WARNING
■If a safety system warning light

Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these systems are not available to help pro-
tect you in an accident, which could result in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately if this occurs.

WARNING
■The information display at low
temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crys-
tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display moni-tor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new shift
range appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-shift again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●The engine may be overheating if “Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P.578)

WARNING
●Vehicles without power back door: The back door may suddenly shut if
it is not opened fully. It is more diffi- cult to open or close the back door on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the back door unexpectedly opening or closing by itself. Make sure that the back door
is fully open and secure before using the luggage compartment.
●Vehicles with power back door: The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully, while on a steep
incline. Make sure that the back door is secured before using the luggage compartment.
●When closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fingers,
etc. from being caught.
●Vehicles without power back door:
When closing the back door, make sure to press it lightly on its outer surface. If the back door handle is
used to fully close the back door, it may result in hands or arms being caught.
●Vehicles without power back door: Do not pull on the back door damper stay ( P.243) to close the
back door, and do not hang on the back door damper stay. Doing so may cause hands to be
caught or the back door damper stay to break, causing an accident.
●Vehicles with power back door: Do not pull on the back door spindle ( P.250) to close the back door,
and do not hang on the back door spindle. Doing so may cause hands to be
caught or the back door spindle to break, causing an accident.
●Vehicles without power back door: If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door,
it may suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck to be caught
and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using a genuine Toyota part is rec-
ommended.
Unlocking and locking the
back door from the outside
