Installation of an RF-transmitter system
As the installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection system/sequential
multi-port fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock brake sys-
tem, SRS airbag system or seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check
with any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional for precautionary measures or special instructions
regarding installation.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is
available on request at any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Scrapping your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. 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 systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional, before you scrap your vehicle.

Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
The accelerator pedal is released while driving with shift position D or B
selected.
The brake pedal is depressed while driving with shift position D or B
selected.
When stopped/during take-off
The gasoline engine stops when the vehicle is stopped. During
take-off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. At
slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine
is stopped and the motor is used.
During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as
necessary.
When accelerating sharply
The power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added via
electric motor (traction motor) to that of the gasoline engine.
When braking (Regenerative brake)
The electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery).

Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, the followings
are examples of conditions under which the engine may not stop automati-
cally:
The gasoline engine is warming up.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) temperature is low or high.
The temperature setting of the air conditioning system is high.
Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine or regenerative brake charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery), the battery does not need to be charged from an out-
side source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a long time the
hybrid battery will slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the
vehicle at least once every several months for at least 30 minutes or 16
km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery becomes fully discharged and you are
unable to jump-start the vehicle with the 12-volt battery, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
If the shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shift
position in D or B to avoid discharging the battery.
Charging the 12-volt battery
P. 478
After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or
removed
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running on the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.

Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able
to move. Always push the P position switch and set the parking brake when
parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is
operating, and are not a malfunction.
Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind
the rear seat when the hybrid system starts or stops.
Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is
open.
Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine
starts or stops, when driving at low speeds, or during idling.
Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
Sounds may be heard due to regenerative brake when you press the
brake pedal or release the accelerator pedal.
Other sounds, such as motors and mechanical noises, may be heard
from the brake system when the brake pedal is depressed.
Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.
You may hear cooling fan sounds coming from the air intake vents behind
the rear seat.
Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and dis-
posal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.

CAUTION
Emergency shut off system
Carefully check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts or cables.
Never touch the parts or cables. (P. 34)
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.
Road accident cautions
If your vehicle is involved in an accident, observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place to prevent subsequent accidents. While
depressing the brake pedal, apply the parking brake and push the P posi-
tion switch to stop the hybrid system. Then, slowly release the brake
pedal.
Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.
If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch it as it may be strong alkaline electrolyte
from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact with your
skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water or if pos-
sible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.
If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for electric fires. Using even
a small amount of water may be dangerous.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with the front wheels raised. If the
wheels with the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground when
towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may cause an
electricity leakage leading to a fire. (P. 423)
Nickel-metal hydride battery
Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of
improperly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe
burns and electrical shock that may result in death or serious injury.
