WARNING
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed
on the vehicle.
If the hose is not properly con-
nected to the valve, air leakage
may occur as sealant may be
sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve
while inflating the tire, there is a
risk that the hose will move
abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has
completed, the sealant may
splatter when the hose is dis-
connected or some air is let out
of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure
to repair the tire. If the proce-
dure is not followed, the sealant
may spray out.
●Keep back from the tire while it
is being repaired, as there is a
chance of it bursting while the
repair operation is being per-
formed. If you notice any cracks
or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and
stop the repair operation imme-
diately.
●The repair kit may overheat if
operated for a long period of
time. Do not operate the com-
pressor continuously for more
than 40 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become
hot during operation. Be careful
handling the repair kit during
and after operation. Do not
touch the metal part connecting
the bottle and the compressor. It
will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other
than the one indicated. If the
sticker is attached to an area
where an SRS airbag is located,
such as the pad of the steering
wheel, it may prevent the SRS
air bag from operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid
sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a
low speed. Be especially careful
when turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive
straight or you feel a pull
through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the fol-
lowing:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130
kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar) or less,
the tire may be severely dam-
aged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emer-
gency repair
●Perform the emergency repair
without removing the nail or
screw that has punctured the
tread of the tire. If the object
that has punctur ed the tire is
removed, repair by the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
may not be possible.
●The repair kit is not waterproof.
Make sure that the repair kit is
not exposed to water, such as
when it is being used in the rain.

When trouble arises
6 Open and close any of the
doors of your vehicle with the
power switch OFF.
7 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start
the EV system of your vehi-
cle by turning the power
switch to ON.
8 Make sure the “READY” indi-
cator comes on. If the indica-
tor light does not come on,
contact your Toyota dealer.
9 Once the EV system has
started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse
order from which they were
connected.
10 Close the positive (+) battery
terminal cover.
Once the EV system starts,
have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
■Starting the EV system when
the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The EV system cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights, the air
conditioning system, the audio
system, etc. while the EV system
is off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt
battery will discha rge gradually even
when the vehicle i s not in use, due
to natural dischar ge and the drain-
ing effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the EV system may be
unable to start. (The 12-volt battery
recharges automatically while the
EV system is operating.)
■When the 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●Information stored in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery
is depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged. Use the
wireless remote c ontrol or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The EV system may not start on
the first attempt a fter the 12-volt
battery has recharged but will start
normally after the second attempt.
This is not a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the
system will return to the mode it
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●If the 12-volt battery discharges, it
may not be possible to shift the
shift position to o ther positions. In
this case, the vehicle cannot be
towed without lifting both front
wheels because the front wheels
will be locked.
●The power back door (if equipped)

When trouble arises
1 Stop the EV system. Set the
parking brake and shift the
shift position to P.
2 Remove the mud, snow or
sand from around the stuck
tire.
3 Place wood, stones or some
other material under the front
wheels to help provide trac-
tion.
4 Restart the EV system
5 Shift the shift position to D or
R and release the parking
brake. Then, while exercising
caution, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the
vehicle
Press to turn off TRAC.
(  P.388)
WARNING
●Keep hands and clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler)
away from the fan. Failure to do
so may cause the hands or
clothing to be caught, resulting
in serious injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir cap while the EV system
and radiator are hot. High tem-
perature steam or coolant could
spray out.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Add coolant slowly after the EV
system has cooled down suffi-
ciently. Adding cool coolant to a
hot EV system too quickly can
cause damage to the EV system.
■To prevent damage to the
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as
sand or dust, etc.).
●Do not use water or any other
coolant when refilling coolant.
Also, do not use any additive
agents for the coolant.
If the vehicle becomes
stuck
Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or
the vehicle becomes stuck
in mud, dirt or snow:

tion on uniform tire quality grad-
ing.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer
any questions you may have as you
read this information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to
these grades. Quality grades
can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum
section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative perfo rmance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. Performance may differ
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and
C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades
of a tire assume tha t it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions avec les couss-
ins gonflables SRS
Respectez les précautions suiva-
ntes concernant les coussins gon-
flables SRS.
À défaut, des blessures graves,
voire mortelles, pourraient
s’ensuivre.
●Le conducteur et tous les pas-
sagers à bord du véhicule
doivent porter leur ceinture de
sécurité correctement.
Les coussins gonflables SRS
sont des disposit ifs de protec-
tion complémentaires aux cein-
tures de sécurité.

AVERTISSEMENT
●N’utilisez pour les sièges aucun
accessoire venant recouvrir les
parties où se déploient les cous-
sins gonflables SRS latéraux,
car il risquerait d’en gêner le
déploiement. De tels acces-
soires peuvent empêcher les
coussins gonflables SRS
latéraux de s’activer correcte-
ment, neutraliser le système ou
provoquer le déploiement acci-
dentel des coussins gonflables
SRS latéraux, provoquant ainsi
des blessures graves, voire
mortelles.
●Ne pas faire subir de chocs vio-
lents ni des pressions exces-
sives aux parties renfermant les
composants des coussins gon-
flables SRS, ni aux portes
avant.
En effet, cela pour rait entraîner
un mauvais fonctionnement des
coussins gonflables SRS.
●Ne touchez auc un composant
du système immédiatement
après le déclenchement
(déploiement) des coussins
gonflables SRS, car ils sont
alors encore très chauds.
●Si vous avez des difficultés à
respirer après le déploiement
des coussins gonflables SRS,
ouvrez une porte ou une vitre
pour faire entrer de l’air frais, ou
bien descendez du véhicule si
cela ne présente pas de danger.
Retirez tout résidu dès que pos-
sible afin d’éviter d’éventuelles
irritations de la peau.
●Si les parties renfermant les
coussins gonflables SRS, par
exemple la garniture centrale du
volant de direction et les garni-
tures des montants avant et
arrière, sont abîmées ou cra-
quelées, faites-les remplacer
par votre concessionnaire Toy-
ota.
●Ne rien poser sur le siège du
passager avant, comme un
coussin par exemple. Cela a
pour conséquence de répartir le
poids du passager sur toute la
surface du siège, ce qui
empêche le capteur de détecter
normalement le poids du pas-
sager. En conséquence, les
coussins gonflables SRS fron-
taux du passager avant peuvent
ne pas se déployer en cas de
collision.
■Modification et élimination en
fin de vie des éléments du
système de coussins gonfla-
bles SRS
Ne mettez pas à la casse votre
véhicule et ne lui apportez aucune
des modifications suivantes sans
consulter votre concessionnaire
Toyota. Les coussins gonflables
SRS peuvent ne pas fonctionner
correctement ou se déployer (se
gonfler) accidentellement, provo-
quant ainsi des blessures graves,
voire mortelles.
●Installation, dépose, démon-
tage et réparations des couss-
ins gonflables SRS
●Réparations, modifications,
démontage ou remplacement
du volant de direction, du tab-
leau de bord, de la planche de
bord, des sièges ou de leur gar-
nissage, des montants avant,
latéraux et arrière, des rails
latéraux de toit, des panneaux
de portes avant, des garnitures
