Hybrid system Hybrid battery air vent There is an air intake vent beside the rear left seat for the purpose the hybrid battery of cooling If (traction battery). the vent becomes blocked, the hybrid battery may overheat, leading to a reduction in hybrid battery out- put. 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. 35 1-1. Hybrid system CAUTION ■High voltage precautions The 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 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. 36 1 1-1. Hybrid system 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. (→P. 409) ●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. 37 1-1. Hybrid system NOTICE ■Hybrid battery air vent ●Do not place foreign objects over or in front of the air vent. The hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) may overheat and be damaged. ●Clean the air vent regularly to prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery) from overheating. ●Do not wet the air vent as this may cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery). ●Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery may be damaged. 38 1-1.

Hybrid system 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 for- ward 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 stop- ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the acceler- ator 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 con- trol 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 car- rying 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 driv- ing short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly warm up, which can lead to poor fuel consumption. 49 1-2. Key information Keys The following keys are provided with the vehicle. Electronic keys • Operating the smart key system (→P. 53) • Operating the wireless remote control function (→P. 66) Mechanical keys Key number plate To take out the mechanical key, push the release button 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 battery is depleted or the entry function does not operate properly, you will need the mechanical key. (→P. 458) Using the mechanical key 50 1-2.
