vehicle. At slow speeds or when
traveling down a gentle slope,
the engine is stopped
* and the
electric motor (traction motor) is
used.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) requires charging or the
engine is warming up, etc., the
gasoline engine will not automati-
cally stop. ( P. 7 6 )
■During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predomi-
nantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
as necessary.
■When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is added to that of the gas-
oline engine via the electric
motor (traction motor).
■When braking (regenera-
tive braking)
The wheels operate the electric
motor (traction motor) as a
power generator, and the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is
charged.
■Regenerative braking
●In the following si tuations, kinetic
energy is converted to electric
energy and deceleration force can
be obtained in conjunction with
the recharging of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery).
• The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
• The brake pedal is depressed while driving with t he shift lever in
D or S.
■Conditions in which the gaso-
line engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and
stops automatically. However, it may
not stop automatic ally in the follow-
ing conditions:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charging
●When the temperature of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
high or low
●When the heater is switched on
●When the “TOW HA UL” switch is
on
●When the “MTS” switch is on
●When the front-wheel drive control
switch is in “4H” or “4L”
●When the hood is opened during
“READY” indicator is illuminated
●When the shift lever is shifted to S
Depending on the circumstances,
the gasoline engine may also not
stop automatically in other situa-
tions.
■Charging the hybrid battery
(traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the
hybrid battery (trac tion battery), the
battery does not need to be charged
from an outside source. However, if
the vehicle is left parked for a long
time the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) will slowly dis charge. For this
reason, be sure to drive the vehicle
at least once every few months for
at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16
km). If the hybrid battery (traction
battery) becomes fully discharged
and you are unabl e to start the
hybrid system, contact your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
●Do not touch the high voltage
parts, cables and connectors.
●If electric wires are exposed
inside or outside your vehicle,
an electric shock may occur.
Never touch exposed electric
wires.
●If a fire occurs in the Hybrid
Electric Vehicle, leave the vehi-
cle as soon as possible. Never
use a fire extinguisher that is
not meant for electric fires.
Using even a small amount of
water may be dangerous.
●If your vehicle needs to be
towed, do so with the rear
wheels (2WD models) or four
wheels (4WD models) raised. If
the wheels connected to the
electric motor (traction motor)
are on the ground when towing,
the motor may continue to gen-
erate electricity. This may cause
a fire. (P.505)
●Carefully inspect the ground
under the vehicle. If you find
that liquid has leaked onto the
ground, the fuel system may
have been damaged. Leave the
vehicle as soon as possible.
●If a fluid leak occurs, do not
touch the fluid as it may be
strong alkaline electrolyte from
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery). If it comes into contact
with your skin or eyes, wash it
off immediately with a large
amount of water or, if possible,
boric acid solution. Seek imme-
diate medical attention.
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery)
●Never resell, hand over or mod-
ify the hybrid battery. To prevent
accidents, hybrid batteries that
have been removed from a dis-
posed vehicle are collected
through your Toyota dealer. Do
not dispose of the battery your-
self.
Unless the battery is properly col-
lected, the following may occur,
resulting in dea th or serious
injury:
• The hybrid batte ry may be ille-
gally disposed of or dumped,
and it is hazardous to the envi-
ronment or someone may touch
a high voltage part, resulting in
an electric shock.
• The hybrid battery is intended to be used exclusively with your
Hybrid Electric Vehicle. If the
hybrid battery is used outside of
your vehicle or modified in any
way, accidents such as electric
shock, heat generation, smoke
generation, an explosion and
electrolyte leakage may occur.
When reselling or handing over
your vehicle, the possibility of an
accident is extremely high
because the person receiving the
vehicle may not be aware of these
dangers.
●If your vehicle is disposed of
without the hybrid battery hav-
ing been removed, there is a
danger of serious electric shock
if high voltage parts, cables and
their connectors are touched. In
the event that your vehicle must
be disposed of, the hybrid bat-
tery must be disposed of by
your Toyota dealer. If the hybrid
battery is not disposed of prop-
erly, it may cause electric shock
that can result in death or seri-
ous injury.

WARNING
■When adjusting the seat posi-
tion
●Take care when adjusting the
seat position to ensure that
other passengers are not
injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the
seat or near the moving parts to
avoid injury.
Fingers or hands may become

space around the feet so they
do not get stuck.
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, do
not recline the se at more than
necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap
belt may slide past the hips and
apply restraint for ces directly to
the abdomen, or your neck may
contact the shoulder belt, increas-
ing the risk of death or serious
injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be made
while driving as the seat may
unexpectedly move and cause
