●The following SRS airbags will not
normally deploy in rear collisions,
end over end vehicle rollovers, or
low speed front or side collisions:
• SRS curtain shield airbags
■When to contact your Toyota
dealer
In the following situations, the vehi-
cle will require inspection and/or
repair. Contact your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
●When any of the SRS airbags
have been deployed
●When the front of the vehicle is
damaged or deformed, or was
involved in a collision that was not
severe enough to cause any of
the following SRS airbags to
deploy:
• SRS front airbags
●When a door or its surrounding
area is damaged, deformed or has
had a hole made in it, or was
involved in a collision that was not severe enough to cause any of
the following SRS airbags to
deploy:
• SRS side airbags
• SRS curtain shield airbags
●When the pad section of the steer-
ing wheel or the dashboard near
the front passenger SRS airbag is
scratched, cracked, or otherwise
damaged.
●When the surface of a seat with
an SRS side airbag is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
●When the part of a front pillar, rear
pillar or roof side rail garnish (pad-
ding) which covers a SRS curtain
shield airbag is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.

421-1. For safe use
WARNING
●Do not attach anything to areas
such as the doors, windshield,
side windows, front or rear pil-
lars, roof side rails and assist
grips. (With the exception of the
speed limit label P.577)
●Do not use seat accessories
which cover the parts from
which the SRS airbags deploy,
as they may inte rfere with infla-
tion of the SRS airbags. Such
accessories may prevent the
SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the sys-
tem or cause the SRS airbags
to inflate unintentionally, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant
force to the SRS airbag system
components, front doors or their
surrounding area.
Doing so may cause the SRS
airbags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any components
of the SRS airbags immediately
after the SRS airbags have
deployed (inflated) as they may
be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult
after the SRS airbags have
deployed, open a door or win-
dow to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to
do so. Wash off any residue as
soon as possible to prevent skin
irritation.
●If a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked,
have it replaced by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passen-
ger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sen-
sor from detecting the passen-
ger’s weight properly. As a
result, the SRS front airbags for
the front passenger’s seat may
not deploy in the event of a colli-
sion.
■Modification and disposal of
SRS airbag system compo-
nents
Do not dispose of your vehicle or
perform any of the following modi-
fications without consulting your
Toyota dealer. The SRS airbags
may malfunction or deploy unin-
tentionally, possibly leading to
death or serious injury.
●Removal, installation, disas-
sembly or repair of the SRS air-
bags
●Repair, removal or modification
of the following parts or their
surrounding
• Steering wheel
• Instrument panel
• Dashboard
• Seats
• Seat upholstery
• Front pillars
• Side pillars
• Rear pillars
• Roof side rails
• Front door panels

902-1. Plug-in hybrid system
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to poor fuel economy. Avoid car-
rying unnecessary luggage.
Installing a large roof rack will
also cause poor fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts
up and cuts out automatically,
warming up is not necessary.The value displayed on the SOC
(State of Charge) gauge
(P.155) is estimated from the
following information.
 The amount of hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge cur-
rently remaining
 The electricity consumption
(the estimated distance that
EV driving is possible per unit
of electrical energy) based on
the recorded value
 Past air conditioning system
electricity consumption
amount
The electricity consumption var-
ies depending on how the vehi-
cle is driven. The vehicle

EV driving range
The EV driving range dis-
played on the meter shows
the reference distance that
EV driving (driving using
only the electric motor) is
possible, and the actual dis-
tance that can be driven
may differ from that dis-
played.
Even if the EV driving range is
displayed, EV driving may be
canceled and both gasoline
engine and electric motor are
used depending on the situa-
tion. ( P.79)

Cargo capacity depends on the
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load
capacity) - (Total weight of occu-
pants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit 
(1) Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 -
750 (5  150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
WARNING
●Do not place cargo or luggage
in or on the following locations.
• At the feet of the driver
• On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
• On the luggage cover
• On the instrument panel
• On the dashboard
●Secure all items in the occupant
compartment.
NOTICE
■If luggage is loaded on the
roof (vehicles with solar
charging system)
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to observe them
could lead to the solar roof being
damaged, or the roof rack falling
off.
●Do not install a roof rack which
interferes with the solar roof.
●Do not load luggage directly
onto the solar roof.

WARNING
●If the part of the windshield in
front of the front camera is
fogged up or covered with con-
densation or ice, use the wind-
shield defogger to remove the
fog, condensation, or ice.
●If water droplets cannot be
properly removed from the area
of the windshield in front of the
front camera by the windshield
wipers, replace the wiper insert
or wiper blade.
●Do not attach window tint to the
windshield.
●Replace the windshield if it is
damaged or cracked.
If the windshield has been
replaced, recalibration of the front
camera will be necessary. For
details, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not allow liqui ds to contact
the front camera.
●Do not allow bright lights to
shine into the front camera.
●Do not damage the lens of the
front camera or allow it to
become dirty.
When cleaning the inside of the
windshield, do not allow glass
cleaner to contact the lens of the
front camera. Do not touch the
lens of the front camera.
If the lens of the front camera is
dirty or damaged, contact your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not subject the front camera
to a strong impact.
●Do not change the position or
orientation of the front camera
or remove it.
●Do not disassemble the front
camera.
●Do not modify any parts around
the front camera, such as the
inside rear view mirror or ceil-
ing.
●Do not attach accessories
which may obstruct the front
camera to the hood, front grille,
or front bumper. For details,
contact your Toyota dealer.
●If a surfboard or other long
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.
