For your information

Main Owners Manual

Please note that this manual covers all models and all equipment, including

options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not

installed on your vehicle.

All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.

However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we

reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.

Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ

from your vehicle in terms of equipment.

Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota

A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota

vehicles are currently available on the market. You should know that these

parts are not covered by Toyota warranty and that Toyota is not responsible

for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may

cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products.

Modification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,

safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In

addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification

may not be covered under warranty.

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system

As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle may

affect electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection system/sequen-

tial multi-port fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock brake

system, SRS airbag system or seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to

check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or special instruc-

tions regarding installation.

Despite their electromagnetic shielding high voltage parts and cables on

hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic

waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appli-

ances.

17

Scrapping your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain

explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt

pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be

sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner

removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota

dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Perchlorate Material

Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlo-

rate.

Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo-

nents may include airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-

trol batteries.

18

CAUTION

■ General precautions while driving

Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-

ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-

cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and

reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that will hurt or kill you,

your occupants or others.

Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other

drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.

Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-

tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or

reading can result in a collision causing death or serious injury to you, your

occupants or others.

■ General precaution regarding children’s safety

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to

have or use the key.

Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with

the cigarette lighter, the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addi-

tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be

fatal to children.

19

CAUTION

■ Disposal of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

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 disposed of properly, it

may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
