*1: These lights turn on when the power switch is turned to ON mode to indi-
cate  that  a  system  check  is  being  performed.  They  will  turn  off  after  the
hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be a malfunction in

the system initial check is being performed: 
• When  the  BSM  function  or  RCTA  function  is  enabled  and  the  power
switch is turned to ON mode.
• When the power switch is ON mode and the BSM function is enabled.
• When the power switch is ON mode and the RCTA function is enabled.

The  indicators  will  turn  off  after  a  few  seconds.  If  the  indicators  do  not
illuminate or turn off, or if a buzzer does not sound when the RCTA func-
tion  is  enabled,  the  system  may  be  malfunctioning.  Have  the  vehicle

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on 
Should  a  safety  system  light  such  as  the ABS  and  SRS  warning  lights  not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
