alarm system.)
●The doors are unlocked using the mechanical key.
●A person inside the vehicle opens a door or hood, or unlocks the vehicle
using an inside lock button.
●The 12-volt battery is disconnected.
( P.547)
■Alarm-operated door lock
In the following cases, depending on the situation, the door may automatically lock to prevent improper entry into the
vehicle:
●When a person remaining in the vehi-
cle unlocks the door and the alarm is activated.
●While the alarm is activated, a person remaining in the vehicle unlocks the door.
●When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery.
■The intrusion sensor and tilt
sensor detection
 The intrusion sensor detects
intruders or movement in the
vehicle.
 The tilt sensor detects changes
in vehicle inclination, such as
when the vehicle is towed away.
This system is designed to deter
and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security
against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor
and tilt sensor
The intrusion sensor and tilt sensor
will be set automatically when the
alarm is set. ( P. 7 7 )
■Canceling the intrusion sensor
and tilt sensor
If you are leaving pets or other
moving things inside the vehicle,
make sure to disable the intrusion
sensor and tilt sensor before setting
the alarm, as they will respond to
movement inside the vehicle.
1 Turn the power switch off.
NOTICE
■To ensure the system operates correctly
Do not modify or remove the system. If modified or removed, the proper operation of the system cannot be
guaranteed.

Electric Vehicle system features
Battery electric vehicles are cons iderably different from conven-
tional vehicles.
They use electricity charged in a traction battery, to drive th e elec-
tric motor. Since battery electric vehicles are driven using el ectric-
ity, they do not emit any emissions such as CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides). Battery electric vehicles are enviro n-
mentally friendly vehicles.

12-volt battery
Provides electricity to various vehicle systems such as the SRS airbags, headlights,
wipers, etc.
*: AWD models only
■When braking (regenerative
braking)
The battery electric motor (traction
motor) charges the traction battery.
The driving range can be extended
by actively using this regenerative
braking to store electricity in the
traction battery.
The battery electric vehicle is
driven using electricity, which is
received from an external power
source and stored in the traction
battery. Not only public charging
stations, but also household sock-
ets can be used for charging. Pro-
cedures are different from refueling
a conventional vehicle. Therefore,
make sure to read the following
thoroughly.
 Charging equipment (P.95)
 AC charging cable (P. 9 8 )
 Power sources that can be used
( P.112)
 Things to know before charging
( P.118)
 How to charge your vehicle
( P.121, 129)
 When charging cannot be per-
formed normally ( P.152)
■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
traction battery.
●The accelerator pedal is released
while driving with the shift position in D.
●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The 12-volt battery is charged from the
traction battery when the EV system is operated or while the traction battery is being charged.
If the vehicle has not been used for a long time, the 12-volt battery may become low due to self-discharge. If this
occurs, follow the correct procedures. ( P.544)
■When not using the vehicle for an
extended period of time
●When the vehicle will not be used for
an extended period of time, charge the traction battery once a month. This protects the traction battery from
extreme voltage decline due to self discharging.
●When the vehicle will not be used for an extended period of time, the 12-volt battery will be charged from the
traction battery to reduce the risk of the 12-volt battery discharged. In this case, the cooling fan may operate,
however it is not a malfunction.
●To prevent the 12-volt battery from
being discharged, do not leave the charging port lid open or the charging cable connected to the vehicle.

■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

Electric Vehicle system precautions
Be careful of the high voltage components (nominal voltage at 3 55.2
V), such as the traction battery , electricity supply unit, orange
colored high voltage cables, and electric motor, as well as hig h tem-
perature components such as the cooling radiator, which are pro -
vided on the battery electric vehicle. For the high voltage
components, warning labels are provided on them. Read them when
they need to be handled.
