Please note that this manual
applies to all models and
explains all equipment, including
options. Therefore, you may find
explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle and the
illustrations used may differ from
your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this
manual are current at the time of
printing. Over time, your vehicle
may receive updates that modify
the vehicle and make material in
this manual incomplete and/or
inaccurate. Because of Toyota's
interest in continual product
improvement, Toyota reserves
the right to make changes to this
manual at any time without
notice.
If Toyota chooses to update the
manual, updated versions can
be viewed by selecting your
vehicle by model and year at the

Approximately five hours after
the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear sound coming
from under the vehicle for sev-
eral minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage
check and, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
A wide variety of non-genuine
spare parts and accessories for
Toyota vehicles are currently
available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their per-
formance, repair, or replace-
ment, or for any damage they
may cause to, or adverse effect
they may have on, your Toyota
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modi-
fied with non-genuine Toyota
products. Modification with
non-genuine Toyota products
could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regu-
lations. 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
safety equipment such as Toy-
ota Safety Sense 3.0 and there
is a danger that it will not work

properly or the danger that it
may work in situations where it
should not be working.
Installing electronic devices and
radios increases the risk of
cyber attacks through the
installed parts, which may lead
to unexpected accidents and
leakage of personal informa-
tion. Toyota does not make any
guarantees for problems caused
by installing non-genuine Toyota
products.
The installation of a mobile
two-way radio system in your
vehicle could affect electronic
systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel
injection system
 Toyota Safety Sense 3.0
 Anti-lock brake system
 SRS airbag system
 Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toy-
ota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions
regarding installation of a mobile
two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables
on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount
of electromagnetic waves as the
conventional gasoline powered
vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite of their elec-
tromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in
the reception of the mobile
two-way radio.
This vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that
record certain data regarding
vehicle controls and operations.

Data recorded by the comput-
ers
*1
Certain data, such as the following,
is recorded dependi ng on the oper-
ation timing and status of each
function.
• Basic vehicle behavior related data (engine speed/electric motor
speed, accelerator/brake pedal
operation, vehicle speed, etc.)
• Operating state of the driving support systems (recorded during
system operation, includes basic
vehicle behavior related data)
• Driving support system sensor data
• Image data (images from the front, rear and side cameras)
*2
• Location information
These computers do not record
conversations, sounds, or
images of the inside of the vehi-
cle.

Also, personal information which
may be used to identify the
owner of the vehicle (name,
gender, age, etc.) is not
recorded.
*1: The recorded data varies accord-ing to the vehicle grade level and
options with which it is equipped.
*2: The vehicle has multiple cam-eras. For details on from which
cameras images are recorded,
contact your Toyota dealer.
 Data provision and use pur-
pose by third parties
Data recorded by the computers

related technologies (technology,
product development, product
improvement, etc.) and products
and services which use data (maps
used for automated driving and
advanced safety technologies, driv-
ing condition anal ysis, analysis of
the driving environment, such as
road infrastructure, traffic condition
communication, etc. Herein
referred to as “individual ser-
vices”.) Also, this data may be used
for customer suppo rt related to a

lution.
In situations such as the following,
Toyota may disclose the recorded
data to a third party:
• When the consent of the vehicle owner (or the lessee if the vehicle
is leased) has been given
• When officially requested by the police, a court of law or a govern-
ment agency • When it is to be used by Toyota in
a lawsuit
• When data is to be used research purposes after processing so that
the data is not ti ed to a specific
vehicle or vehicle owner
In addition to the above, Toyota
may disclose the data recorded by
the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 to a
third party in the following situa-
tions:
• When separate consent of the vehicle owner (or the lessee if the
vehicle is leased) has been given.
This includes situations when the
user subscribes to an individual
service which is provided by a
second party and uses vehicle
recorded data, where the provider
has obtained the user’s consent
for providing data to a third-party

.
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 sec-
onds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data
as:
• How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelera-
tor and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was trav- eling.
These data can help provide a
better understanding of the cir-
cumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded
by your vehicle only if a non-triv-
ial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. How-
ever, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the

EDR data with the type of per-
sonally identifying data rou-
tinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an
EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufac-
turer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the spe-
cial equipment, can read the
information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
Toyota will not disclose the data
recorded in an EDR to a third party
except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s
owner (or the less ee for a leased
vehicle) is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without
disclosing information about the
specific vehicle or vehicle owner
The SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner devices in your
Toyota contain explosive chemi-
cals. If the vehicle is scrapped
with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left as they are,
this may cause an accident such
as fire. Be sure to have the sys-
tems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified ser-
vice shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you scrap your
vehicle.
Special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components
that may contain perchlorate.
These components may include
the airbags, seat belt preten-
sioners, wireless remote control
batteries, and the batteries in
the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters.

WARNING
■General precautions while
driving
Driving under the influence: Never
drive your vehicle when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs that
have impaired your ability to oper-
ate your vehicle. Alcohol and cer-
tain drugs delay reaction time,
impair judgment and reduce coor-
dination, which could lead to an
accident that could result in death
or serious injury.
Defensive drivin g: Always drive
defensively. Anticipate mistakes
that other drivers or pedestrians
might make and be ready to avoid
accidents.
Driver distracti on: Always give
your full attention to driving. Any-
thing that distracts the driver, such
as adjusting controls, talking on a
cellular phone or reading can
result in a collision with resulting
death or serious injury to you,
your occupant s or others.
■General precaution regarding
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle, and never allow
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the
vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral. There is also a danger
that children may injure them-
selves by playing with the win-
dows, the moon roof, or other
features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely
cold temperatures inside the vehi-
cle can be fatal to children.
