The recorded data varies according  
to the vehicle grade level, options  
and destinations with which it is  
equipped. 
These computers do not record  
conversations or sounds, and only  
record images outside of the vehi- 
cle in certain situations. 
 Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded in  
this computer to diagnose malfunc-
tions, conduct research and develop-
ment, and improve quality. 
Toyota will not disclose the recorded  
data to a third party except:

1-1. For safe use
“PASSENGER AIR BAG” indicator 
Airbag sensor assembly 
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS  air- 
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As the  airbags  
deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickly fills the  airbags with non- 
toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy (inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising etc.,  may be sustained from SRS airbags,  
due to the extremely high speed  deployment (inflation) by hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel hub, airbag cover and inflator) as well as the front seats, parts of the  
front and rear pillars, and roof side  rails, may be hot for several minutes.  
The airbag itself may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped and  fuel supply to the engine will be  
stopped. ( P.82)
●The brakes and stop lights will be con- 
trolled automatically. ( P.329)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- 
ically. ( P.351)
●The emergency flashers will turn on  
automatically. ( P.426)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol- 
lowing situations occur, the system is  
designed to send an emergency call*  to the eCall control center, notifying  
them of the vehicle’s location (without  needing to push the “SOS” button) and an agent will attempt to speak  
with the occupants to ascertain the  level of emergency and assistance required. If the occupants are unable  
to communicate, the agent automati- cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary  
emergency services. ( P.65) • An SRS airbag is deployed. 
• A seat belt pretensioner is activated. • The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.*: In some cases, the call cannot be  
made. ( P. 6 6 )
■SRS airbag deployment conditions  
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in 
the event of an impact that exceeds  the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi- 
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]  frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform). 
However, this threshold velocity will be  
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such  as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact 
• If the vehicle is involved in an under- ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “under- 
rides”, or goes under, the bed of a  truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt pretensioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions  
(SRS side and curtain shield air- bags and SRS front seat center air-bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-bags and SRS front seat center air- 
bags will deploy in the event of an  impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding  
to the impact force produced by an  approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-

Hybrid system features
Your vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle. It has characteristics differ- 
ent from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familia r with  
the characteristics of your vehicle, 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.327) 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 4
■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 electric 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.494)
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
