As it does not indicate the failure of the sys- tem, you can continue driving but avoid hard acceleration because the power is insufficient (which is caused by the bat- tery power deterioration).

Precautions for use The vehicle runs in combination with the gasoline and electric power. Pay special attention to the following items. Be careful of a high voltage and high temperature. Your vehicle is equipped with the orange colored cables connected the hybrid vehicle battery which contain a high volt- age (about 300 V) and to other high volt- age parts.

to

CAUTION

Do not touch or come in contact with orange cables or battery terminals. Electric shock may cause serious in- jury or death. Read all caution labels.

A electric motor, coolant radiator and some other parts reach high temperature when you are driving. Caution labels are applied to these parts. Carefully observe the instructions on these caution labels.

(cid:1) The hybrid system automatically con- trols the level of electrical power re- maining in the hybrid vehicle battery. With the selector lever in a position other than “N”, electricity is generated and charging occurs when the level of electrical power in the hybrid vehicle battery decreases. It is unnecessary to charge the hybrid vehicle battery from outside.

INFORMATION: The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. (It stops during a low load driving, deceleration or when the vehicle stopped.) If the “READY” light remains on, you can start your vehicle using the electric motor even with the gasoline engine stopped. The gasoline engine may not stop auto- matically in the following conditions:

(cid:2) During under gasoline engine warm–

up

(cid:2) During hybrid vehicle battery charg-

ing

(cid:2) When the air conditioning is used in the “MAX” mode, the gasoline engine is frequently used.

If you continue driving, put the selector lever in “D” or “B” position and depress the accelerator pedal. Do not leave it in “N” position. When driving in traffic jam, run in “D” position.

12p009c

Do not put the luggage on the package tray behind the rear seatback. (cid:1) An air vent is provided on the package tray behind the rear seatback to cool the hybrid vehicle battery. If this vent is covered with something, the hybrid vehicle battery will overheat resulting in a reduction of the output performance of the hybrid system.

(cid:1) Do not apply water or put foreign ob- jects over the air vent. Otherwise, it may affect the hybrid vehicle battery adversely and cause damage.

(cid:1) You may hear a cooling fan noise from

the air vent.

For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer. If your vehicle is beyond repair because of accident or something, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer. As sealed Nickel–Metal hydride batteries are used, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer when disposing of your vehicle.

CAUTION

If you are involved in an accident, follow these precautions. (cid:1) Move the vehicle to a safe place and perform the followings to re- duce the risk of high voltage elec- tricity leakage. (cid:1) Depress the brake pedal and put the

selector lever in “P” position.

(cid:1) Apply the parking brake. (cid:1) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”

and remove the key.

(cid:1) If your vehicle has experienced ma- jor damage, you may get an electric shock. To prevent this, never touch the high voltage parts (hybrid ve- hicle battery assembly, etc.) or cables (orange color) connecting these parts. If some exposed elec- tric wiring is protruding inside or outside of the vehicle, an electric shock may also occur. Never touch them.

(cid:1) If the fluid leaks or gets in some part of the vehicle, never touch it because it may be electrolyte (strong alkali) from the hybrid ve- hicle battery. If it gets on your skin or eyes, wash off immediately with a large amount of water, if possible, with boric acid solution, and get immediate medical attention in or- der to help avoid serious injury.

(cid:1) If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it using a fire extinguisher for the exclusive use on electric fires. As a small amount of water may be dangerous, use a large amount of water, for example from a fire hy- drant, or wait fire–fighting team arrival.

Keys

21p001

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master key (black)—This key works in lock. Your Toyota dealer will every need it to make you a new key with built–in transponder chip.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work

in the trunk.

A transponder chip for the hybrid vehicle immobiliser system has been filled in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are required for the system to func- tion correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own dupli- cate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the hybrid system. To protect items locked in the trunk when someone else parks your vehicle for you (such as an attendant or valet), leave the sub key with them. Since the doors and trunk can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

21p002a

NOTICE

When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe the following precautions: (cid:2) When starting the hybrid system, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Doing so may prevent the hy- brid system from starting.

18

21p003a

21p004a

(cid:2) Do not bend the key grip.

(cid:2) When starting the hybrid system, do not use the key in proximity with other transponder keys (includ- ing keys of other vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Doing so may prevent the hybrid system from starting or, may cause the hybrid system to stop soon after it starts. If this hap- pens, remove the key once and then insert it again after taking off other transponder keys (including keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the hybrid system.

(cid:2) Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnet- ic waves.

(cid:2) Do not knock the key hard against

other objects.

(cid:2) Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard or hood under direct sunlight.

(cid:2) Do not put the key in water or

wash it in an ultrasonic washer.

(cid:2) Do not use the key with electromag-

netic materials.

KEY NUMBER PLATE Your key number is shown on the plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number. We recommend that you write down the key number and keep it in a safe place.

The hybrid vehicle immobiliser system is a theft prevention system. When you insert the key in the ignition switch, the transponder chip in the key’s head transmits an electronic code to the ve- hicle. The hybrid system will start, only when the electronic code in the chip corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle.

Seat belts— —Seat belt precautions Toyota strongly urges that the driver and passengers in the vehicle be properly re- strained at all times with the seat belts provided. Failure to do so could increase the chance of injury and/or the severity of injury in accidents. Child. Use a child restraint system ap- propriate for the child until the child be- comes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belts. (For details, see “Child restraint—” on page 61 in this sec- tion.) If a child is too large for a child restraint system, the child should sit in the rear seat and must be restrained using the vehicle’s seat belt. According to accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear seat than in the front seat. If a child must sit in the front seat, the seat belts should be worn properly. If an accident occurs and seat belts are not worn properly, the force of the rapid infla- tion of the airbag may cause death or serious injury to the child.

in their seats Persons should ride their seat belts properly wearing whenever is moving. Otherwise, they are much more likely to suffer serious bodily injury or death in the event of sudden braking or a collision. When using the seat belts, observe the following: (cid:1) Use the belt for only one person at a time. Do not use a single belt for two or more people—even children. (cid:1) Avoid reclining the seatbacks too much. The seat belts provide maxi- mum protection when the seatbacks are in the upright position. (Refer to the seat adjustment instructions.) (cid:1) Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care that they do not get caught or pinched in the seat or doors.

If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor. When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com- pletely extended and retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This fea- ture is used to hold the child restraint system securely. (For details, see “Child restraint—” on page 61 in this Section.) To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more.

Adjust the seat as needed (Front seats only) and sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten your belt, pull it out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle. The seat belt length automatically adjusts to your size and the seat position. The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It also may lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and you can move around freely.

CAUTION

(cid:1) After inserting the tab, make sure the tab and buckle are locked and that the belt is not twisted.

(cid:1) Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in the buckle as this may prevent you from properly latching the tab and buckle.

—Front seat belt pretensioners

22p009

The driver and front passenger’s seat belts pretensioners are designed to be activated in response to a severe fron- tal impact. When the airbag sensor detects the shock of a severe frontal impact, the front seat belts are quickly drawn back in by the retractor so that the belts snugly restrain the front seat occupants. The front seat belt pretensioners are acti- vated even with no passenger in the front seat. Collisions occurring at certain speeds and angles may cause the seat belt preten- sioners and SRS airbags not to operate all together.

45

When the front seat belt pretensioners are activated, an operating noise may be heard and a small amount of smoke–like gas may be released. This gas is harm- less and does not indicate that a fire is occurring. Once front seat belt pretensioners the have been activated, the seat belt retrac- tors remain locked.

CAUTION

Do not modify, remove, strike or open the front seat belt pretensioner as- semblies, airbag sensor or surround- ing area or wiring. Doing any of these may cause sudden operation of the front seat belt pretensioners or disable the system, which could re- sult in death or serious injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious inju- ries.

This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the front seat belt pretensioners are operating proper- ly. The warning light system monitors the air- bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen- sors, side airbag sensors, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, warning light, in- terconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see “Service reminder indica- tors and warning buzzers” on page 91 in Section 2–4.)

The front seat belt pretensioner system mainly consists of the following compo- nents and their locations are shown in the illustration. 1. Front airbag sensors 2. SRS warning light 3.

SRS driver and front passenger airbags

22p013

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys- tem) front airbags are designed to pro- vide further protection for the driver and front passenger in addition to the primary safety protection provided by the seat belts. In response to a severe frontal impact, the SRS front airbags work together with the seat belts to help reduce injury by inflating. The SRS front airbags help to reduce injuries mainly to the driver’s or front passenger’s head or chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The is activated even with no passenger in the front seat. Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seat belt restraint system by the driver and passenger when the SRS airbags are inflated.

CAUTION

A driver or front passenger who is too close to the steering wheel or dashboard during airbag deployment can be killed or seriously injured. To- yota strongly recommends that: (cid:1) The driver sit as far back as pos- sible from the steering wheel while still maintaining control of the ve- hicle.

(cid:1) The front passenger sit as far back

as possible from the dashboard.

(cid:1) All vehicle occupants be properly restrained using the available seat belts.

This indicator comes on when the igni- tion key is turned to the “ACC” or “ON” position. It goes off after about 6 seconds. This means the SRS front airbags are operating properly. The warning light system monitors the air- bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen- sors, side airbag sensors, front seat belt pretensioner assemblies, warning light, in- terconnecting wiring and power sources. (For details, see “Service reminder indica- tors and warning buzzers” on page 91 in Section 2–4.)

If the severity of the impact is below the above threshold level, the SRS front air- bags may not deploy. However, threshold velocity will be considerably higher if the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact, or if it is involved in an underride collision (e.g. a collision in which the nose of the vehicle “underrides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.). It is possible that in some collisions at the lower zone of airbag sensor detection and activation, the SRS airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not operate all together. For the safety of all occupants, always wear your seat belts properly.
