If you notice any of the following symptoms, refer to the following
table for the likely cause and the solution.
If the symptom is not resolved by the solution, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
• When washing the camera, rinse it with a large quantity of
water and then wipe it clean
with a soft cloth dampened with
water. Do not strongly rub the
camera lens, as it may be
scratched and will not be able to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or
glass coat to adhere to the cam-
era cover. If this happens, wipe
it off as soon as possible.
• Do not apply hot water to the camera in cold weather, as the
sudden change of temperature
may cause the camera to not
operate properly.
• When using a high pressure washer to wash the vehicle, do
not directly spray the camera
and its surrounding area, as
doing so may cause the camera
to not operate properly.
●Do not subject the camera to a
strong impact as this could
cause a malfunction.
If this happens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.

Driving
WARNING
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a
difficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay response in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
●The driver should pay extra
attention to pedestrians when
the vehicle is powered only by
the electric motor (traction
motor). As there is no engine
noise, the pedestrians may mis-
judge the vehicle’s movement.
Even if the Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System is operating,
drive with care as pedestrians in
the vicinity may still not notice
the vehicle if the surrounding
area is noisy.
●Do not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable
materials such as leaves, paper
or rags.
The exhaust system and
exhaust gases can be
extremely hot. These hot parts
may cause a fire if there is any
flammable material nearby.
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the hybrid system. Turn-
ing the hybrid s ystem off while
driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost mak-
ing it difficult to steer smoothly
before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining
charge in the 12-volt battery or
usage conditions. In this situa-
tion, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In the event of an emergency,
such as if it be comes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal
way:  P.547
●Use engine braking (downshift)
to maintain a safe speed when
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness.
( P.256)
●Do not adjust the position of the
steering wheel, the seat, inside
rear view mirror (if equipped),
Digital Rear-view Mirror (if
equipped) or outside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may resu lt in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, head or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.

object is to be mounted on the
roof, make sure that it will not
obstruct the front camera.
●Do not modify or change the
headlights and other lights.
■Front camera installation area
on the windshield
If the system determines that the
windshield may be fogged up, it
will automatically operate the
heater to defog the part of the
windshield around the front cam-
era. When cleaning, etc., be care-
ful not to touch the area around
the front camera until the wind-
shield has cooled sufficiently, as
touching it may cause burns.
■Precautions for the driver
monitor camera (if equipped)
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to mal-
function of the driver monitor cam-
era and the systems not operating
properly, possibly leading to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.

When a vehicle is detected in a
blind spot of the outside rear view
mirrors or approaching rapidly from
behind into a blind spot, the outside

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a
system that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper on the left and right
side to assist the driver in
confirming safety when
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is in a
blind spot of the outside rear
view mirrors or is approaching
rapidly from behind into a blind
spot. Do not overly rely on the
Blind Spot Monitor. As the func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to
change lanes, over reliance
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As
the system may not function
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
