Steps to take in an emergency Warning light Warning light/Details Correction procedure Master warning light A buzzer sounds and the warning light comes on and flashes to indicate that the master warning system has detected a malfunc- tion. →P. 406 *1: Open door warning buzzer: The open door warning buzzer sounds to alert the driver that one or more of the doors is not fully closed (with the vehicle having reached a speed of 3 mph [5 km/h]). *2:Driver's and front passenger’s seat belt reminders: The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belts reminder sound to alert the driver and front passenger that his or her seat belt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds intermittently for 10 seconds after the vehicle has reached a speed of at least 12 mph (20 km/h). Then, if the seat belt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 20 more seconds. ■Front passenger detection sensor and passenger seat belt reminder ●If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash, even if a passen- ger is not sitting in the seat. ●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen- ger, and the warning light may not operate properly. ■When the tire pressure warning light comes on Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level. Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch does not turn off the tire pressure warning light. ■The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper- ature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes). 401 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency ■When a tire is replaced with a spare tire The compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the tire pressure warning light will not turn off even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare tire. Replace the spare tire with the repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after a few minutes. ■If the tire pressure warning system is inoperative The tire pressure warning system will be disabled in the following condi- tions: (When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmit- ters are used. ●If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters is not registered in the tire pressure warning computer. ●If the tire inflation pressure is 73 psi (500 kPa, 5.1 kgf/cm2 or bar) or higher. The tire pressure warning system may be disabled in the following condi- tions: (When the condition becomes normal, the system will work properly.) ●If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies are nearby. ●If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle. ●If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is installed. ●If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular around the wheels or wheel housings. ●If non-genuine Toyota wheels are used. (Even if you use Toyota wheels, the tire pressure warning system may not work properly with some types of tires.) ●If tire chains are used. ■If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking frequently for 1 minute If the tire pressure warning light comes on after blinking frequently for 1 minute when the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode, have it checked by your Toyota dealer. 402 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency ■Customization that can be configured at Toyota dealer The vehicle speed linked seat belt reminder buzzer can be disabled. (Customizable features →P. 470) However, Toyota recommends that the seat belt reminder buzzer be opera- tional to alert the driver and front passenger that the seat belts are not fas- tened. CAUTION ■If the tire pressure warning light comes on Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury. ●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately. ●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pres- sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If the tire is flat, change to the spare tire and have the flat tire repaired by the nearest Toyota dealer. ●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes. ■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately. 403 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION ■Maintenance of the tires Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ- ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi- nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under- inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub- stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). 404 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat- ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi- cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi- nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi- nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari- ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres- sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter- nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly. NOTICE ■Precaution when installing a different tire When a tire of a different specification or maker is installed, the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate properly. 405 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If a warning message is displayed If a warning is shown on the multi-information display, stay calm and perform the following actions: Master warning light The master warning light also comes on or flashes in order to indicate that a message is cur- rently being displayed on the multi-information display.

Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION ■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or explosions Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam- mable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery. ●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal. ●Do not allow the ends of the jumper cable used for the “+” terminals to come into contact with any other parts or metal surface in the area, such as brackets or unpainted metal. ●Do not allow the “+” and “-” terminals of the jumper cables to come into contact with each other. ●Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt battery. ■12-volt battery precautions The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when handling the 12-volt battery. ●When working with the 12-volt battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing or the vehicle body. ●Do not lean over the 12-volt battery. ●In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be received. ●Always wash your hands after handling the 12-volt battery support, termi- nals, and other battery-related parts. ●Do not allow children near the 12-volt battery. 436 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency NOTICE ■When handling jumper cables Be careful that the jumper cables do not become tangled in the cooling fans or any of the belts when connecting or disconnecting them. 437 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If your vehicle overheats The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating: ● “WATER TEMP” is shown on the multi-information display: The engine may be overheating. ● “HYBRID SYSTEM OVER HEAT” is shown on the multi-informa- tion display: The power control unit may be overheating. Follow the correction procedure as described below. Correction procedures ■ If “WATER TEMP” is shown on the multi-information display STEP 1 Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condition- ing system. Check to see if steam is coming out from under the hood. If you see steam: STEP 2 Stop the hybrid system. Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides and then restart the hybrid system. If you do not see steam: Leave the hybrid system operating and carefully lift the hood. STEP 3 Check to see if the cooling fan is operating. If the fans are operating: Wait until the temperature of the engine (shown on the instrument cluster) begins to fall and then stop the hybrid system. If the fans are not operating: Stop the hybrid system immediately and call your Toyota dealer. 438 STEP 4 STEP 5 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency After the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently, check the engine coolant level and inspect the radiator core (radia- tor) for any leaks. Add engine coolant if necessary. Water can be used in an emer- gency if engine coolant is unavail- able. (→P. 450) ■ If “HYBRID SYSTEM OVER HEAT” is shown on the multi-infor- mation display STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condition- ing system. Leave the hybrid system operating and carefully lift the hood. Check if the cooling fans are operating. If the fans are operating: Wait until “HYBRID SYSTEM OVER HEAT” disappears and then stop the hybrid system. If the message does not disappear, call your Toyota dealer. If the fans are not operating: Stop the hybrid system immediately and call your local Toyota dealer. 439 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency STEP 4 STEP 5 After the hybrid system has cooled down, check the power control unit coolant level and inspect the cooling system for leaks. Add power control unit coolant if necessary. Water can be used in an emer- gency if power control unit cool- ant is unavailable. (→P. 450) Have the vehicle checked at the nearest Toyota dealer as soon as possible. ■Overheating The following symptoms may occur when your vehicle is overheating: ●Hybrid system output decreases. ●Steam is coming from the engine area. 440 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency CAUTION ■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of your vehicle ●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot, caus- ing serious injury such as burns. ●With a hybrid vehicle, there are times when the gasoline engine automati- cally starts to run or the cooling fans suddenly start to operate. Do not touch or approach the rotating parts of the belt or fans. Doing so may lead to fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in an accidental injury. ●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the hybrid system and radia- tor are hot. Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam released under pressure. NOTICE ■When adding engine/power control unit coolant Wait until the hybrid system has cooled down before adding engine/power control unit coolant. When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot hybrid sys- tem too quickly can cause damage to the hybrid system. 441 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If the vehicle becomes stuck Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow. STEP 1 Stop the hybrid system. Set the parking brake and put the shift lever in P. Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire. Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide traction under the tires. Restart the hybrid system. Shift the shift lever to the D or R position and carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehicle. STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5 ■Emergency hooks (if equipped) When your vehicle becomes stuck and cannot move, the emergency hooks are used for another vehicle to pull your vehi- cle out in an emergency. Your vehicle is not designed to tow another vehicle. CAUTION ■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle If you choose to rock the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur- rounding area is clear, to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or persons. 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 and result in death or serious injury. 442 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency NOTICE ■To avoid damaging the transmission and other components ●Avoid spinning the wheels. ●If the vehicle remains stuck after trying these procedures, the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
