For your information

Main Owner’s Manual

Please note that this manual covers all models and all equipment, including
options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Noise from under vehicle after turning off the hybrid system

Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota
vehicles are currently available on the market. You should know that Toyota
does not warrant these products and is not responsible for their
performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may cause to,
or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products.
Modification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification
may not be covered under warranty.

20

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:

● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

● Cruise control system

● Anti-lock brake system

● SRS airbag system

● Seat belt pretensioner system

Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe­cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.

High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow­ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.

Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo­nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con­trol batteries.

21

Vehicle control and operation data recording

Your Toyota is equipped with sophisticated computers that record certain
information about your vehicle’s operation, such as:

• Engine speed

• Motor speed

• Accelerator status

• Brake status

• Vehicle speed

• Shift position
The data recorded varies according to the grade level and options the vehi-

cle is equipped with. The computers do not record conversations, sound or
pictures.

● Data usage

Toyota may use the data recorded in these computers to diagnose malfunc­tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

Toyota will not disclose the recorded data to a third party except:

• With the consent of the vehicle owner or with the consent of the lessee if
the vehicle is leased

• In response to an official request by the police, a court of law or a govern­ment agency

• For research purposes where the data is not tied to a specific vehicle or
vehicle owner

22

● Event data recorder

This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main pur­pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed
to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.

The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:

• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;

• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-

tened;

• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake

pedal; and,

• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in

which crashes and injuries occur.

NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situ­ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving condi­tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

23

● Disclosure of the EDR data

Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except
when:

• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a leased vehicle)
is obtained

• Officially requested by the police or other authorities

• For use by Toyota in a law suit

• Ordered by a court of law

However, if necessary, Toyota will:

• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance

• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes without disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

● Safety Connect

If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed to those ser­vices, please refer to the Safety Connect Telematics Subscription Service
Agreement for information on data collected and its usage.

24

CAUTION

■ General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ­ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi­cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis­tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.

■ General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat
build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

■ Disposal of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery having 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 battery must be disposed of by your Toyota dealer
or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery is not disposed of properly, it
may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.

1-1. Hybrid system

Hybrid system

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from

conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the char-

acteristics of your vehicle, and operate 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.

Gasoline engine

Electric motor (traction motor)

■ When stopped/during take-off

The gasoline engine stops when the vehicle is stopped. During
start-off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. At
slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine
is stopped and the motor is used.

28

1-1. Hybrid system

■ During normal driving

The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery as necessary.

■ When accelerating sharply

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 electric motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery).

Vehicle Proximity Notification System

When the gasoline engine is off while driving, a sound is produced to
warn pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles
in the surrounding area that the vehicle is approaching. The pitch of
the sound adjusts according to vehicle speed. When vehicle speed is
approximately 16 mph (25 km/h) or more, the warning system turns
off.

1

Before driving

29

1-1. Hybrid system

■ 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 (traction battery).

● The accelerator pedal is released.

● The brake pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D or B.

■ EV indicator

The EV indicator comes on when driving
the vehicle using only the electric motor
(traction motor).

■ 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

30

1-1. Hybrid system

■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)

● As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction 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 will slowly dis­charge. 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 becomes fully discharged and you are unable to jump-start the vehi­cle with the 12-volt battery, contact your Toyota dealer.

● If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be

charged. Always put the shift lever in P when the vehicle is stopped.
When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shift lever in D
or B to avoid discharging the battery.

■ Charging the 12-volt battery

→P. 463

■ After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or

removed

The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running on the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your Toyota
dealer.

1-1. Hybrid system

■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able
to move. Always shift the shift lever to P when parked.

The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is
operating and are not a malfunction:

● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind

the rear seats when the hybrid system starts or stops.

● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid is open.

● Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the hybrid system

starts or stops.

● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal

is depressed.

● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent beside the rear

left seat.

■ Vehicle Proximity Notification System

In the following cases, the Vehicle Proximity Notification System sound may
be difficult for pedestrians, people riding bicycles or other people and vehi­cles in the surrounding area to hear:

● When there is a lot of noise in the vicinity

● When it is raining or during strong winds

● When in the area surrounding the rear of the vehicle, rather than in front

of the vehicle

■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal

Contact your Toyota dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and dis­posal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.

1-1. Hybrid system

Hybrid battery air vent

There is an air intake vent beside
the rear left seat for the purpose
of cooling the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If the vent
becomes blocked, the hybrid
battery may overheat, leading to
a reduction in hybrid battery out­put.

Emergency shut off system

When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and
stops the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel
leakage. If the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will
not restart. To restart the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.

Hybrid warning message

A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in
the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.

If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
instructions. (→P. 423)

34

1-1. Hybrid system

■ If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 12-

volt battery has been disconnected

The hybrid system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.

■ Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel
level warning light (→P. 416) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel,
the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to
add to make the low fuel level warning light go out is about 3.0 gal. [11.3 L,

2.5 Imp. gal] when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary
when the vehicle is on a slope.)

■ Electromagnetic waves

● High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles incorporate electro-

magnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount
of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances.

● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced

radio parts.

■ Hybrid battery (traction battery)

The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving
style and driving conditions.

CAUTION

■ High voltage precautions

The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys­tem. DC and AC high voltage 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 voltage parts,

cables or their connectors.

● 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 caution labels attached to the vehicle.

● Never try to open the service plug

access hole located in the luggage
compartment. The service plug is used
only when the vehicle is serviced and is
subject to high voltage.

CAUTION

■ Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury:

● Pull your vehicle off the road, shift the shift lever to P, apply the parking

brake, and turn the hybrid system off.

● Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables or connectors.

● If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric

shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.

● If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline

electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). 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 immediate medical attention.

● If a fire occurs in the hybrid vehicle, leave the vehicle 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 front wheels raised. If the

wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on the ground
when towing, the motor may continue to generate electricity. This may
cause a fire. (

● 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.

■ Nickel-metal hydride battery

Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of
improperly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe
burns and electrical shock that may result in death or serious injury.

■ Emergency shut off system

● Carefully check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts or cables.

Never touch the parts or cables. (→P. 33)

● 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.

Hybrid vehicle driving tips

For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following

points:

■ Using Eco drive mode

(→P. 170)

■ Use of the Hybrid System Indicator

More Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator needle within the Eco area.

■ When braking the vehicle

Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.

■ Delays

Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic
lights, will lead to bad fuel consumption. Check traffic reports before
leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When encountering a
delay, gently release the brake pedal to allow the vehicle to move for­ward slightly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator pedal. Doing so
can help control excessive gasoline consumption.

■ Highway driving

Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before stop­ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the acceler­ator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of electrical energy
can be retained when slowing down.

■ Air conditioning

Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help con­trol excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode. Doing
so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioning and reduce fuel
consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut out
until the gasoline engine and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will
consume fuel. Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding
overuse of the heater.

48

1-1. Hybrid system

■ Checking tire inflation pressure

Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel consumption. Use a tire that is appropriate
for the season.

■ Luggage

Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid car­rying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack can also cause
poor fuel consumption.

■ Warming up before driving

Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, frequently driv­ing short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly warm up, which
can lead to poor fuel consumption.

● Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before

opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to fall closed again
after it is opened.

● When opening or closing the trunk lid, 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 trunk is about to open or close.

● Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it

may move abruptly in strong wind.

● The trunk lid may fall if it is not opened

fully. It is more difficult to open or close
the trunk lid on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the trunk lid
unexpectedly opening or closing by
itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is fully
open and secure before using the
trunk.

● When closing the trunk lid, take extra

care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.

● When closing the trunk lid, make sure

to press it lightly on its outer surface.

Seat belt pretensioners (front seats)

The pretensioner helps the seat
belt to quickly restrain the occu­pant by retracting the seat belt
when the vehicle is subjected to
certain types of severe frontal or
side collision.

86

The pretensioner may not acti­vate in the event of a minor frontal
impact, a minor side impact, a
rear impact or a vehicle rollover.

1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

■ Emergency locking retractor (ELR)

The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.

■ Automatic locking retractor (ALR)

When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (→P. 137)

■ Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (→P. 85)

Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu­pants. Extend the shoulder belt com­pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.

If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.

■ People suffering illness

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (→P. 85)

87

1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

■ Child seat belt usage

The seat belts of your vehicle were principally designed for persons of adult
size.

● Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child

becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat belt. (→P. 133)

● When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat

belt, follow the instructions on P. 85 regarding seat belt usage.

■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli­sions.

■ Seat belt extender

If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.

■ Rear seat belt

88

Use the seat belt after passing it through
the guide if the seat belt comes free from
the guide.

1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

■ Wearing a seat belt

● Ensure that all passengers wear a seat belt.

● Always wear a seat belt properly.

● Each seat belt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seat belt

for more than one person at once, including children.

● Toyota recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always

use a seat belt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.

● To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than

necessary. The seat belt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.

● Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.

● Always wear your seat belt low and snug across your hips.

■ When children are in the vehicle

Do not allow children to play with the seat belt. If the seat belt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.

■ Seat belt pretensioners

● Do not place anything, such as a cushion, on the front passenger's seat.

Doing so will disperse the passenger's weight, which prevents the sensor
from detecting the passenger's weight properly. As a result, the seat belt
pretensioner for the front passenger's seat may not activate in the event of
a collision.

● If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will come on. In

that case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced at
your Toyota dealer.

1

Before driving

89

1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

■ Adjustable shoulder anchor

Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the center of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of protection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. (→P. 8 6)

■ Seat belt damage and wear

● Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be

jammed in the door.

● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose

parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Damaged seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.

● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.

If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.

● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been

involved in a serious accident, even if there is no obvious damage.

● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the

seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your Toyota dealer.
Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating
properly, resulting in death or serious injury.

● Always make sure the shoulder belt passes through the guide when using

the seat belt. Failure to properly position the belt may reduce the amount
of protection in an accident and could lead to death or serious injury in a
collision or sudden stop.

● Always make sure that the seat belt is not twisted, does not get caught in

the guide or the seatback and is arranged in the proper position.

90

1-4. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)

CAUTION

■ Using a seat belt extender

● Do not wear the seat belt extender if you can fasten the seat belt without

the extender.

● Do not use the seat belt extender when installing a child restraint system

because the belt will not securely hold the child restraint system, increas­ing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.

● The personalized extender may not be safe on another vehicle, when

used by another person, or at a different seating position other than the
one originally intended.

NOTICE

■ When using a seat belt extender

When releasing the seat belt, press on the buckle release button on the
extender, not on the seat belt.
This helps prevent damage to the vehicle interior and the extender itself.
