WARNING
■The ABS does not operate effec- tively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-mance have been exceeded (such as excessively worn tires on a snow
covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driv-
ing at high speed on wet or slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance. Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you, especially in the following situations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the
road
●When driving over roads with pot-
holes or uneven surfaces
■TRC/VSC may not operate effec-
tively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC system is operating. Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions
where stability and power may be lost.
■Active Cornering Assist does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on Active Corner-
ing Assist. Active Cornering Assist may not operate effectively when accelerating down slopes or driving
on slippery road surfaces.
●When Active Cornering Assist fre- quently operates, Active Cornering Assist may temporarily stop operat-
ing to ensure proper operation of the brakes, TRC and VSC.
■Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
●Do not overly rely on hill-start assist
control. Hill-start assist control may not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
●Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-start assist con-
trol to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to an acci-dent.
■When the TRC/ABS/VSC is acti-vated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular
care when the indicator light flashes.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are
turned off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As these are the systems to help ensure vehicle stability and driv-ing force, do not turn the TRC/VSC
systems off unless necessary.
■Replacing tires
Make sure that all tires are of the specified size, brand, tread pattern and total load capacity. In addition,
make sure that the tires are inflated to the recommended tire inflation pres-sure level.
The ABS, TRC and VSC systems will not function correctly if different tires are installed on the vehicle.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for further information
when replacing tires or wheels.

4-6.Driving tips
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount
can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In
addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cool-
ing) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( P. 3 2 2 )
The Eco-friendly driving is possible
by keeping the indicate of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area.
( P.96, 102)
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift
lever to P when parking. When
using the N, there is no positive
effect on fuel consumption. In the
N, the gasoline engine operates but
electricity cannot be generated.
Also, when using the air condition-
ing system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con-
sumed.
 Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelera-
tion and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric
motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine
power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (traction
battery) power, resulting in poor
fuel consumption. Battery power
can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly
released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Repeated acceleration and decel-
eration, as well as long waits at traf-
fic lights, will lead to bad fuel
economy. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delays as
much as possible. When driving in
