The vehicle runs in combination with
the gasoline and electric power. Pay
special attention to the following items.
Be careful of high voltage and high
temperature.
Your vehicle is equipped with the orange
colored cables connected to the hybrid
battery (about 200 V) and to other compo-
nents that are all high voltage.
CAUTION
Do not touch or come in contact with
orange cables or battery terminals.
Electric shock may cause serious in-
jury or death. Read all caution labels.
An electric motor, coolant radiator and
some other parts reach high temperature
while driving. Caution labels are applied to
these parts. Carefully observe the instruc-
tions on these caution labels.
CAUTION
Never remove or disassemble any
high voltage part, high voltage cables
(orange color) and their connectors.
It may cause death or serious injury.

Do not touch the service plug.
The service plug is installed in the left
side trim of the luggage compartment. It
is provided to disable high voltage current
from the hybrid battery when the vehicle
is in need of repairs at your Toyota
dealer.
CAUTION
The shaded parts in the illustration
are subjected to high voltage.
Inappropriate handling may cause
an electric shock resulting in seri-
ous injury or death. Never touch
any item in shaded area.
These high voltage parts or cables
consisting of an electromagnetic
shielding structure produce relatively
the same amount of electromagnetic
waves as conventional gasoline
fueled vehicles or home electric ap-
pliances.
As unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of mobile radios, contact
your Toyota dealer for installation or
removal.
Always keep your hybrid vehicle’s driv-
ing characteristics in mind.
CAUTION
The driver should pay full attention
around the vehicle especially when it
is driven only by the electric motor
(with the gasoline engine stopped).
People in the immediate area might
misjudge the hybrid vehicle move-
ment based on the absence of the
regular engine noise.
Precautions for use

INFORMATION
To maintain communication with the
vehicle, smart keys use builtin bat-
tery power. The battery service life
is about 1 to 3 years on average. If
battery power becomes insufficient,
replace the battery with a new one.
The smart key continually receives
electromagnetic waves, and if it re-
ceives strong electromagnetic waves
over a period of time, the battery
can be drastically run down. There-
fore, avoid storing smart keys near
any electrical appliances.Here is a list of electrical ap-
pliances which may have adverse
effects on the smart key perfor-
mance: TVs, personal computers,
cellular phone or cordless phone
recharger units, electric light stands
and fluorescent desk lights
Note that you should always keep
such electrical appliances at least 1
m (3 ft.) away from the smart key.

DEACTIVATING THE SMART FUNCTION
The cancel switch for this function is
located at the bottom of the instrument
panel on the driver side. When you
push the switch, the smart function will
be deactivated. Pushing the switch
again will reactivate the function.
When the smart function is deactivated,
use a mechanical key or wireless remote
control function key to lock and unlock the
doors. To start the hybrid system, insert
a smart key into the key slot. If you do not intend to drive your vehicle
for a long time, push the cancel switch to
deactivate the smart function.

in the following cases:
The cancel switch is turned on.
The smart key is inserted into the
key slot.
The battery of the smart key is dis-
charged.

The seat belt pretensioners are controlled
by the airbag sensor assembly. The airbag
sensor assembly consists of a safing sen-
sor and airbag sensor.
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

assembly. Doing so may prevent the
front airbag system from activating
correctly, cause sudden front air-
bags activation of the system or
disable the system, which could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or serious injury.

(d) Malfunction Indicator Lamp
This lamp comes on when the “IGON”
mode is enabled and goes off after the
hybrid system starts. This means that
the warning light system is operating
properly.
If the lamp remains on or the lamp
comes on while driving, first check the
following:
Empty fuel tank
If the fuel tank is empty, refuel immedi-
ately.
This case is a temporary malfunction. The
malfunction indicator lamp will go off after
taking several driving trips.
If the lamp does not go off even after
several trips, contact your Toyota deal-
er as soon as possible.
There is a problem somewhere in the
engine, hybrid system, throttle control
system or warning light system itself.
Contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible to service the vehicle. Emissions inspection and maintenance
(I/M) programs
Your vehicle may not pass a state emis-
sion inspection if the malfunction indicator
lamp remains on. Contact your Toyota
dealer to check your vehicle’s emission
control system and OBD (On
−Board Diag-
nostics) system before taking your vehicle
for the inspection.
For details, see “Emissions inspection and
maintenance (I/M) programs” on page 394.
(e) Master Warning Light
()
If the master warning light comes on, the
warning light for the faulty system is high-
lighted or the message such as “Please
press “P” to engage Park.” and “The bat-
teries will not be charged if the transaxle
is in Neutral N.” appears on the multi −in-
formation display. (See “Service reminder
indicators and warning buzzers— —Multi −
information display” on page 133 or “Pre-
cautions for use” on page 14 or “Fuel
gauge” on page 122 for instructions.) (f) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the “IG
−ON”
mode is enabled. If the anti −lock brake
system and the brake assist system work
properly, the light turns off after the
“READY” light comes on. Thereafter if the
system malfunctions, the light comes on
again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is on), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
If any of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
somewhere in the parts monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible so
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
“IG −ON” mode is enabled, or the light
remains on after the “READY” light
comes on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
