Driving
◆When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow-
ing down.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits a t
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic re ports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When drivi ng
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the v ehicle to
move forward slightly while avoid ing overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption.
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before st op-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to releas e the
accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of el ec-
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tempe rature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasolin e engine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will cons ume fuel.
Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of t he
heater.
◆Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Impr oper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to poor fuel economy. Use tires that are app ro-
priate for the season.

Maintenance and care
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure warning system that uses
tire pressure warning valve and t ransmitters to detect low tire inflation
pressure before serious problems arise.
Vehicles without a tire inflat ion pressure display function
If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the dri ver is
warned by a screen display and a warning light. ( P. 4 7 9 )
Vehicles with a tire inflati on pressure display function
● The tire pressure detected by th e tire pressure warning system can
be displayed on the mul ti-information display.
● If the tire pressure drops below a predetermined level, the dri ver is
warned by a screen display and a warning light. ( P. 4 7 9 )

◆Installing tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When replacing the tires or wheels, the tire pressure warning v alve
and transmitters must be install ed to the wheels which will be
installed to the vehicle.
When new tire pressure warning valve and transmitters are
installed, new ID codes must be registered in the tire pressure
warning computer and the tire pressure warning system must be
initialized. ( P. 428)
◆Initializing the tire pressure warning system
■The tire pressure warning system must be initialized in the fol-
lowing circumstances:
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when chang-
ing traveling speed or load weight.
● When the tire inflation pressure is changed such as when the ti re
size is changed.
● When rotating the tires.
● Vehicles with a tire inflation pr essure display function: After per-
forming the transmitter ID code registration procedure. ( P. 4 2 8 )
When the tire pressure warning sy stem is initialized, the current tire
inflation pressure is set as the benchmark pressure.
■How to initialize the tire pressure warning system
Park the vehicle in a safe place and stop the hybrid system for 20
minutes or more.
The initialization procedure cannot be started while the vehicle is
moving.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure to the specified cold tire i nflation
pressure level. ( P. 528)
Make sure to adjust the tire pre ssure to the specified cold tire infla-
tion pressure level. The tire pressure warning system will oper ate
based on this pr essure level.
Start the hybrid system. ( P. 2 1 0 )
Select (4.2-inch display) or (7-inch display) on the multi-
information display using the meter control switches on the ste er-
ing wheel. ( P. 111, 125).

inflation pressure of each tire
while initialization is being per-
formed.
Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function: Drive at
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or more for approximately 10 to
30 minutes.
When initialization is complete, the inflation pressure of each tire will
be displayed on the multi-information display.
Even if the vehicle is not driven at approximately 25 mph (40 k m/h)
or more, initialization can be completed by driving for a long time.
However, if initialization does not complete after driving for 1 hour or
more, park the vehicle in a safe place for approximately 20 min utes
and then drive the vehicle again.

◆Registering ID codes
Vehicles without a tire inflation pressure display function
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID
code. In addition to the set of tire pressure warning system se nsor
ID codes initially registered to the vehicle, a second set of ID codes
can be registered.
A second set of tire pressure warning system sensor ID codes ca n
be registered at your Toyota dealer. When 2 sets of ID codes ha ve
been registered, either ID code set can be selected.
Vehicles with a tire inflation pressure display function
Every tire pressure warning valve and transmitter has a unique ID
code. When replacing a tire pressure warning valve and transmit ter,
it is necessary to reg ister the ID codes.
The ID codes can be registered on (4.2-inch display) or (7-
inch display) of the multi-information display.
■Changing the available set of ID codes (vehicles without a tire
inflation pressure display function)
When 2 sets of ID codes are reg istered, the corresponding ID code
set for the installed wheels can be selected on (4.2-inch disp lay)
or (7-inch display) of the multi-information display. It is no t nec-
essary to reregister the ID codes each time the wheels are
changed.
For information regarding changing the registered ID codes for an
ID code set, contact your Toyota dealer.
■How to register the ID codes (vehicles with a tire inflation pr es-
sure display function)
Park the vehicle in a safe place, wait for approximately 20 min -
utes, and then start t he hybrid system. (P. 210)
Select (4.2-inch display) or (7-inch display) on the multi-
information display using the meter control switches on the ste er-
ing wheel. ( P. 111, 125)

■When to replace your vehicle’s tires
Tires should be replaced if:
●The treadwear indicators are showing on a tire.
●You have tire damage such as cuts, splits, cracks deep enough t o
expose the fabric, and bulges indicating internal damage
●A tire goes flat repeatedly or c annot be properly repaired due to the size
or location of a cut or other damage
If you are not sure, consult with your Toyota dealer.
■Replacing tires and wheels
If the ID codes of the tire pressure warning valve and transmit ters are not
registered, the tire pressure warning system will not work properly. In this
case, after driving for about 20 minutes, the tire pressure warning light will
blink for approximately 1 minute and then illuminate to indicat e a system
malfunction.
■Tire life
Any tire over 6 years old must be checked by a qualified techni cian even
if it has seldom or never been u sed or damage is not obvious.
■Routine tire inflation pressure checks
The tire pressure warning system does not replace routine tire inflation
pressure checks. Make sure to chec k tire inflation pressure as part of
your routine of daily vehicle checks.
■Low profile tires (vehicl es with 18-inch wheels)
Generally, low profile tires will wear more rapidly and tire gr ip perfor-
mance will be reduced on snowy and /or icy roads when compared to
standard tires. Be sure to use snow tires on snowy and/or icy r oads and
drive carefully at a speed approp riate for road and weather conditions.
■Maximum load of tire
Check that the maximum load of t he replacement tire is greater than 1/2
of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR) of either the front axl e or the
rear axle, whichever is greater.
For the GAWR, see the Certification
Label. For the maximum load of the tire,
see the load limit at maximum cold tire
inflation pressure mentioned on the
sidewall of the tire. ( P. 5 3 4 )
