1-1.For s afe us e
Use only floor mats designed spe-
cifically for vehicles of the same
model and model year as your vehi-
cle. Fix them securely in place onto
the carpet.
1 Insert the retaining hooks (clips)
into the floor mat eyelets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each
retaining hook (clip) to secure
the floor mats in place.
Always align the marks .
The shape of the retaining hooks (clips)
may differ from that shown in the illus-
tration.Before driving
Observe the following before
starting off in t he vehicle to
ensure safety of driving.
Floor mat
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly interfering with the pedals while driv-
ing. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may become difficult to stop the vehicle. This could lead to an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When installing the driver’s floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed for
other models or different model year vehicles, even if they are Toyota Genuine floor mats.
●Only use floor mats designed for the driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips)
provided.
●Do not use two or more floor mats
on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bottom-
side up or upside-down.
■Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely fixed in the correct place with all the provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check after cleaning the floor.

1-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P.35)
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( P. 4 9 )
Make sure that you can see back-
ward clearly by adjusting the inside
and outside rear view mirrors prop-
erly. ( P.165, 166)
WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the driver’s seat while driving.Doing so could cause the driver to
lose control of the vehicle.
●Do n ot p la ce a cu s hi on b et we en t he
driver or passenger and the seatback.A cushion may prevent correct pos-
ture from being achieved, and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from
locking in place. This may lead to an accident and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start
to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to con-
tinue driving and take a break immediately.

Hybrid system features
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from
conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with th e
characteristics of your vehic le, and operate it with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an
electric motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions,
improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.

motor) drives the 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 shift lever is in N, the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
not being charged.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) requires charging or the engine
is warming up, etc., the gasoline
engine will not automatically 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 neces-
sary.
■When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
added to that of the gasoline engine
via the electric motor (traction
motor).
■When braking (regenerative
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 situations, kinetic
energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the
recharging of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery). • The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or
B. • The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or B.
●Vehicles with GPF system: While the GPF system ( P.335) is operating to
regenerate the exhaust gas filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may not be recharged.
■EV indicator
The EV indicator comes on when the vehicle is driven using only the electric motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.
■Conditions in which the gasoline
engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●When the heater is switched on
Depending on the circumstances, the
gasoline engine may also not stop auto- matically in other situations.
■Charging the hybrid battery (trac-tion battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-tery does not need to be charged from
an outside source. However, if the vehi- cle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will

slowly discharge. For this reason, be
sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery
(traction battery) becomes fully dis- charged and you are unable to start the hybrid system, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
 P. 4 7 8
■After the 12-volt battery has dis-
charged or when the terminal has been removed and installed during exchange, etc.
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by the hybrid battery (traction battery). If this
continues for a few days, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sound or vibra-
tion even though the vehicle is able to move with the “READY” indicator is illu-minated. For safety, apply the parking
brake and make sure to shift the shift lever to P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may
occur when the hybrid system is operat- ing and are not a malfunction:
●Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
●Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) under the rear seats when the hybrid system
starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a
snap or soft clank will be emitted from the hybrid battery (traction battery), under the rear seats, when the hybrid
system is started or stopped.
●Sounds from the hybrid system may
be heard when the back door is open.
●Sounds may be heard from the trans-
mission when the gasoline engine
starts or stops, when driving at low
speeds, or during idling.
●Engine sounds may be heard when
accelerating sharply.
●Sounds may be heard due to regener-
ative braking when the brake pedal is depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
●Vibration may be felt when the gaso-line engine starts or stops.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side of
the lower part of the rear left seat.
■Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do not
dispose of the vehicle yourself.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized. ( P.498)
When the gasoline engine is off
while driving, a sound is produced
to warn pedestrians, people riding
bicycles or other people and vehi-
cles in the surrounding area that
the vehicle is approaching. The
pitch of the sound adjusts accord-
ing to vehicle speed. When vehicle
speed is approximately 25 km/h (16
mph) or more, the warning system
turns off.
■Acoustic vehicle alerting system
In the following cases, the acoustic vehi- cle alerting system sound may be diffi-cult for pedestrians, people riding
bicycles or other people and vehicles in
