FEATURES/OPERATIONS
(1) Put the selector lever in âP.â
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and press the âPOWERâ switch briefly and firmly
(3) The âREADYâ light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains
steady and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.
Starting your vehicle
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition,
the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel
economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and/or display audio
system/navigation system screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Ownerâs Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has two functions:
⢠The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in making the decision when
changing lanes)
⢠The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up)
The system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in certain areas
that are not reflected in the outside rearview mirror (the blind spot), and advises
the driver of the vehiclesâ presence via the outside rearview mirror indicator.
Refer to the Ownerâs Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect
vehicles and pedestrians in front of your vehicle. If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal collision with a vehicle or pedestrian is high, the system
warns the driver to take evasive action while the potential brake pressure is
increased to help the driver avoid collision or reduce the impact to the vehicle and
itâs occupants.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On. The
system can be disabled/enabled and the warning timing of the system can be
changed.
Pre-collision warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high,
a buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the
system applies greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pre-collision braking
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, the
system warns the driver. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision
is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the collision
or reduce the collision speed.
Changing the pre-collision warning timing
Each time the PCS switch is pressed,
the response to the warning distance
changes as follows:
Far
Middle
Near

Disabling the Pre-Collision System (PCS)
To disable the system
Press the PCS switch for 3 seconds or more.
The PCS warning light will turn on and a message will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display (MID).
To enable the system
Press the PCS switch again.
The system is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter wave radar
As part of PCS, this function is also designed to first provide an alert and then
automatic braking if needed.
Pedestrian Detection Function
The Pre-Collision System also features a pedestrian detection function. Using
a millimeter wave radar and monocular camera sensor, this advanced sensor
system can recognize pedestrians in some circumstances. It may provide detection
capability while driving at low as well as higher speeds.
