WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
● It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the following sit-
uations. In such cases, report to emergency services provider ( 112 sys-
tem, etc.) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cellular phone service area, i t may be
difficult to connect to the eCall control center if the recepti on is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempt s to con-
nect to the eCall control center, you may not be able to connec t to the
eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emerge ncy
services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, th e Emer-
gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, in dicator
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connect ing
the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emerge ncy
Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts t o
connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot conn ect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the syst em may
not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish
without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for appr oximately 30
seconds to indicate this disconnection.
● If the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the
system may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
● The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area, depend-
ing on the available infrastructure in the country.
■ When the Emergency Call system is replaced with a new one

Hybrid system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the
actual item.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high volt -
age system (about 600 V*1 or 650 V*2 at maximum) as well as
contains parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid sys-
tem is operating. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.

There is an air intake vent under
the right side of the rear seat for
the purpose of cooling the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If the
vent becomes blocked, it may
cause the input-output of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) to
be limited.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor , the
emergency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and s tops
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel le akage. If
the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart.
To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota ret ailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in
the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the
instructions.

■If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the
12-volt battery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact any authorized To y o t a
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.
■ Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cann ot be started,
refuel the vehicle with at leas t enough gasoline to make the low fuel level
warning light ( P. 685) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about
7.5 L [2.0 gal., 1.7 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when th e vehicle is
inclined.)
■ Electromagnetic waves
● High voltage parts and cables on Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorporate elec-
tromagnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the sam e amount
of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehic les or
home electronic appliances.
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service lif e. The lifespan of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving
style and driving conditions.
■ Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulati on ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).

WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12 -volt sys-
tem. DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause sev ere
burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious in jury.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts,
cables or their connectors.
● The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses high
voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempe rature, and
always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.
● Never try to open the service plug
access hole located under the right side
of the rear seat. The service plug is
used only when the vehicle is serviced
and is subject to high voltage.

WARNING
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death o r serious
injury:
● Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever
to P, and turn the hybrid system off.
● 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.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and Greenland): If
a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline elec-
trolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact
with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large am ount of water
or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical at tention.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (except for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and
Greenland): Do not touch the batte ry if liquid is leaking from or adhering to
it. If electrolyte (carbonic-based organic electrolyte) from th e hybrid battery
(traction battery) comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it could cause
blindness or skin wounds. In the unlikely event that it comes i nto contact
with the eyes or skin, wash it of f immediately with a large amount of water,
and seek immediate medical attention.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (except for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and
Greenland): If electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid battery ( traction bat-
tery), do not approach the vehicle. Even in the unlikely event that the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is damaged, the internal cons truction of
the battery will prevent a large amount of electrolyte from lea king out.
However, any electrolyte that does leak out will give off a vap or. This vapor
is an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
● 2ZR-FXE engine (except for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and
Greenland): Do not bring burning or high-temperature items close to the
electrolyte. The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.
● If a fire occurs in the Hybrid Electric Vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as
possible. Never use a fire extinguisher that is not meant for e lectric fires.
Using even a small amount of water may be dangerous.
● If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with front wheels raised. If the
wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground
when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. Th is may
cause a fire. ( P. 674)
● 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.
