FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in four different modes, or 
turned OFF.
-Doors lock when shifting from Park.
-Doors lock when the vehicle speed goes above approximately 12 mph.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
-Doors unlock when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is set to OFF and driver’s 
door is opened.
Refer to the  Owner’s Manual  for more details. 
(1)  Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2)  Depress the brake pedal, and “
” 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.
Starting the Hybrid System
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 and/or navigation system 
screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
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 energy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

1 The “POWER” switch must be set at “ON” and the brake pedal depressed to shift 
from Park.
2 The engine brake is the equivalent of downshifting. Shift to “B” when engine 
braking is desired (i.e. downhill driving, coasting to a stop, etc.).

30 There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle 
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy. 
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
•
 
Only 
use floor mats designed for your specific model.
•
 
Use 
only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the mat in 
place.
•
 
Install 
floor mats right side up.

Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces driving torque when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
Smart Stop Technology (SST)Star Safety SystemTM
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and 
applying brake force to selected wheels. 
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling. 
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces 
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction 
and vehicle control.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure to each 
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control for the 
current road conditions. 
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup 
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure 
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that 
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
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 quickly 
than just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and 
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven 
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s). 
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip. 
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This 
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
Traction Control (TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help 
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle 
to tilt forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to 
sudden stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of 
all four wheels. All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which 
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock 
Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) 
and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
