large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact
with the shift lever, wiper
switch, etc.
Use the rear door child-pro-
tector lock or the window
lock switch to avoid children
opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power
window accidentally.
( P.202, 246)
Do not let small children

1172-2. Charging
2
Plug-in hybrid system
may start again to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
• “Charging Stopped Due to Pulled
Charging Connector” may be
shown when the charging connec-
tor is removed while recharging.
( P.153)
■“Battery Cooler”
●The charging indicator is illumi-
nated while “Battery Cooler” is on
standby or operating.
●“Battery Cooler” is implemented
for a maximum of approximately
30 minutes. However, when the
“Departure” time is set ( P.130)
and there is not sufficient time
between the current time and the
time that chargin g will complete,
“Battery Cooler” operation time
may become shorter.
●When there is a small amount of
remaining charge in the hybrid
battery (traction battery), even if
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is hot, “Battery Cooler” may not be
implemented.
●When the traction battery is
almost completely charged, “Bat-
tery Cooler” may not be imple-
mented.
●When 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 Sys- tem is operated ( P.399)
• “Charge Now” is implemented
( P.131)
●“Battery Cooler” uses the power of
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
and external power source.
• While “Battery Cooler” is operat- ing, the amount of the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) increases and
decreases in a certain range, and
does not increas e as in normal charging.
• The operation of “Battery Cooler” is recognized as charging by a
charger. The charger that calcu-
lates the fee according to charging
time causes a charging fee.

2024-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
vehicle.
Depending on the position of the
electronic key, the key may not be
detected correctly and the door may
be locked.
■Open door warning buzzer

(5 km/h), a buzzer sounds to indi-
cate that the door(s) or the hood is
not fully closed.
The open door(s) or hood is dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play.
■When all the doors are locked

3125-5. Using the driving support systems
●In 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 message will disappear and the system will become opera-
tional.
If the message does not disapp ear, contact your Toyota dealer.
• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an e xtremely cold
environment
• When the front camera cannot d etect objects in front of the vehicle, such
as when driving in the dark, sno w, or fog, or when bright lights are shining
into the front camera
• Depending on the conditions in the vicinity of the vehicle, th e radar may
judge the surrounding environment can not be properly recognize d. In that
case, “Pre-Collision System Unavailable” is displayed.
When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle 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 sys-
tem 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 o f the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the
hood is open or a sticker is attached
to the part of the win dshield in front
of the front camera.
Close the hood, rem ove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System
Unavailable” is displayed.
Check whether there is attached
materials on the radar sensor and
radar sensor cover , and if there is,
remove it.
SituationActions

4006-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
cient 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 tem-
perature.
■Using the heater via the Remote
Air Conditioning System
●When the outside temperature is
low, heating may feel insufficient
due to restricted operation of the
air conditioning.
●When the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating
performance may decline due to
automatically switching to the frost
removal operation. ( P.390)
■Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automat-
ically locked when the system is
operating. The buzzer sounds and
the emergency flashers flash to indi-
cate that the doors have been
locked or the system has been
turned off.
■Conditions affecting operation
 P.218
■While the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System is operating
●Depending on the operating con-
dition of the Remote Air Condition-
ing System, the air conditioning
compressor or cooling fan may
spin and an operating noise may
be heard. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
●The air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate
while the Remote Air Condition-
ing System is operating.
■Electronic key battery depletion
 P.194
■When the electronic key bat-
tery is fully depleted
 P.487
■Customization
Setting (e.g. Operation using “A/C”
on the wireless remote control) can
be changed. (Customizable fea-
tures: P.565)
WARNING
■Precautions for the Remote
Air Conditioning System
●Do not use the system if people
are in the vehicle.
Even when the system is in use,
the internal temperature may
still reach a high or low level
due to features such as the
automatic shut-off. Children and
pets left inside the vehicle may
suffer heatstroke dehydration or
hypothermia or could result in
death or serious injury.
●Depending on the surrounding
environment, signals from the
wireless switch may transmit
further than e xpected. Pay
appropriate attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and use
the switch only when neces-
sary.
●Do not operate “A/C” on the
wireless remote control if the
hood is open. The Remote Air
Conditioning System may oper-
ate unintentionally and objects
may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
■To prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from being
discharged
Use “A/C” on the wireless remote
control only when necessary.
