■To prevent malfunctions and
data corruptions
●When charging, bringing a
credit, or other magnetic card,
or magnetic storage media
close to the charge area may
clear any stored data due to
magnetic influence. Also, do not
bring a wristwatch or other pre-

■Power outlets
●When connecting a device, make
sure that the to tal power con-
sumption of all devices connected
to the 120 VAC power outlets is
less than 1500 W. If a device is
connected and the power con-
sumption is exce eded, a protec-
tion circuit will cut the power
supply and the p ower outlets will
not be able to be used.
●Depending on the device to be
used, the current flow may be high
and the initial peak wattage may
exceed 1500 W.
In this case, the protection circuit
may operate, and the power out-
lets may not be able to be used.
●Depending on the connected
device, it may cause interference
with TV and radio broadcasts.
●The voltage of the power outlets
cannot be measured with a com-
mercially available electrical tes-
ter. If it is necessary to check the
voltage, have the vehicle

3665-4. Using the other interior features
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
●While a power outlet is being
used, a cooling fan sound may be
heard from near a rear seat. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
■Devices which may not operate
correctly
The following 120 VAC devices may
not operate properly even if their
power consumption is less than
1500 W:
●Devices with high initial peak watt-
age
●Measuring devices that process
precise data
●Devices that require an extremely
stable power supply
●Devices that require a constant
power supply from the power out-
let, such as a device with a timer.
■When the 120 V AC power out-
lets cannot be used
If the “AC120V” switch is pressed
but the switch indicator does not illu-
minate, the protection circuit may
have operated.
In this case, perform the appropriate
procedures as follows.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the p ower outlets,
check that the total power con-
sumption of all devices to be con-
nected to the power outlets is less
than 1500 W, reconnect the
devices and then press the
“AC120V” switch again.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the p ower outlets,
check that the devices are not
malfunctioning, reconnect the
devices and then press the
“AC120V” switch again.
●Check the charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) ( P.119).
If the charge is low, shift the shift
lever to P, allow the engine to run
to charge the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery), and then press the
“AC120V” switch again.
●If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
sufficiently ventilate or cool the
interior, and then press the
“AC120V” switch again.
●If the vehicle has been stopped in
a cold area, to protect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the
power outlets may not be able to
be used. In this case, drive the
vehicle for a while to warm up the
hybrid battery (traction battery),
and then press the “AC120V”
switch again.
If the power outlets cannot be used
even after performing the appropri-
ate procedures above, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
WARNING

tions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not use devices such as the
following when driving:
• Devices which cannot be prop- erly secured within the vehicle.

foreign matter or a liquid enters
the power outlet, it may cause a
malfunction or short circuit.
●Do not use a multi-point outlet
adapter as doing so may over-
load the power outlet.
■When the ambient tempera-
ture is high
If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been parked in the sun,
the power outlets may not be able
to be used. Sufficiently ventilate
the interior or use the air condi-
tioning system to cool the interior
before attempting to use the
power outlets.
■When the ambient tempera-
ture is low
If the vehicle has been stopped in
a cold area, to pro tect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the
power outlets may not be able to
be used. In this case, drive the
