WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Do not touch the disc wheels or

the area around the brakes

immediately after the vehicle

has been driven.

After the vehicle has been

driven the disc wheels and the

area around the brakes will be

extremely hot. Touching these

areas with hands, feet or other

body parts while changing a tire,

etc. may result in burns.

●

Failure to follow these precau-

tions could cause the wheel

nuts to loosen and the tire to fall

off, resulting in death or serious

injury.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened

with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf

(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon

as possible after changing

wheels.

• When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or defor-

mations in the bolt screws, nut

threads or bolt holes of the

wheel, have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

• When installing the wheel nuts,

be sure to install them with the

tapered ends facing inward.

●

For vehicles with power back

door: In cases such as when

replacing tires, make sure to

turn off the power back door

system (

■

When using the compact spare

tire

As the compact spare tire is not

equipped with a tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter (if

equipped), low inflation pressure of

the spare tire will not be indicated by

the tire pressure warning system.

Also, if you replace the compact

spare tire after the tire pressure

warning light comes on, the light

remains on.

■

When the compact spare tire is

attached

The vehicle height may become

lower when driving with the compact

spare tire compared to when driving

with standard tires.

started by push-starting.

■

To prevent 12-volt battery dis-

charge

●

Turn off the headlights and the

audio system while the hybrid sys-

tem is off.

●

Turn off any unnecessary electri-

cal components when the vehicle

is running at a low speed for an

extended period, such as in heavy

traffic.

■

When the 12-volt battery is

removed or discharged

●

Information stored in the ECU is

cleared. When the 12-volt battery

is depleted, have the vehicle

inspected at your Toyota dealer.

●

Some systems may require initial-

ization. (



P.711)

■

When removing the 12-volt bat-

tery terminals

When the 12-volt battery terminals

are removed, the information stored

in the ECU is cleared. Before

removing the 12-volt battery termi-

nals, contact your Toyota dealer.

■

Charging the 12-volt battery

The electricity stored in the 12-volt

battery will discharge gradually even

when the vehicle is not in use, due

to natural discharge and the drain-

ing effects of certain electrical appli-

ances. If the vehicle is left for a long

time, the 12-volt battery may dis-

charge, and the hybrid system may

be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-

tery recharges automatically while

the hybrid system is operating.)

■

When recharging or replacing

the 12-volt battery (vehicles

without smart key system)

The hybrid system may not start on

the first attempt after the 12-volt bat-

tery has recharged but will start nor-

mally after the second attempt. This

is not a malfunction.

■

When recharging or replacing

the 12-volt battery (vehicles

with smart key system)

●

In some cases, it may not be pos-

sible to unlock the doors using the

smart key system when the 12-

volt battery is discharged. Use the

wireless remote control or the

mechanical key to lock or unlock

the doors.

●

The hybrid system may not start

on the first attempt after the 12-

volt battery has recharged but will

start normally after the second

attempt. This is not a malfunction.

●

The power switch mode is memo-

rized by the vehicle. When the 12-

volt battery is reconnected, the

system will return to the mode it

was in before the 12-volt battery

was discharged. Before discon-

necting the 12-volt battery, turn

the power switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the

power switch was in before the

12-volt battery discharged, be

especially careful when recon-

necting the 12-volt battery.

●

Some systems may require initial-

ization. (



P.711)

■

When replacing the 12-volt bat-

tery

●

Use a 12-volt battery that con-

forms to European regulations.

●

• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat-

tery cannot be properly secured.

• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,

even if the time period where the

vehicle is not used is a short time,

the 12-volt battery may discharge

and hybrid system may not be

able to start.

●

Use a ventilation type calcium bat-

tery

●

Use a 12-volt battery with a han-

dle. If a 12-volt battery without a

handle is used, removal is more

difficult.

WARNING

■

When inspecting under the

hood of your vehicle

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in seri-

ous injury such as burns.

●

If steam is seen coming from

under the hood, do not open the

hood until the steam has sub-

sided. The engine compart-

ment may be very hot.

●

After the hybrid system has

been turned off, check that the

“READY” indicator is off.

When the hybrid system is oper-

ating, the gasoline engine may

automatically start, or the cool-

ing fan may suddenly operate

even if the gasoline engine

stops. Do not touch or approach

rotating parts such as the fan,

which may lead to fingers or

clothing (especially a tie, a scarf

or a muffler) getting caught,

resulting in serious injury.

●

Do not loosen the coolant reser-

voir cap while the hybrid system

and radiator are hot.

High temperature steam or

coolant could spray out.

NOTICE

■

When adding engine/power

control unit coolant

Add coolant slowly after the

hybrid system has cooled down

sufficiently. Adding cool coolant to

a hot hybrid system too quickly

can cause damage to the hybrid

system.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the

cooling system

Observe the following precau-

tions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant

with foreign matter (such as

sand or dust, etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additive.

If the vehicle becomes

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a

stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle

back and forth to free it, make

sure the surrounding area is clear

to avoid striking other vehicles,

objects or people. The vehicle

may also lunge forward or lunge

back suddenly as it becomes free.

Use extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift

lever with the accelerator pedal

depressed.
This may lead to unexpected

rapid acceleration of the vehicle

that may cause an accident

resulting in death or serious

injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damaging the trans-

mission and other compo-

nents

●

Avoid spinning the wheels and

depressing the accelerator

pedal more than necessary.

●

If the vehicle remains stuck

even after these procedures are

performed, the vehicle may

require towing to be freed.

Vehicle specifications

Genuine Motor Oil” or equiva-
lent to satisfy the following
grade and viscosity.
Oil grade:
API SN/RC multigrade engine
oil
Recommended viscosity:
SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.

Outside temperature

Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates

the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability.
Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.

• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the

viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher

viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.

How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability prob-

lems may be caused by the brand of

gasoline you are using. If driveability

problems persist, try changing the

brand of gasoline. If this does not

correct the problem, consult your

Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of

gasoline containing detergent

additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of

gasoline that contains detergent

additives to avoid the build-up of

engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. con-

tains minimum detergent additives

to clean and/or keep clean intake

systems, per EPA’s lowest addi-

tives concentration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the

use of Top Tier Detergent Gaso-

line. For more information on Top

Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list

of marketers, please go to the offi-

cial website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of

low emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates

such as ethers and ethanol, as well

as reformulated gasolines, are avail-

able in some cities. These fuels are

typically acceptable for use, provid-

ing they meet other fuel require-

ments.
Toyota recommends these fuels,

since the formulations allow for

reduced vehicle emissions.

■

Non-recommendation of the

use of blended gasoline

●

Use only gasoline containing up to

15% ethanol.

DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gas-

oline that could contain more than

15% ethanol, including from any

pump labeled E30 (30% ethanol

), E50 (50% ethanol

), E85

(85% ethanol

) (which are only

some examples of fuel containing

more than 15% ethanol).

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle,

be sure that it has an octane rat-

ing no lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the

use of gasoline containing metha-

nol.

■

Non-recommendation of the

use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane

enhancing additive called MMT

(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manga-

nese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the

use of gasoline that contains MMT.

If fuel containing MMT is used, your

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded
gasoline in your vehicle.

Select octane rating 87
(Research Octane Number
91) or higher. Use of
unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knock-
ing. Persistent knocking
can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you
use should meet the specifica-
tions of ASTM D4814 in the
U.S.A..

The malfunction indicator lamp on

the instrument cluster may come on.

If this happens, contact your Toyota

dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light

knocking for a short time while

accelerating or driving uphill. This

is normal and there is no need for

concern.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If

improper fuels are used, the

engine will be damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause

damage to your vehicle’s three-

way catalytic converters caus-

ing the emission control system

to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than

the type previously stated.

Other gasohol may cause fuel

system damage or vehicle per-

formance problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with

an octane number or rating

lower than the level previously

stated will cause persistent

heavy knocking.

At worst, this will lead to engine

damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot start-

ing, vaporization, engine knock-

ing, etc.) is encountered after

using a different type of fuel, dis-

continue the use of that type of

fuel.

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It

can damage your vehicle’s paint.

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to
these grades. Quality grades
can be found where applicable

on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum
section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course.

For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. Performance may dif-

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and
C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of

performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades
of a tire assume that it is properly
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.

Module de capteur de coussin gonflable

Votre véhicule est doté de COUSSINS GONFLABLES ÉVOLUÉS
dont la conception s’appuie sur les normes de sécurité des véhicules
à moteur américains (FMVSS208). Le module de capteur de coussin
gonflable (ECU) contrôle le déploiement des coussins gonflables en
fonction des informations obtenues des capteurs et d’autres élé-
ments affichés dans le diagramme des composants du système ci-
dessus. Ces informations comprennent des données relatives à la
gravité de l’accident et aux occupants. Au moment du déploiement
des coussins gonflables, une réaction chimique se produit dans les
gonfleurs de coussin gonflable et les coussins gonflables se remplis-
sent rapidement d’un gaz non toxique pour aider à limiter le mouve-
ment des occupants.

Précautions relatives aux

coussins gonflables SRS

Observez les précautions suiva-

ntes en ce qui concerne les cous-

sins gonflables SRS.

Négliger de le faire pourrait occa-

sionner des blessures graves,

voire mortelles.

●

Le conducteur et tous les pas-

sagers du véhicule doivent por-

ter leur ceinture de sécurité de

la manière appropriée.

Les coussins gonflables SRS

sont des dispositifs supplémen-

taires qui doivent être utilisés

avec les ceintures de sécurité.

●

Le coussin gonflable SRS du

conducteur se déploie avec une

force considérable et peut occa-

sionner des blessures graves,

voire mortelles, notamment lor-

sque le conducteur se trouve

très près du coussin gonflable.

La National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

aux États-Unis, fait les recom-

mandations suivantes :

La zone à risque du coussin gon-
flable du conducteur couvre
2 à 3 in. (50 à 75 mm) de la zone
de déploiement du coussin gon-
flable. Pour assurer une marge de
sécurité suffisante, restez à 10 in.
(250 mm) du coussin gonflable.
Cette distance est mesurée
depuis le centre du volant jusqu’à
votre sternum. Si maintenant
vous vous tenez assis à moins de
10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez
changer votre position de con-
duite de plusieurs manières :

• Reculez votre siège à la posi-

tion maximale vous permettant

d’atteindre encore aisément les

pédales.

• Inclinez légèrement le dossier

du siège.

Bien que les véhicules soient

conçus différemment, la plupart

des conducteurs peuvent main-

tenir une distance de 10 in.

(250 mm), même si leur siège

se trouve complètement vers

l’avant, simplement en inclinant

un peu le dossier du siège vers

l’arrière. Si la visibilité avant est

moindre après avoir incliné le

dossier de votre siège, utilisez

un coussin ferme et non glissant

pour être assis plus haut ou

relevez le siège si cette option

est disponible sur votre

véhicule.

• Si votre volant est réglable en

hauteur, inclinez-le vers le bas.

Cela vous permet d’orienter le

coussin gonflable vers votre

buste plutôt que vers votre tête

et vers votre cou.

Le siège doit être réglé de la

manière recommandée ci-dessus

par la NHTSA, tout en gardant le

contrôle des pédales et du volant,

ainsi que la vue sur les com-

mandes du tableau de bord.
