■When the 120 VAC power outlet
cannot be used
If the AC 120 V switch is pressed
but the switch indicator does not illu-
minate, the protection circuit may
have operated.
In this case, perform the appropriate
procedures as follows.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the power outlet,
check that the total power con-
sumption of all devices to be con-
nected to the power outlet is less
than 1500 W, reconnect the
devices and then press the AC
120 V switch again.
●Disconnect the plug of each
device from the power outlet,
check that the devices are not
malfunctioning, reconnect the
devices and then press the AC
120 V switch again.
●Check the charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery)
(  P.165). If the charge is low,
shift the shift leve r to P, allow the
engine to run to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery), and then
press the AC 120 V switch again.
●If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been park ed in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
sufficiently vent ilate or cool the
interior, and then press the AC
120 V switch again.
●If the vehicle has been stopped in
a cold area, to pro tect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the
power outlet may not be able to be
used. In this case , drive the vehi-
cle for a while to warm up the
hybrid battery (traction battery),
and then press the AC 120 V
switch again.
If the power outlet cannot be used
even after performing the appropri-
ate procedures above, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●If any electrical device has mal-
functioned, park the vehicle in a
safe location and turn the AC
inverter off.
●If the protection function activates
and power is cut, perform the fol-
lowing procedure.
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place
and set the parking brake.
2 Ensure that the shift lever is in P
or N.
3 Check that the power consumed
by the electrical devices is within
1500 W and any device has not
malfunctioned.
4 Press the AC 120 V switch.
If the inside of the vehicle is hot,
open the windows t o lower the tem-
perature and turn the switch back on
once the inside of the vehicle
reaches a normal temperature. If
following the procedure above does
not restore power, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■For safe use
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not use devices such as the
following when driving. Also, do
not use a device if it cannot be
secured within the vehicle.
• Devices which may distract the driver and be a hinderance to
safe driving, such as a TV, DVD
player, etc.
• Unsecured devices or devices which generate heat, such as a
toaster, micro wave, electric
heater, electric kettle, coffee
maker, etc., as they may fly
around possibly causing injury,
burns or a fire in the case of
sudden braking or an accident.

WARNING
●When using a power outlet in an
area with poor ventilation or an
enclosed area, such as a
garage, to prevent the exhaust
gasses from accumulating and
causing a lack of oxygen, make
sure to use a ventilation or
exhaust system.
The power outlet are for use in
directly connecting electrical
devices such as lights. Do not
use the power ou tlet as genera-
tors to supply power to a house,
etc.
●Do not use the p ower outlet if
the vehicle has a vehicle cover
installed.
●Do not sleep in the vehicle while
using devices such as an elec-
tric heater.
■Devices to be connected
Make sure to read any instruction
manual which came with a device
and observe any warnings on the
device. Do not connect a device
to a power outlet if the device is
malfunctioning or its plug is dam-
aged. Also, do not use the power
outlet to power the following
devices:
●Medical devices
Do not use a power outlet to
power these types of devices as
the output of the power outlet may
be cut, depending on the condi-
tion of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay lead to the
power outlet no t operating cor-
rectly or damage to the vehicle or
a connected device.
■To avoid short circuit or mal-
function
●Do not set a toaster or other
device which generates heat
near the interior components or
on a seat. Heat may cause
these parts to melt or burn.
●Do not use devic es which are
sensitive to vibration or heat in
the vehicle.
These devices may malfunction
due to vibration while driving or
heat while the vehicle is parked
in the sun.
●When not using a power outlet,
make sure to close the cover. If
foreign matter or a liquid enters
the power outlet, it may cause a
malfunction or s hort circuit.
●Do not use a mul ti-point outlet
adaptor as doing so may over-
load the power outlet.
■When the ambient tempera-
ture is high
If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been parked in the sun,
use the air conditioning system to
sufficiently ventilate or cool the
interior.
■When the ambient tempera-
ture is low
If the vehicle has been stopped in
a cold area, to pro tect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), the
power outlet may not be able to
be used. In this case, drive the
vehicle for a while to warm up the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
If using an electrical device that
consumes 100 W or more of
power for a period of time, turn off
the headlights, air conditioning
and all other electrical compo-
nents equipped to the vehicle.

Do not wash the vehicle floor with
water.
Vehicle systems such as the
audio system may be damaged if
water comes into contact with
electrical components such as the
audio system above or under the
floor of the vehicle. Water may
also cause the body to rust.
■When cleaning the inside of
the windshield

5268-2. Steps to take in an emergency
NOTICE
■“High Power Consumption
Partial Limit On AC/Heater
Operation” is frequently
shown
There is a possible malfunction
relating to the ch arging system or
the 12-volt battery may be deteri-
orating. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

tery) is scheduled to be inspected
or replaced. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.

5639-1. Specifications
9
Vehicle specifications
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades
of a tire assume tha
t it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.
