Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System

When driving with the gasoline engine stopped, a sound, which changes in accordance with the driving speed, will be played in order to warn people nearby of the vehicle’s approach. The sound will stop when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 22 mph (35 km/h).

  • Regenerative braking
    In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery).

    • The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
    • The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
  • EV indicator
    The EV indicator comes on when the vehicle is driven using only the electric motor (traction motor) or the gasoline the engine is stopped.
  • Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
    The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop automatically in the following conditions:

    • During gasoline engine warm-up
    • During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
    • When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
    • When the heater is switched on
  • Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
    As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 km). If the hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start the hybrid system, contact your Toyota dealer.
  • Charging the 12-volt battery
  • After the 12-volt battery has discharged or when the terminal has been removed and installed during the exchange, etc.
    The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by a hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact your Toyota dealer.

Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move with the “READY” indicator is illuminated. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift the shift lever to P when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are not a malfunction:

    • Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
    • Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) under the rear seats when the hybrid system starts or stops.
    • Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the hybrid battery (traction battery), under the rear seats, when the hybrid system is started or stopped.
    • Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid is open.
    • Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine starts or stops when driving at low speeds, or during idling.
    • Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
    • Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
    • Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.
    • Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent. (P. 80)
  • Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
    In the following cases, the acoustic vehicle alerting system may be difficult for surrounding people to hear.

    • In very noisy areas
    • In the wind or the rain
  • Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
    Contact your Toyota dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
  • Customization
    Some functions can be customized.

Hybrid system precautions

Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high-voltage system (about 650 V at maximum) as well as contains parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

Hybrid battery (traction battery) air intake vent
There is an air intake vent under the right side of the rear seat for the purpose of cooling the hybrid battery (traction battery). If the vent becomes blocked, charging/discharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may become limited.

Emergency shut off system
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the emergency shut off system blocks 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. 465)

  • If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 12-volt battery is disconnected
    The hybrid system may not start. In this 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. 458) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about 2.3 gal. [8.8 L, 1.9 Imp. gal.] when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)
  • Electromagnetic waves
    • High voltage parts and cables on hybrid vehicles incorporate electromagnetic 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.
  • Starting the hybrid system in an extremely cold environment
    When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is extremely cold (below approximately -22°F [-30°C]) under the influence of the outside temperature, it may not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the hybrid system again after the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) increases due to the outside temperature increase etc.
