WARNING
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
● 2WD models: Your vehicle contai ns a sealed lithium-ion battery.
● Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery. To preven t accidents,
hybrid batteries that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are col-
lected through Toyota dealer. Do not dispose of the battery you rself.
Unless the battery is properly collected, the following may occur, resulting
in death or serious injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and it is haz-
ardous to the environment or someone may touch a high voltage p art,
resulting in an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with you r hybrid
vehicle. If the hybrid battery is used outside of your vehicle or modified
in any way, accidents such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke
generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage may occur.
When reselling or handing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident
is extremely high because the person receiving the vehicle may not be
aware of these dangers.
● If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery havin g been
removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high vo ltage parts,
cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle
must be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of by your
Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery is not dis-
posed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or
serious injury.

NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
● Make sure not to block the air intake vent with anything, such as a seat
cover, plastic cover, or luggage. If the vent is blocked, the charging/dis-
charging of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may become limited.
● When dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vent, clean it with a vac-
uum cleaner to prevent the vent from clogging.
● Do not get water or foreign materials in the air intake vent as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottle s in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction batt ery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota deale r.
● There is a filter installed to the air intake vent. When the fi lter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filte r cleaning or
replacement is recommended. For information regarding filter cl eaning or
replacement, refer to P. 546.
● If “Maintenance Required for Traction Battery Cooling Parts See Owner’s
Manual” is shown on the multi-information display, the air intake vent and
filter may be clogged. Refer to P. 546 for information on how to clean the
air intake vent.

◆Energy monitor
The energy monitor can be used to check the vehicle drive status,
hybrid system operation status and energy regeneration status.
When energy is flowing, an arrow appears and a bright point of light
moves to show the direction of the flow of energy. When energy is
not flowing, the bright point of light is not displayed.

■Hybrid battery (traction battery) status
●The display changes in 8 levels according to the remaining char ge amount
of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● The hybrid battery (traction battery) status is also displayed on the following
screen, but the contents of the display are the same.
• Sub-screen of the main display ( P. 122)
• Hybrid System Indicator ( P. 129)
• Head-up display (if equipped) ( P. 158)
● The charge amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is automatically
controlled by the hybrid system. For this reason, even if electricity is recov-
ered via the regenerative braking, or electricity is generated via the gasoline
engine, the displayed hybrid battery (traction battery) charge amount may
not reach the highest level (level 8). However, this does not i ndicate a mal-
function.
■ Remaining charge amount warning of hybrid battery (traction battery)
●The buzzer sounds intermittently when the hybrid battery (traction battery)
remains without charging while the shift position is in N, or t he remaining
charge amount drops below a certain level.
If the remaining charge amount drops further, the buzzer sounds continu-
ously.
● When a warning message is shown on the multi-information display and the
buzzer sounds, follow the instructions displayed on the screen to perform
troubleshooting. Low

WARNING
■Cautions while setting up the display
As the hybrid system needs to be operating during setting up the display,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate vent ilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful c arbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or
a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■ While setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid sy stem is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.

■Enabling/disabling of the head-up display
When the head-up display is turned off with the “HUD” switch, it is not dis-
played until the “HUD” switch is used to turn the head-up displ ay on again.
(Operation of the head-up display is not linked with the power switch.)
■ Display brightness
●The brightness of the head-up display is automatically adjusted according to
the operation status of the headlights (on/off) and the brightn ess of the sur-
roundings.
● When the brightness of the head-up display is adjusted to a cer tain level or
higher, the display automatically dims when the vehicle is stopped. Once the
vehicle starts off and the vehicle speed reaches approximately 3.1 mph
(5 km/h) or more, the display automatically returns to its previous bright-
ness.
■ Vehicle speed display
In extremely cold environments, the display of the speedometer and the vehi-
cle speed of the head-up display may slightly differ.
■ Head-up display
The head-up display may seem dark and hard to see when viewed t hrough
sunglasses, especially polarized sunglasses.
■ When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
The customize settings of the head-up display will be reset.
■ Route guidance display (vehicles with navigation system)
The route guidance is not displayed on both the head-up display and multi-
information display simultaneously. When the route guidance is displayed on
the head-up display, the multi-information display does not dis play the route
