WARNING
●Do not use seat accessories which cover the parts where the SRS side
airbags and SRS front seat center airbags inflate as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags.
Such accessories may prevent the SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags from activating
correctly, disable the system or cause the SRS side airbags and SRS front seat center airbags to
inflate accidentally, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not strike or apply significant levels of force to the area of the SRS airbag components or the
front doors. Doing so can cause the SRS air-bags to malfunction.
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have deployed, open a door or window to allow
fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do so. Wash off any resi-due as soon as possible to prevent
skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags
are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or
cracked, have them replaced by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or per-
form any of the following modifica- tions without consulting your Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer. The SRS air- bags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing death or
serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly
and repair of the SRS airbags
●Repairs, modifications, removal or
replacement of the steering wheel, instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and
rear pillars, roof side rails, front door panels, front door trims or front door speakers
●Modifications to the front door panel (such as making a hole in it)
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the
occupant compartment
●Installation of a grille guard (bull

1-1. For safe use
Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the
human body is included in
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO), which is color- less and odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases enter the vehicle and may lead to an accident caused by light-
headedness, or may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is closed, open the windows and have
the vehicle inspected at any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti- lated area or a closed area, such as a garage, stop the hybrid system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and ensure that
exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or where it is snowing. If
snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may col-
lect and enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there is a hole
or crack caused by corrosion, dam- age to a joint or abnormal exhaust noise, be sure to have the vehicle
inspected and repaired by any autho- rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

WARNING
■Back door handles
Do not hang any object to the back
door handles. If any object is hung, the back door may suddenly shut, causing parts of
the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious injury.
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause parts of
the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before opening it. Failure to do so
may cause the back door to sud- denly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them
know that the back door is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or clos-ing the back door in windy weather as it may move abruptly in strong
wind.
●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.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
NOTICE
●Do not attach heavy accessories to the back door. When attaching, ask
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details.
●Do not place your hand on the spin-dle or apply lateral forces to it.
■To prevent back door closer mal-function
Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the back door closer is operating. Applying excessive force
may cause the back door closer to malfunction.
■To prevent damage to the power back door
●Make sure that there is no ice
between the back door and frame that would prevent movement of the back door. Operating the power
back door when excessive load is present on the back door may cause a malfunction.
●Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the power back
door is operating.
●Take care not to damage the sen-
sors (installed on the right and left edges of the power back door) with a knife or other sharp object. If the
sensor is disconnected, the power back door will not close automati-cally.
■Close & lock function
When closing the power back door using the close & lock function, a dif-
ferent buzzer than the normal one will sound before the operation begins. To check that the operation has started
correctly, check that a different buzzer than the normal one has sounded. Additionally, when the power back
door is fully closed and locked, opera- tion signals will indicate that all of the doors have been locked. Before leav-
ing the vehicle, make sure that the operation signals have operated and that all of the doors are locked.
■Hands Free Power Back Door precautions
The kick sensor is located behind lower center part of the rear bumper. Observe the following to ensure that
the Hands Free Power Back Door function operates properly:
●Keep the lower center part of the
rear bumper clean at all times. If the lower center part of the rear bumper is dirty or covered with
snow, the kick sensor may not oper- ate. In this situation, clean off the dirt or snow, move the vehicle from
the current position and then check if the kick sensor operates.If it does not operate, have the vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not apply coatings that have a rain clearing (hydrophilic) effect, or
other coatings, to the lower center part of the rear bumper.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
Before driving
of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range, the doors may be locked or unlocked by anyone. How-ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid system if the electronic key
is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-sor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition sig- nals will be shown up to two consecu-tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec- tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:• P l ac e t h e e l ec t ro n ic ke y i n a l oc at i o n 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi- cle. (Take care to ensure that the key
is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav- ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.153)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi- cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-erly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a han-
dle operation immediately after enter- ing the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch
the door unlock sensor and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly lon-
ger to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be
deactivated in advance. ( P.498)
●Setting the electronic key to battery-
saving mode helps to reduce key bat- tery depletion. ( P.153)
■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key
when operating the system. Do not get the electronic key too close to the vehi-cle when operating the system from the
outside of the vehicle. Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key
may not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may go off accidentally, or the
door lock prevention function may not operate.)
