These high voltage parts or cables
consisting of an electromagnetic
shielding structure produce relatively
the same amount of electromagnetic
waves as conventional gasoline
fueled vehicles or home electric ap-
pliances.
As unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of mobile radios, contact
your Toyota dealer for installation or
removal.
Always keep your hybrid vehicle’s driv-
ing characteristics in mind.
CAUTION
The driver should pay full attention
around the vehicle especially when it
is driven only by the electric motor
(with the gasoline engine stopped).
People in the immediate area might
misjudge the hybrid vehicle move-
ment based on the absence of the
regular engine noise.
When the hybrid system is started or
stopped, you may hear a sound coming
from the hybrid vehicle battery in the
luggage compartment. However, this
does not indicate any trouble.
As the vehicle runs with both the gaso-
line engine and electric motor, you may
hear a motor sound coming from the
engine compartment.
If the “READY” light is on, you can
start even though the gasoline engine
may be off.
When you shift the shift lever to “B”
and release it to its original position
and your foot from the accelerator ped-
al, engine braking will be applied. How-
ever, during high speed driving you
may feel that deceleration by engine
braking is less than that of ordinary
vehicle.
Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle in
“P” when parking.
In “N”, the hybrid vehicle battery assembly
is not charged, even if the gasoline en-
gine is operating. You cannot run your
vehicle if the hybrid transaxle is left in “N”
for a long time because the hybrid vehicle
battery assembly will be discharged. When you leave your vehicle, apply the
parking brake to put the hybrid trans-
axle in “P” and be sure to carry the
key with you and lock all the doors.
If you leave the hybrid system in “ACC”
or “IG
−ON”, the hybrid system may not
start because the auxiliary battery will be
discharged.
CAUTION
When you leave your vehicle, be
sure to shut off the hybrid system.
Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle
in “P” because the vehicle can start
with the “READY” light on and the
engine stopped (no engine sound
and vibration). When the “READY”
light is on, if you leave your ve-
hicle in shift position other than
“P” and “N”, the vehicle will creep
and start abruptly with the accelera-
tor pedal being depressed by mis-
take. This may cause death or seri-
ous injury.

The SRS front airbag system consists
mainly of the following components and
their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Airbag module for front passenger (air- bag and inflator)
4. Driver ’s seat belt buckle switch
5. Driver ’s seat position sensor
6. Airbag sensor assembly
7. Airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator) The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.
The front airbag sensors constantly moni-
tor the forward deceleration of the vehicle.
If an impact results in a forward decelera-
tion beyond the designed threshold level,
the system triggers the airbag inflators. At
this time a chemical reaction in the inflat-
ors very quickly fills the airbags with non
−
toxic gas to help restrain the froward mo-
tion of the occupants. The front airbags
then quickly deflate, so that there is no
obstruction of the driver’s vision should it
be necessary to continue driving.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a
loud noise and release some smoke and
residue along with non −toxic gas. This
does not indicate a fire. This smoke may
remain inside the vehicle for some time,
and may cause some minor irritation to
the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to
wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irritation with
soap and water. If you can safely exit
from the vehicle, you should do so imme-
diately. Deployment of the airbags happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is desi
gned to reduce serious inju-
ries, primarily to the head and chest, it
may also cause other, less severe injuries
to the face, chest, arms and hands. These
are usually in the nature of minor burns
or abrasions and swelling, but the force of
a deploying airbag can cause more seri-
ous injuries, especially if an occupant’s
hands, arms, chest or head is in close
proximity to the airbag module at the time
of deployment. This is why it is important
for the occupant to: avoid placing any
object or part of the body between the
occupant and the airbag module; sit
straight and well back into the seat; wear
the available seat belt properly; and sit as
far as possible from the airbag module,
while still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel
hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot
for several minutes after deployment, so
do not touch! The airbags inflate only
once. The windshield may be damaged by
absorbing some of the force of the inflat-
ing airbag.

(a) Brake System Warning Lights andBuzzer
These lights come on in the following
cases when the “IG −ON” mode is enabled.
RED WARNING LIGHT
When the parking brake is applied...
This light comes on when the “IG −ON”
mode is enabled, even after the parking
brake is released.
When the brake fluid level is low...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level is
low.
YELLOW WARNING LIGHT
When the regenerative brake system
is fails...
RED OR YELLOW WARNING LIGHT
When the hydraulic brake system
fails...
When the yellow warning light comes on,
it is no problem to continue driving. How-
ever, if the red warning light comes on,
it indicates a serious problem and you can
continue driving no longer. Have your vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer in the following cases:
The lights do not come on even if the
parking brake is applied when the
“READY” light is on.
The lights do not come on even if the
“POWER” switch is pressed with the
parking brake released.
A red warning light turning on briefly dur-
ing operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If any of the following conditions oc-
curs, immediately stop your vehicle at
a safe place and contact your Toyota
dealer.
The red warning light does not turn
off even after the parking brake is
released while the hybrid system is
running.
The red warning light comes on or
buzzer sounds continuously.
In either case, this can indicate that
the brakes may not work properly and
your stopping distance will become
longer. Depress the brake pedal firmly
and bring the vehicle to an immediate
stop.
The brake system warning light re-
mains on together with the “ABS”
and “VSC” warning light.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system and vehicle stability
control system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
In the following case, drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer.
The yellow warning light comes on
while driving.

121
Emissions inspection and maintenance
(I/M) programs
Your vehicle may not pass a state emis-
sion inspection if the malfunction indicator
lamp remains on. Contact your Toyota
dealer to check your vehicle’s emission
control system and OBD (On−Board Diag-
nostics) system before taking your vehicle
for the inspection.
For details, see “Emissions inspection and
maintenance (I/M) programs” on page 272.
(e) Master Warning Light
()
If the master warning light comes on, the
warning light for the faulty system is high-
lighted or the message such as “Please
press “P” to engage Park.” and “The bat-
teries will not be charged if the transaxle
is in Neutral N.” appears on the multi −in-
formation display. (See “Service reminder
indicators and warning buzzers— —Multi −
information display” on page 124 or “Pre-
cautions for use” on page 12 or “Fuel
gauge” on page 114 for instructions.) (f) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the “IG
−ON”
mode is enabled. If the anti −lock brake
system and the brake assist system work
properly, the light turns off after the
“READY” light comes on. Thereafter if the
system malfunctions, the light comes on
again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate
but the brake assist system still operates.
In this case, the wheels could lock up
during a sudden braking or braking on
slippery road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
somewhere in the parts monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible so
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
“IG −ON” mode is enabled, or the light
remains on after the “READY” light
comes on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the red brake system
warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact
your Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
Either of the following conditions may
occur, but does not indicate the mal-
function:
The light may stay on for about 60
seconds after the hybrid system is
started. It is normal if it turns off after
a whi l e.

123
Hold down the button for at least 5 sec-
onds. The odometer indicates “000000”
and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will
remain flashing.
(k) “VSC” warning light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle stability control
system.
The light will come on when the “IG−ON”
mode is enabled and will go off after the
“READY” light comes on.
If the light comes on while driving, the
system does not work. However, as con-
ventional braking operates when applied,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The warning light does not come on
after the “IG −ON” mode is enabled.
The warning light remains on after the
“READY” light comes on.
The warning light comes on while you
are driving.
CAUTION
If the “VSC” warning light remains on
together with the red brake system
warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact
your Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the vehicle sta-
bility control system will fail but also
the vehicle will become extremely un-
stable during braking.
(l) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer reminds you to remove the
key if you open the driver’s door when the
hybrid system is off and the key is in-
serted into the key slot.
(m) Shift Position Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer will sound if the driver ’s door
is opened while the hybrid transaxle is in
“N”, “D” or “B”. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER INDICA-
TORS (except the low fuel level indica-
tor light)
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Open one of the doors. The open door warning light should
come on.
3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go
off.
4. Press the “POWER” switch twice with- out pressing the brake pedal to select
the “IG −ON” mode. At this time, all the
bulbs are checked in self −diagnosis
mode.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the open door warning light come
on. The yellow brake system, “ABS”
and “VSC” warning lights go off after
a few seconds.
There may be the case that the yellow
brake system, “ABS” and “VSC” warning
lights stay on for about 60 seconds after
the “IG −ON” mode is enabled. It is normal
if they go out after a while.
If any service reminder indicator or warn-
ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

210
CAUTION
Do not pump the brake pedal if the
hybrid system is not operating.
Each push on the pedal uses up
your reserved brake fluid pressure.
Even if the power assist is com-
pletely lost, the brakes will still
work. But you will have to push the
pedal hard, much harder than nor-
mal. And your braking distance will
increase.
ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The antilock brake system is designed
to automatically help prevent lockup of
the wheels during a sudden braking or
braking on slippery road surfaces. This
assists in providing directional stability
and steering performance of the vehicle
under these circumstances.
Effective way to press the ABS brake
pedal: When the anti −lock brake system
function is in action, the slip indicator in
the instrument cluster flashes and you
will hear a noise. In this situation, to let
the anti −lock brake system work for you,
just hold the brake pedal down more
firmly. Do not pump the brake in a panic
stop. This will result in reduced braking
performance.
The anti −lock brake system becomes op-
erative after the vehicle has accelerated
to a speed in excess of approximately 10
km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). Depressing the brake pedal on slippery
road surfaces such as on a manhole cov-
er, a steel plate at a construction site,
joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day
tends to activate the anti
−lock brake sys-
tem.
When the antilock brake system is ac-
tivated, the following condition may oc-
cur. They do not indicate a malfunction
of the system:
You may hear the anti −lock brake sys-
tem operating and the vibrations of the
vehicle body and steering wheel. You
may also hear the motor sound in the
engine compartment even after the ve-
hicle is stopped.

212
“ABS” warning light
The light comes on when the “IGON”
mode is enabled. If the antilock brake
system works properly, the light turns
off after the “READY” light comes on.
Thereafter, if the system malfunctions,
the light comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti−lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the components monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
“IG −ON” mode is enabled, or the
“READY” light remains on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing. A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the red brake system
warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact
your Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
Either of the following conditions may
occur, but does not indicate a malfunc-
tion:
The light may stay on for about 60
seconds after the “IG
−ON” mode is en-
abled. It is normal if it turns off after
a whi l e.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the light. It is normal if
it turns off after a few seconds. BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM
When you slam the brakes on, the
brake assist system judges as an emer-
gency stop and provides more powerful
braking for a driver who cannot hold
down the brake pedal firmly.
When you slam the brakes on, more pow-
erful braking will be applied. At this time,
you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
The brake assist system becomes opera-
tive after the vehicle has accelerated to
a speed in excess of approximately 10
km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
For an explanation of this system’s warn-
ing light, see “Service reminder indicators
and warning buzzers” on page 117.

286
If any of the above parts are extremely
dirty or you are not sure of their condi-
tion, take your vehicle to a Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, be care-
ful not to touch the radiator or con-
denser when the engine is hot.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the radiator
and condenser, do not perform the
work by yourself.
Checking brake fluid
82p002b
To check the fluid level, simply look at
the seethrough reservoir. The level
should be between the “MAX” and
“MIN” lines on the reservoir.
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go
down slightly as the brake pads wear or
when the fluid level in the accumulator is
high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refueling,
it may indicate a serious mechanical prob-
lem.
If the level is low, add SAE J1703 or
FMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 brake fluid to
the brake reservoir.Refilling brake fluid:
1. Turn the hybrid system off.
2. Depress the brake pedal more than 40 times.
3. Remove the reservoir cap by hand. Add brake fluid up to the “MAX” line.
If you do not follow the procedure above,
the reservoir may overflow.
Use only newly opened brake fluid. Once
opened, brake fluid absorbs moisture from
the air, and excess moisture can cause a
dangerous loss of braking.CAUTION
Take care when filling the r eservoir
because brake fluid can harm your
eyes and damage painted surfaces. If
fluid gets in your eyes, flush your
eyes with clean water immediately. If
you still feel uncomfortable with your
eyes, go to the doctor.
NOTICE
If you spill the fluid, be sure to wipe
it off to prevent it from damaging the
parts or painting.
