1. Transition of fuel consumption in thepast 30 minutes (“Consumption”):
See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255.
2. Best fuel economy (lowest fuel con- sumption) among average (“Best”):
See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255.
3. Average fuel consumption (“Average”): See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255. Toyota hybrid system performs various
controls depending on the operating
condition. The condition appears on the
multi information display and/or naviga-
tion system screen (with navigation
system) when the display and/or screen
is in “Energy Monitor” mode. See
“—Outside temperature and cruise in-
formation” on page 135 in Section 1 6
and “Trip information” on page 255 in
Section 1 10 for the operation of the
display and screen.
These are representative examples of
energy monitor displays. Depending on
the condition, the energy monitor dis-
plays the graphics different from those
shown below. Depending on conditions,
the graphic does not reflect the actual
motion of the vehicle.

systemscreenLevel 0 Your vehicle is equipped with a push
start system. Follow the procedure be-
low to start the hybrid system:
1. Make sure that you are carrying the electronic key.
2. Make sure that the transmission is in the “P” position.
3. Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly with the brake pedal depressed.
The “READY” light starts flashing and then
it stays on with sounding a beep. If the
ambient temperature is low, such as dur-
ing winter driving conditions, it may take
longer than the usual amount of time until
the “READY” light stays on.
The hybrid system cannot be started with-
out the brake pedal depressed.
For details, see “How to start the hybrid
system” on page 301 in Section 3.
The engine may not start even with the
“READY” light on.

Drive your vehicle with smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for effi-
cient use, do not accelerate or deceler-
ate your vehicle more than necessary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
The power of the hybrid battery can be
checked on the multi−information dis-
play or the navigation system screen
(with navigation system). See “—Hybrid
battery status” on page 5 for details.
Gradual or non −abrupt acceleration and
deceleration will make more effectively
use of the traction motor without hav-
ing to use engine power. When parking, be sure to put the trans-
mission into the “P” position. While
driving, put the transmission into the
“D” position.
In the “N” position, the engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated. The
hybrid battery will be discharged requir-
ing unnecessary engine power to re-
charge.
The hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid battery when the
remaining battery power is reduced.
However, the hybrid battery cannot be
recharged if the transmission is in the
“N” position.
For detailed information, see “How to save
fuel and make your vehicle last longer” on
page 311 in Section 3.
INFORMATION
The engine starts and stops automati-
cally. (It stops during a low load driv-
ing, deceleration or when the vehicle
is stopped.)
As long as the “READY” light remains
on, you can start your vehicle using
the traction motor even with the en-
gine stopped.
The engine may not stop automatical-
ly in the following conditions:
During engine warm up
During hybrid battery charging
During low or high hybrid battery
temperature
Efficient use of your hybrid
vehicle

High voltage parts and cables on
the hybrid vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of electro-
magnetic waves as the convention-
al gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite
of their electromagnetic shieldings.
Unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of the mobile two way
radio.
If the vehicle is parked for a long
time, the hybrid battery will dis-
charge gradually. To keep the hy-
brid battery in good condition,
drive the vehicle at least once ev-
ery several months for at least 30
minutes or 10 miles. If the hybrid
battery becomes fully discharged
and the vehicle will not start even
with a jump start to the 12 volt
battery, contact your Toyota dealer-
ship.
CAUTION
The driver should pay special atten-
tion to pedestrians when the vehicle
is powered only by the traction mo-
tor. Because there is no engine
noise, the pedestrians may mis-
judge the vehicle’s movement.
When you leave your vehicle, be
sure to turn off the hybrid system.
Be sure to put the transmission in
the “P” position because the ve-
hicle can move when the “READY”
light is on even if the engine is
stopped. When the “READY” light is
on, do not leave your vehicle in a
shift position other than the “P”
and “N” positions. The vehicle will
creep and start abruptly if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed by
mistake. This may cause death or
serious injury.

If you open the door with the hybrid
system turned on and the transmission
is not in the “P” position, a message
appears on the multi information dis-
play and navigation system screen (for
vehicles with navigation system).
When you leave your vehicle, or stop
or park for a while, put the transmis-
sion in the “P” position.
Charging the hybrid battery while driv-
ing is important. In the “N” position,
the hybrid battery will not be charged.
Do not leave the transmission in the
“N” position. The motor generator oper-
ates in the “P”, “R”, “D” and “B” posi-
tions. When you drive, put the trans-
mission in the “D” or “B” position and
depress the accelerator pedal. When
driving in a traffic jam, operate the
vehicle in the “D” position to prevent
the hybrid battery from being dischar-
ged.
Hybrid battery air vent
An air vent is located behind the rear
seats to cool the hybrid battery. If the
vent is covered, the battery will over-
heat resulting in reduced performance
of the hybrid system.
You may hear a noise from the air vent.For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be
sure to consult your Toyota dealer.
If your vehicle is beyond repair, contact
your Toyota dealer for assistance. Do
not attempt to dispose of your vehicle
by yourself.
CAUTION
Do not wash the vehicle interior or
trunk. Because the hybrid battery is
located behind the rear seat, pour-
ing the water over the battery can
cause electric shock that may result
in death or serious injury.
Your vehicle contains a sealed Nick-
el 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.
NOTICE
Clean the air vent regularly to pre-
vent the hybrid battery from over-
heating.
