Hybrid System, there may be
a malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the
vehicle. When the brakes are applied, the braking force generates electr\
icity, which
is then sent to the traction battery to conserve energy. In addition, th\
e engine shuts
off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy an\
d reduced
vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and/or Audio Multimedia System
screen.
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner\
’s 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 en\
ergy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and messages will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display.
(3) Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
(4) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light \
remains steady
and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS)
The tire pressure warning system can be selected on “” of the Multi-
information display (MID).
System reset initialization
(1) Press “” switches and select “” from the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(2) Press “
” or “” switches and select the “,” then push and hold “.”
(3) Press “
” or “” switches and select “TPWS” and then push and hold “.”
(4) Press “Set Pressure” then press and hold “
” until the warning light blinks
three times.
The tire pressure detected by the tire pressure warning system can be di\
splayed on the Multi-information display (MID).
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for ti\
re inflation
specifications.

If the tire pressure indicator flashes for 1 minute and then remains on,\
take the
vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE:
The warning light may come on

due to temperature changes or
changes in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been
initialized recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should
turn off the light.

Star Safety System™
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\
ontrol.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\
’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than
just the driver alone can.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. EBD responds to sudden stops \
by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all f\
our wheels.
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which combines Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accele\
rator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\
pplied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\
per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\
ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
rolling
backward.

ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the A\
BS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of tracti\
on occurs
during a turn.
