Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations fo r equipment
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the t ime of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrat ions may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This i s the sound of
a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a ma lfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for T oyota vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know tha t Toyota does
not warrant these products and is not responsible for their per formance,
repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota pro ducts. Modi-
fication with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its perf ormance, safety
or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.
Also, remodeling like this will have an effect on advanced safe ty equipment
such as Toyota Safety Sense and there is a danger that it will not work prop-
erly or the danger that it may work in situations where it should not be work-
ing.

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary meas ures or spe-
cial instructions regarding instal lation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit appro ximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoli ne pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their el ectromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

421-1. For safe use
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc., may be sustained from S RS airbags,
due to the extremely high speed deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
● A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
● Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as
well as the front seats, parts of the front and rear pillars, and roof side rails,
may be hot for several minutes. The airbag itself may also be hot.
● The windshield may crack.
● The hybrid system will be stopped and fuel supply to the engine will be
stopped. ( P. 84)

771-3. Emergency assistance
1
For safety and security
■Enhanced Roadside Assistance
Enhanced Roadside Assistance adds GPS data to the already
included warranty-based Toyota roadside service.
Subscribers can press the “SOS” button to reach a Safety Connec t
response-center agent, who can he lp with a wide range of needs,
such as: towing, flat tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a description of the
Enhanced Roadside Assistance se rvices and their limitations,
please see the Safety Connect Te rms and Conditions, which are
available at Toyota.com in the United States, Toyotapr.com in
Puerto Rico and Toyota.ca in Canada.
Important! Read this informatio n before using Safety Connect.
■Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-po wer
radio transmitter and receiver. I t receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wi re-
less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan-
dards previously set by the following U.S. and international
standards bodies.
● ANSI (American National Stand ards Institute) C95.1 [1992]
● NCRP (National Council on Radi ation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval-
uations of the relevant scienti fic literature. Over 120 scientists, engi-
neers, and physicians from unive rsities, and government health
agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines i n
addition to those standards.

Hybrid system features
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics differ ent
from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar wi th
the characteristics of your veh icle, and operate it with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and
an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving condi-
tions, improving fuel efficien cy and reducing exhaust emis-
sions.

841-4. Hybrid system
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, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) may
overheat, leading to a reduction in
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) output.
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor , the
emergency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and stops
the fuel pump to minimize the ri sk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If
the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart.
To restart the hybrid system , contact your Toyota dealer.
A message is automatically displ ayed 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. ( P. 519)
