481-1. For safe use
■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smalleradult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her
as a child depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenger does not wear a seat belt.
*4: When a larger child who has outgrown a child restraint system sits in thefront passenger seat, the system may recognize him/her as an adult
depending on his/her physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passengerseat. A forward-facing child restraint system should only be installed on
the front passenger seat when it is unavoidable. ( P. 52)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this manual on how
to install the child restraint system properly. ( P. 57)

722-1. Electric vehicle
Characteristics of the EV (Electric Vehicle)
system
The illustration is an example for explanation purposes only and may
vary from the actual vehicle.Electric motor (traction motor)
Traction battery
Provides electricity to the electric motor.
12-volt battery
Provides electricity to various v ehicle systems such as the SRS air-
bags, headlights, wipers, etc.
Electric vehicles are considerab ly different from conventional
vehicle.
They use electricity charged in a traction battery, instead of fos-
sil fuels, to drive the electric motor. Since electric vehicles drive
using electricity, they do not emit any emissions such as CO2
(Carbon Dioxide) and NOx (Nitroge n Oxides). Electric vehicles
are environmentally friendly vehicles.

932-2. Charging

EV system
Before charging, always check that:
●The parking brake is securely set. ( P. 174)
● The shift lever is in P. ( P. 171)
If the charging cable is connected when the shift lever is in a posi-
tion other than P, the charging in dicator will come on, however,
charging will not start, so after a while the indicator will turn off.
● The power switch is off. ( P. 166)
● All light switches are turned off. (F or example, the headlights, emer-
gency flashers, inte rior light, etc.)
If these light switches are turned on, then th ese features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time will increase.
It is necessary to inspect the charging cable on a routine basis.
Refer to P. 262 for “Inspec ting the charging cable”.

942-3. Driving the EV (Electric Vehicle)
EV (Electric Vehicle) driving tips
■Driving in D position
The D position allows the most efficient driving. (P. 171)
■Route selection
● Repeated acceleration and deceleration due to traffic conges-
tion, long waits at traffic lights, and driving on steep inclines will
lead to poor power consumption. In order to avoid those situa-
tions as much as possible, check traffic reports before leaving. If
the vehicle is driven in traffic congestion, gently release the brake
pedal to allow the vehicle to move forward slightly, avoid overuse
of the accelerator pedal. Doing so can help minimize unneces-
sary energy consumption.
● Whenever the EV system is start ed, 3 different possible driving
ranges will be displayed on the multi-information display. If a dif-
ferent route is used for drivin g, select an appropriate driving
route by taking into account thos e estimated possible driving dis-
tances.
Unlike the conventional vehicles, the energy consumption effi-
ciency of electric vehicles will decline if they continue driving on
highways or at high average speeds, causing the possible driv-
ing distance to reduce. Therefore, if the remaining charge of the
traction battery is low, avoid relying on the displayed possible
driving distance too much as we ll as driving on highways. Driv-
ing the vehicle at moderate speeds, the traction battery’s energy
consumption can be controlled.
The following driving tips will contribute to reduction in the bat-
tery consumption and increase in the driving range.

*1: These lights turn on when the power switch is turned to ON mode to indi-cate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off after the EV
system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in a sys-
tem if the lights do not come on, or turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Scion dealer.
*2: The light comes on to indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION
■ If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the EV system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could r\
esult
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer
immediately if this occurs.
