WARNING
■When charging
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Connect to a power source suitable for charging. (P. 131)
●Before charging, check that the charging inlet does not have deformations,
damage, corrosion, dust or other foreign materials such as snow or ice
adhering to it. If anything is adhering to the inlet, be sure to completely
remove the material before connecting the charging connector.
●Do not let the terminals of the charging inlet get wet.
●Make sure that the charging cable, plug and socket are free of foreign mat-
ter and not deformed or damaged.
●Only use outlets where the plug can be securely inserted.
●Do not charge if the charging cable is coiled or bundled.
●Wrapping 120 V charging cable while in-use is not recommended because
cable may overheat. Failure to rewrap charging cable when not in-use
could result in strangulation or tripping hazard.
●Do not touch the terminals of the charging connector and charging inlet
with a sharp metal objects (needles etc.) or hands, or short them with for-
eign objects.
●When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a weatherproof outlet
for outdoor use.
●If any heat, smoke, odors, noise or other abnormalities are noticed during
charging, stop charging immediately.

wet hands. Also, do not get the electrical socket and plug wet.
●Do not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
●Do not let the wheels on the charging cable, plug, charging connector and
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
●Firmly insert the plug into the outlet.
●Do not use an extension cord and converting adaptor.
●After connecting the charging cable, confirm that it is not wound around

7-2. Maintenance
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Toyota parts be used for repairs to ensure
performance of each system. If non-Toyota parts are used in replacement or if
a repair shop other than a Toyota dealer performs repairs, confirm the war-
ranty coverage.
■Resetting the message indicating maintenance is required (U.S.A. only)
After the required maintenance is preformed according to the maintenance
schedule, please reset the message.
To reset the message, follow the procedures described below:
While the hybrid system is operating, switch the multi-information display to
the screen. (P. 246)
Press
or of the meter control switches, select (“Vehicle
Settings”), and then press .
Press
or of the meter control switches, select “Maintenance Sys-
tem”, and then press .
Press
or of the meter control switches, select “Oil Maintenance”,
and then press .
Press
or of the meter control switches, select “Yes”, and then press
.
■Allow inspection and repairs to be performed by a Toyota dealer
●Toyota technicians are well-trained specialists and are kept up to date with
the latest service information. They are well informed about the operation of
all systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has
been performed is under warranty coverage. If any problem should arise
while your vehicle is under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take
care of it. A message will be displayed when the

Maintenance and care
■When replacing wheels
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning
valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure warning system to
provide advance warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure.
Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure warning valves and trans-
mitters must be installed. (P. 615)
WARNING
■When replacing wheels
●Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in
the Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
●Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a
tubeless tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or seri-
ous injury.
■When installing the wheel nuts
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing an
accident and resulting in death or serious injury. Remove any oil or
grease from the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
■Use of defective wheels prohibited
Do not use cracked or deformed wheels.
Doing so could cause the tire to leak air during driving, possibly causing
an accident.

■Oil capacity (Drain and refill [Reference*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Park the vehicle on level ground. After warming up the
engine and turning off the hybrid system, wait more than 5 minutes, and
check the oil level on the dipstick.
■
Engine oil selection
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to satisfy
the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: API SN/RC multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity
(one with a higher value) may be better suited if the vehicle is
operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
