Hybrid system precautions

Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high volt-
age system (about 650 V at maximum) as well as contains parts
that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating.
Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

1-3. Hybrid system

There is an air intake vent under
the right side of the rear seat for
the purpose of cooling the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If the
vent becomes blocked, charging/
discharging of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) may become lim-
ited.

When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks 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.

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. (

■

If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 12-
volt battery is disconnected

The hybrid system may not start. In this 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. 458) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the

hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about
2.3 gal. [8.8 L, 1.9 Imp. gal.] when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.)

■

Electromagnetic waves

●

High voltage parts and cables on hybrid vehicles incorporate electromag-
netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec-
tromagnetic 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.

■

Starting the hybrid system in an extremely cold environment

When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is extremely cold (below approxi-
mately -22°F [-30°C]) under the influence of the outside temperature, it may
not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the hybrid
system again after the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
increases due to the outside temperature increase etc.

82

WARNING

■

High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-
tem. 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 warning labels attached to the vehicle.

●

Do not touch the service plug located
under the right side of the rear seat. The
service plug is used only when the vehi-
cle is serviced and is subject to high
voltage.

WARNING

■

Road accident cautions

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

●

Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever
to P, and turn the hybrid system off.

●

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 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 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. (



P. 451)

●

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 electrolyte is leaking from the hybrid battery (traction battery), do not
approach the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that the hybrid battery (traction battery) is dam-
aged, the internal construction of the battery will prevent a large amount
of electrolyte from leaking out. However, any electrolyte that does leak out
will give off a vapor. This vapor is an irritant to skin and eyes and could
cause acute poisoning if inhaled.

●

Do not touch the hybrid battery (traction battery) if liquid is leaking from or
adhering to it. If electrolyte (carbonic-based organic electrolyte) from the
hybrid battery (traction battery) comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it
could cause blindness or skin wounds. In the unlikely event that it comes
into contact with the eyes or skin, wash it off immediately with a large
amount of water, and seek immediate medical attention.

●

Do not bring burning or high-temperature items close to the electrolyte.
The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.

84

WARNING

■

Hybrid battery (traction battery)

●

Your vehicle contains a sealed lithium-ion battery.

●

Never resell, hand over or modify the hybrid battery. To prevent accidents,
hybrid batteries that have been removed from a disposed vehicle are col-
lected through Toyota dealer. Do not dispose of the battery yourself.
Unless the battery is properly collected, the following may occur, resulting
in death or serious injury:
• The hybrid battery may be illegally disposed of or dumped, and it is haz-

ardous to the environment 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

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 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 dis-
posed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or
serious injury.

WARNING

■

Caution for use while driving

●

When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra
attention to the safety of the area around the vehicle.

●

Do not look continuously at the multi-information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects on the road, etc. ahead of the
vehicle.

■

The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.

■

Cautions during setting up the display

As the hybrid system needs to be running during setting up the display,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or
a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

While setting up the display

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.

To take out the mechanical key,
slide the release lever and take
the key out.

The mechanical key can only be
inserted in one direction, as the
key only has grooves on one side.
If the key cannot be inserted in a
lock cylinder, turn it over and re-
attempt to insert it.
After using the mechanical key, store it in the electronic key. Carry the
mechanical key together with the electronic key. If the electronic key bat-
tery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will
need the mechanical key. (

Electronic key battery depletion

●

The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.

●

If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the hybrid
system stops.

●

As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. (



P. 439)

• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

●

To reduce key battery depletion when the electronic key is to not be used for
long periods of time, set the electronic key to the battery-saving mode.
(
