For safety and security

WARNING
QWhen the Emergency Call may
not be made
OIt may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the fol-
lowing situations. In such cases, report to emergency services pro-vider (112 system etc.) by other
means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cel-
lular phone service area, it may be difficult to connect to the eCall con-trol center if the reception is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempts to connect to the eCall control center,
you may not be able to connect to the eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emer-
gency services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellu-
lar phone service area, the Emer- gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, indicator lights, microphone, speaker, DCM,
antenna, or any wires connecting the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emer-
gency Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the sys-
tem makes repeated attempts to connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot connect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the system may not be able to connect to the
cellular network and the call may finish without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for approxi-
mately 30 seconds to indicate this disconnection.
OIf the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnec-tion, the system may not be able to
connect to the eCall control center.
QWhen the Emergency Call sys-
tem is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
QFor your safety
OPlease drive safely.The function of this system is to
assist you in making the Emer- gency Call in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden
medical emergencies, and it does not protect the driver or passengers in any way. Please drive safely and
fasten your seatbelts at all times for your safety.
OIn case of an emergency, make lives the top priority.
OIf you smell anything burning or other unusual smells, leave the vehicle and evacuate to a safe area
immediately.
OIf the airbags deploy when the sys-
tem is operating normally, the sys- tem makes emergency call. The system also makes emergency call
when the vehicle is struck from the rear or rolls over, even if the air-bags do not deploy.
OFor safety, do not make the Emer-gency Call while driving.
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steering wheel, which may lead to unex-
pected accidents. Stop the vehicle and confirm the safety of your surroundings before
making the Emergency Call.

1322-2. Charging
This vehicle has been designed to
allow charging from an external
power source using a AC charging
cable for exclusive use with stan-
dard household AC sockets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly
from standard household electrical
goods in the following ways, and
incorrect usage could cause fire or
electric shock, possibly leading to
death or serious injury.
 The charging operation is
designed to operate at 8A-10A
continuously for the charge dura-
tion (approximately 9 hours).
( P.126)
 Charging can be conducted out-
doors.
To charge properly, follow the pro-
cedure after reading the explana-
tion below. Charging is intended to
be carried out by licensed drivers
only who properly understand the
charging procedure.
 Do not allow children to use the
AC charging cable without
supervision. Also, keep the AC
charging cable out of reach of
infants.
 When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.
 When charging using a public
charging facility, check the set-
ting of the charging schedule
function.
• When the charging schedule is regis-
tered, temporarily turn off the function
or turn “Charge Now” on. ( P.144)
• When the charging schedule is set to
on, charging will not start even if the
AC charging cable is connected.
Also, charging fee may occur due to
connection of the AC charging cable.
Before charging, always check the
following items.
 The parking brake is applied.
( P.282)
 Lights such as the headlights,
emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned on,
then these features will consume elec-
tricity, and charging time will increase.
 The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.276)
Before charging, make sure that
WARNING
QWhen the AC charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the AC charging cable has been damaged,
the shift position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move, possibly leading to an
accident.
Charging precautions
Confirm the following before
charging
Inspecting the AC charging
cable

Plug-in hybrid system
QWhen a door is unlocked while
using “My Room Mode”
The charging connector unlocks,
charging stops and “My Room Mode”
stops. In order to use “My Room Mode”
again, reconnect the AC charging cable
and start “My Room Mode” (P.152).
When using “My Room Mode” with pub-
lic charging station, operation to start
charging using the charger may be
required again before starting “My Room
Mode”.
QMeter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on for
approximately 100 seconds after the
power switch is turned on during
charging, the power switch will automat-
ically turn off.
QWhile using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
OWhen the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air condi-
tioning system automatically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room
Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
restored.
OWhen the outside temperature is low,
the heater output may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera-
tion being restricted.
OWarning lights and indicators such as
electric power steering system warn-
ing light (yellow) and malfunction indi-
cator lamp may turn on, but this is not
a malfunction.
Also, when the surrounding area is
dark, the headlights are turned on.
(P.288)
QWhen a charging schedule is regis-
tered
When “My Room Mode” starts while the
charging schedule is on standby, charging schedules are ignored and
charging starts.
QWhen “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged and the charging con-
nector that supplies power is connected,
“Charging Port Lid is Open” is displayed
on the multi-information display. In this
case, press of the meter control
switches to display the setting screen of
“My Room Mode”, and then select “My
Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used while
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
fully charged, the electric power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) may be
consumed. In this case, charging may
be performed again.
QWhen a message related to “My
Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on the
multi-information display while using or
attempting to start “My Room Mode”,
take the following correction proce-
dures.
O“Traction battery is too low for “My
Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining charge in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) for
starting “My Room Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases, then
start “My Room Mode”.
O““My Room Mode” has stopped due to
low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is insufficient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
O““My Room Mode” will stop when trac-
tion battery is too low Reduce power
