For safety and security
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel
and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel th e vehicle with at
least enough gasoline to make the
low fuel level warning light ( P.515)
go off. If there is only a small
amount of fuel, th e hybrid system
may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 15.2 L
[4.0 gal., 3.3 Imp. gal.] when the
vehicle is on a level surface. This
value may vary whe n the vehicle is
on a slope. Add extra fuel when the
vehicle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorpo-
rate electromagnetic shielding,
and therefore emi t approximately
the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gaso-
line powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in so me third party-
produced radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (tr action battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery)
has a limited service life. The lifes-
pan of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) can change in accordance
with driving style and driving condi-
tions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an
extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is extremely cold (below
approximately -31°F [-35°C]) under
the influence of t he outside tem-
perature, it may no t be possible to
start the hybrid system. In this case,
try to start the hybrid system again
after the temperature of the hybrid
battery increases due to the outside
temperature increase etc.
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC
and AC systems as well as a 12-
volt system. DC and AC high volt-
age is very dangerous and can
cause severe burns and electric
shock that may result in death or
serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble,
remove or replace the high volt-
age parts, cables or their con-
nectors.
●The hybrid system will become
hot after starting as the system
uses high voltage. Be careful of
both the high voltage and the
high temperature, and always
obey the warning labels
attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service
plug access hole located under
the right side o f the rear seat.
The service plug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced
and is subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous injury:
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place
to prevent subsequent acci-
dents. While depressing the
brake pedal, apply the parking
brake and shift the shift lever to
P to stop the hybrid system.
Then, slowly release the brake
pedal

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.
