serious injury or even death.
QWhen a child restraint system is
not installed on the front passen- ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau-
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.

Plug-in hybrid system
maximum of approximately 30 min-
utes. However, when the “Departure”
time is set (P.143) and there is not
sufficient time between the current
time and the time that charging will
complete, “Battery Cooler” operation
time may become shorter.
OWhen there is a small amount of
remaining charge in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), even if the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is hot, “Bat-
tery Cooler” may not be implemented.
OWhen the following operations are
performed while “Battery Cooler” is
operating, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) cooling operation stops.
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to any
mode other than off
• The Remote Air Conditioning System
is operated (P.414)
• “Charge Now” is implemented
(P.144)
O“Battery Cooler” uses the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) and
external power source.
• While “Battery Cooler” is operating,
the amount of the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
increases and decreases in a certain
range, and does not increase as in
normal charging.
• The operation of “Battery Cooler” is
recognized as charging by a charger.
The charger that calculates the fee
according to charging time causes a
charging fee.
To enable the use of EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode, we recom-
mend systematically charging the
vehicle.

3105-5. Using the driving support systems
OIn the following situations, if the situation has changed (or the vehicle has been
driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are detected, the mes-
sage will disappear and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the operational range,
such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold environment
• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such as when
driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining into the front
camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, the radar may judge the
surrounding environment can not be properly recognized. In that case, “Pre-Colli-
sion System Unavailable” is displayed.
When the temperature around the front
camera is outside of the operational
range, such as when the vehicle is in the
sun or in an extremely cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as after
the vehicle had been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
decrease the temperature around the
front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the vehicle
was parked, depending on its type, the
sunlight reflected from the surface of the
sunshade may cause the temperature of
the front camera to become excessively
high.
If the front camera is cold, such as after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely cold
environment, use the air conditioning
system to increase the temperature
around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera is
obstructed, such as when the hood is
open or a sticker is attached to the part of
the windshield in front of the front cam-
era.
Close the hood, remove the sticker, etc.
to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System Unavail-
able” is displayed.Check whether there is attached materi-
als on the radar sensor and radar sensor
cover, and if there is, remove it.

OThe outside temperature is extremely
low
OWhen the hybrid system is cool (for
example, after being left for a long time in low temperatures)
QWindshield defogger
When defogging the windshield using
the Remote Air Conditioning System, defogging may be insufficient due to the power being restricted more than during
normal air conditioning operation. Also, the outside of the windshield may fog up due to the outside temperature, humidity
or air conditioning set temperature.
QUsing the heater via the Remote Air Conditioning System
OWhen the outside temperature is low, heating may feel insufficient due to restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning.
OWhen the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating perfor- mance may decline due to automati-cally switching to the frost removal
operation. ( P.406)
QSecurity feature
Any unlocked doors will be automatically locked when the system is operating.
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked or the system has been turned off.
QConditions affecting operation
 P.222
QWhile the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating
ODepending on the operating condition of the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-tem, the air conditioning compressor
or cooling fan may spin and an operat- ing noise may be heard.However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
