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.

Unwanted noise may occur in
the reception of the mobile two-
way radio.

This vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that
record certain data regarding
vehicle controls and operations.

■

Data recorded by the com-

puters

: The recorded data varies

according to the vehicle grade
level and options with which it is

In addition to the above, Toyota
may disclose the data recorded
by the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
to a third party in the following
situations:



When separate consent of the
vehicle owner (or the lessee if
the vehicle is leased) has
been given. This includes sit-
uations when the user sub-

The Magnuson-Moss Warranty
Act, 15 U.S.C. s.2301 et seq.,
makes it illegal for motor vehicle
manufacturers to void a motor
vehicle warranty or deny war-
ranty coverage solely because
an aftermarket or recycled part
has been used to repair the
vehicle or someone other than
the authorized service provider
performed service on the vehi-
cle. This provision does not
apply to a new motor vehicle
purchased solely for commercial
or industrial use.

Under federal law, a manufac-
turer may deny warranty cover-
age and charge for repairs to a

vehicle if it is discovered that an
aftermarket or recycled part
installed on the vehicle is defec-
tive or was installed incorrectly
and caused damage to another
part of the vehicle otherwise
covered under warranty. The
Federal Trade Commission
requires that a manufacturer
demonstrate that an aftermar-
ket or recycled part or service
performed by a person other
than an authorized service pro-
vider caused damage to another
part of the vehicle otherwise
covered under warranty before
denying warranty coverage.
Additionally, federal law allows a
manufacturer to void a motor
vehicle warranty or deny war-
ranty coverage if the manufac-
turer provides the article or
service to consumers free of
charge under the warranty or
the manufacturer has secured a
waiver from the Federal Trade
Commission.

This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record

Usage of data collected
through Safety Connect
(U.S.mainland only)

Statement on Warranty
Coverage for Aftermarket
and Recycled Parts (For
U.S. Owners)

Event data recorder

data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data
as:



How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;



Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;



How far (if at all) the driver
was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,



How fast the vehicle was trav-
eling.

These data can help provide a
better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-triv-
ial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a crash
investigation.

To read data recorded by an
EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the

vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufac-
turer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the
information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.



Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota will not disclose the data
recorded in an EDR to a third party
except when:

• An agreement from the vehicle’s

owner (or the lessee for a leased
vehicle) is obtained

• In response to an official request

by the police, a court of law or a
government agency

• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit

However, if necessary, Toyota
may:

• Use the data for research on

vehicle safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party

for research purposes without
disclosing information about the
specific vehicle or vehicle owner

The SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner devices in your
Toyota contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped
with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are,
this may cause an accident such
as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified ser-

WARNING

■

General precautions while

driving

Driving under the influence: Never

drive your vehicle when under the

influence of alcohol or drugs that

have impaired your ability to oper-

ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-

tain drugs delay reaction time,

impair judgment and reduce coor-

dination, which could lead to an

accident that could result in death

or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive

defensively. Anticipate mistakes

that other drivers or pedestrians

might make and be ready to avoid

accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give

your full attention to driving. Any-

thing that distracts the driver,

such as adjusting controls, talking

on a cellular phone or reading can

result in a collision with resulting

death or serious injury to you,

your occupants or others.

■

General precaution regarding

children’s safety

Never leave children unattended

in the vehicle, and never allow

children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the

vehicle or shift the vehicle into

neutral. There is also a danger

that children may injure them-

selves by playing with the side

windows, or other features of the

vehicle. In addition, heat build-up

or extremely cold temperatures

inside the vehicle can be fatal to

children.

■

When installing the driver’s

floor mat

●

Do not use floor mats designed

for other models or different

model year vehicles, even if

they are Toyota Genuine floor

mats.

●

Only use floor mats designed

for the driver’s seat.

●

Always install the floor mat

securely using the retaining

hooks (clips) provided.

●

Do not use two or more floor

mats on top of each other.

●

Do not place the floor mat bot-

tom-side up or upside-down.

1-1. For safe use

For
safety and secu

rity

Adjust the angle of the seat-

back so that you are sitting

straight up and so that you do

not have to lean forward to

steer. (



P.137)

Adjust the seat so that you

can depress the pedals fully

and so that your arms bend

slightly at the elbow when

gripping the steering wheel.

(



P.137)

Lock the head restraint in

place with the center of the

head restraint closest to the

top of your ears. (

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

●

Do not adjust the position of the

driver’s seat while driving.

Doing so could cause the driver

to lose control of the vehicle.

●

Do not place a cushion between

the driver or passenger and the

seatback. A cushion may pre-

vent correct posture from being

achieved, and reduce the effec-

tiveness of the seat belt and

head restraint.

●

Do not place anything under the

front seats.

Objects placed under the front

seats may become jammed in

the seat tracks and stop the

seat from locking in place. This

may lead to an accident and the

adjustment mechanism may

also be damaged.

●

Always observe the legal speed

limit when driving on public

roads.

●

When driving over long dis-

tances, take regular breaks

before you start to feel tired.

Also, if you feel tired or sleepy

while driving, do not force your-

self to continue driving and take

a break immediately.

Seat belts

Make sure that all occu-

pants are wearing their seat

belts before driving the

vehicle.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions

to reduce the risk of injury in the

event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

Failure to do so may cause death

or serious injury.

■

Wearing a seat belt

●

Ensure that all passengers wear

a seat belt.

●

Always wear a seat belt prop-

erly.

●

Each seat belt should be used

by one person only. Do not use

a seat belt for more than one

person at once, including chil-

dren.

●

Toyota recommends that chil-

dren be seated in the rear seat

and always use a seat belt

and/or an appropriate child

restraint system.

●

To achieve a proper seating

position, do not recline the seat

more than necessary. The seat

belt is most effective when the

occupants are sitting up straight

and well back in the seats.

●

Do not wear the shoulder belt

under your arm.

●

Always wear your seat belt low

and snug across your hips.

■

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear

the seat belt in the proper way.

(



P.32)

Women who are pregnant should

position the lap belt as low as

possible over the hips in the same

manner as other occupants,

extending the shoulder belt com-

pletely over the shoulder and

avoiding belt contact with the

rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn prop-

erly, not only the pregnant

woman, but also the fetus could

suffer death or serious injury as a

result of sudden braking or a colli-

sion.
