2-1. Electric vehicle system
■Charging the traction battery
Be sure to maintain the traction battery charge level suitable for your driving needs.
If the traction battery fully discharges, the vehicle cannot be driven at all. When the battery becomes low, charge it as
soon as possible.
■If the traction battery becomes low
●If the traction battery becomes low,
the traction battery charge warning light comes on or flashes and a mes-sage will be displayed on the multi-
information display. ( P.517)
●If the traction battery is completely
discharged, the EV system cannot be started and driving will not be possi-ble. When the traction battery
becomes low, charge it as soon as possible.
■Sounds and vibrations specific to an battery electric vehicle
Because there is no engine sound or vibration, it is easy to mistake the bat-tery electric vehicle for being off when it
is actually still running, as indicated by the “READY” indicator being illuminated. For safety, make sure to always shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake when parked.
Before and after the EV system is
started, the following sounds and vibra- tions may occur. However, these sounds and/or vibrations are not signs of mal-
functions:
●The brake system operation sound
may be heard from the front of the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened.
●Motor sounds may be heard from the motor compartment or luggage com-
partment.
●Electrical relay sounds may be heard
from the motor compartment when the EV system starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the traction battery in the following sit-
uations:
• When the EV system is started or stopped• When charging starts or completes
• When the vehicle is driven the first time after the traction battery has been charged using DC charging
●Sounds may be heard due to regener-ative braking when the brake pedal is
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
●Cooling fan operating sounds from the radiator.
●The operation sound of the air condi-tioning system (air conditioning com-pressor, blower motor).
■Maintenance, repair, recycling, and
disposal
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
A sound which changes in accor-
dance with the driving speed, will
be played in order to warn people
nearby of the vehicle’s approach.
This sound may be heard inside the
vehicle. The sound will stop when
the vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 25 km/h (15 mph).
■Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
In the following cases, the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System may be difficult
for surrounding people to hear.
●In very noisy areas
●In the wind or the rain
Also, as the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System is installed on the front of the

■Electromagnetic waves
●High-voltage parts and cables on the battery electric vehicles incorporate electro-magnetic shielding, and there-
fore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehi-
cles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
■Traction battery (Lithium-ion bat-tery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability
to store energy) reduces with time and use in the same way as other recharge-able batteries. The extent at which
capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside temperature, etc.) and usage conditions,
such as how the vehicle is driven and how the traction battery is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-
ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also, even though the driving range decreases when the traction battery
capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse. In order to reduce the possibility of the
capacity reducing, follow the directions listed on P.119, “Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.
■Starting the EV system in an
extremely cold environment
When the traction battery is extremely cold (below approximately -30°C [-
22°F]) due to the temperature outside of
the vehicle, it may not be possible to start the EV system. In this case, try to
start the EV system again after the tem- perature of the traction battery increases due to the outside temperature increas-
ing, etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High-voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-tem.
DC and AC high voltage systems are very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that
may result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high voltage parts,
cables (orange) or their connectors.
●The EV system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture, and always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

Electric Vehicle system
Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic, etc. Shift the shift
position to P when parking. When
shifting the shift position to N while
driving, there is no positive effect
on electricity consumption. In the N,
the traction battery cannot be
charged. Also, when using the air
conditioning system, etc., the trac-
tion battery electricity is consumed.
( P.248)
Repeated acceleration and decel-
eration due to traffic congestion,
long waits at traffic lights, and driv-
ing on steep inclines will lead to
poor electricity consumption. In
order to avoid those situations as
much as possible, check traffic
reports before leaving. If the vehicle
is driven in traffic congestion, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly,
avoid overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help minimize
unnecessary electricity consump-
tion.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Control and maintain the vehicle at
a constant speed. Before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow
plenty of time to release the accel-
erator and gently apply the brakes.
A greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated when
slowing down.

driving tips
Unlike the conventional vehi-
cles, the electricity consump-
tion efficiency of battery
electric vehicles will decline if
they continue driving on high-
ways (or freeways) or at high
average speeds, causing the
possible driving distance to
reduce. Therefore, if the
remaining charge of the trac-
tion battery is low, avoid rely-
ing on the displayed possible
driving distance too much as
well as driving on highways (or
freeways). Driving the vehicle
at moderate speeds, the trac-
tion battery’s electricity con-
sumption can be controlled.
The following driving tips will
contribute to reduction in the
battery consumption and
increase in the driving range.

Use the air conditioning only
when necessary. Doing so can
help reduce excessive electricity
consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the
burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce electricity consumption as
well.
In winter: Excessive or unnecessary
heating should be avoided. Also, elec-
tricity consumption can be improved by
avoiding overuse of the heater.
 When using the Remote Air Con-
ditioning System ( P.427) while
the AC charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, electricity
consumption immediately after
starting off will be reduced
because air conditioning is oper-
ated mainly using electricity from
an external power source.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor
electricity consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads will lead to poor electricity
consumption. Use tires that are
appropriate for the season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor electricity consumption. Avoid
carrying unnecessary luggage.

Electric Vehicle system
A value for which a sufficient level
of driving performance can be pro-
vided is estimated based on the
remaining charge of the traction
battery, the state of the traction bat-
tery, the outside temperature, etc.,
and is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display. ( P.172)
When the outside temperature is
low, the traction battery output may
be decreased, causing the possible
driving distance to be shorter. How-
ever, this is not a malfunction.
Charge the traction battery earlier
than usual.
Possible driving distance varies sig-
nificantly depending on how the
vehicle is driven, road conditions,
the weather, the outside tempera-
ture, usage conditions of electrical
components and the number of
occupants.
Possible driving distance could be
extended if the followings are per-
formed:
 Maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front and avoid unnec-
essary acceleration and deceler-
ation
 Accelerate and decelerate the
vehicle as smoothly as possible
 Drive at moderate speeds as
much as possible and maintain a
constant speed
 Set the air conditioning system to
a moderate temperature and
avoid using the heating and cool-
ing functions excessively.
 Use tires of the specified size
and maintain the specified tire
pressure
 Do not add unnecessary weight
to the vehicle
The followings indicate that
charging has been carried out prop-
erly.
 The charging indicator turns off
 “Charging complete” is displayed
on the multi-information display
when a door is opened while the
power switch is off. ( P.117)
Regardless of the type of power
source or whether the charging
schedule function is used, charging
is completed if the above can be

days and the traction battery heater
automatically stops. It automatically
insulates the traction battery in
extremely low temperatures.
 This control stops 31 days after
the charging cable is connected,
even if it is still connected to the
vehicle.
 When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts
immediately.
■Traction battery cooler
When the traction battery is hot and
the AC charging cable is connected
to the vehicle, this function cools
the traction battery to protect it.
The function may operate when
continuously driving at high speeds
such as driving on highways or
freeways, or during DC charging.
■Using My Room Mode during DC charging
 P. 1 4 6
■Traction battery heater
●Traction battery heater may operate when charging is not being performed.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-ating, the charging indicator will illumi-
nate.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-
ating during charging, the charging may take longer than normal.
●The remaining charge of the traction battery declines when the traction bat-tery heater operates, it might be nec-
essary to recharge the traction battery again in order to supplement the remaining charge.
■Traction battery cooler
●For AC charging: Traction battery cooler settings can be changed on the
multi-information display. ( P.115)
●The charging indicator will illuminate
when the traction battery cooler is on standby or operating.
●When the charge level of the traction battery is low, the traction battery cooler may not operate, even if the
temperature of the traction battery is high.
●When the following conditions are met while the traction battery cooler is operating, the cooling operation will
stop. • The hood is opened• The power switch is turned to ACC or
ON. • The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( P.427) • The remaining charge of the traction
battery drops below a certain amount
●The traction battery cooler operates
using power supplied by the traction battery and an external power source.• While the traction battery cooler is
operating, the charge of the traction battery will increase and decrease within a certain range, and will not
increase as during AC charging. • When the traction battery cooler oper-ates, charger will recognize it as the
battery being charged. If this function operates while a charger which charges a charging fee is connected
to the vehicle, AC charging fees will apply.
■Changing of the traction battery cooler setting
Setting can be changed on the
multi-information display.
Use the meter control switches
( P.176) and select “Vehicle Settings”, “Charging Settings”, “Battery Cooler”, and change the setting.
