When the seat belt pretensioners are acti-
vated, an operating noise may be heard
and a small amount of non−toxic gas may
be released. This does not indicate that
a fire is occurring. This gas is normally
harmless.
Once the seat belt pretensioners have
been activated, the seat belt retractors
remain locked.
CAUTION
Do not modify, remove, strike or open
the seat belt pretensioner assemblies,
airbag sensor or surrounding area or
wiring. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may prevent the seat belt pre-
tensioners from activating correctly,
cause sudden operation of the system
or disable the system, which could
result in death or serious injury. Con-
sult your Toyota dealer about any re-
pair and modification.
NOTICE
Do not perform any of the following
changes without consulting your
Toyota dealer. Such changes can in-
terfere with proper operation of the
seat belt pretensioners in some
cases.
 Installation of electronic devices
such as a mobile twoway radio,
cassette tape player or compact
disc player
 Repairs on or near the front seat
belt retractor assemblies
 Modification of the suspension sys-
tem
 Modification of the front end struc-
ture
 Attachment of a grille guard (bull
bar, kangaroo bar, etc.), snowplow,
winches or any other equipment to
the front end
 Repairs made on or near the front
fenders, front end structure or con-
sole

(g) SRS Warning Light
This light will come on when the “IG
ON” mode is enabled. After about 6
seconds, the light will go off. This
means the system of the airbag and
front seat belt pretensioners are operat-
ing properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors,
driver ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat
belt buckle switch, front passenger ’s seat
belt buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner

(i) Low Fuel Level Indicator Light
This light blinks when the fuel level in the

At the first blinking of the light, the mes-
sage appears on the display to remind the
driver to fill fuel.
Contact your Toyota dealer in the following
case:
All the segments blink.
(j) Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light (for vehicles sold in U.S.A.)
This light acts as a reminder to replace
the engine oil.
This light will come on when the “IG −ON”
mode is enabled, and will go off after
about a few seconds. When you drive for about 7200 km (4500
miles) after engine oil replacement, this
light illuminates for about 3 seconds and
then flashes for about 12 seconds when
the hybrid system is in the “IG
−ON”
mode. If you continue driving without en-
gine oil replacement, and if the driving
range exceeds 8000 km (5000 miles), the
light will come on after the “IG −ON” mode
is enabled. The light will remain on there-
after.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that
you replace the engine oil at an early
opportunity depending on the driving and
road conditions. If the light comes on,
replace the oil as soon as possible.
The system must be reset after the en-
gine oil replacement. Reset the system by
the following procedure:
1. Press the “POWER” switch to the “OFF” mode
with the odometer reading
shown. (For details, see “Odometer and
two trip meters” on page 115.)
2. Press the “POWER” switch twice to select the “IG −ON” mode while holding
down the trip meter reset button.

Precautions for useof hybrid vehicle
The vehicle has both high voltage
DC and AC systems as well as a
12volt system. DC and AC high
voltage are both very dangerous
and can cause death or serious inju-
ry, severe burns and electric shock.
In order to avoid personal in-
juries, do not touch the high
voltage cables (orange col-
ored) and their connectors.
Follow the caution labels at-
tached to the high voltage
parts.
Do not remove or replace the
high voltage parts such as
the inverter unit (located in
the engine compartment), hy-
brid vehicle battery (located
behind rear seat), etc.
Do not touch the service plug
located in the left side trim
of the luggage compartment
without hybrid system techni-
cal training. (See “Precau-
tions for use” on page 14 in
Section 12.) This component
is provided to disable the
high voltage system in case
of servicing at a Toyota deal-
er.
CAUTIONIf an accident occurs
Pull your vehicle off the road,
push the “P” position switch,
stop the hybrid system and if
the key is inserted into key
slot, remove it.
In order to avoid personal in-
juries, do not touch any high
voltage wirings and their con-
nectors, and high voltage
parts (inverter unit, hybrid ve-
hicle battery, etc.).
If some exposed electric
wires are protruding inside or
outside of your vehicle, an
electric shock may occur.
Never touch the electric
wires.
If fluid leaks or gets in some
parts of the vehicle, never
touch it because it may be
electrolyte (strong alkali) from
the hybrid vehicle battery. If
it gets into your skin or eyes,
wash off immediately with a
large amount of water, if pos-
sible, boric acid solution, and
get immediate medical atten-
tion in order to help avoid
serious injury.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extin-
guish it using a fire extin-
guisher for the exclusive use
on electric fires. Or, use a
large amount of water to pre-
vent flammable gas from be-
ing generated from the batter-
ies.
