On some models, the outside rear view
mirror defoggers and/or the windshield
wiper de−icer is also operating simulta-
neously by this switch. Vehicles with the
outside rear view mirror defoggers, the
heater panel in the outside rear view mir-
rors will quickly clear the surfaces. Ve-
hicles with the windshield wiper de −icer,
the windshield wiper blades will be de −
iced.
Push the switch once again to turn the
defoggers off.
The system will automatically shut off af-
ter the defogger has operated about 15
minutes.
CAUTION
Vehicles with outside rear view mirror
defoggers, since the mirror surfaces
can get hot, do not touch them when
the defogger switch is on.
Make sure you turn the defoggers off
when the surfaces are clear or the wiper
blades have de −iced. Leaving the defog-
gers on for a long time could cause the
auxiliary battery to discharge, especially
during stop− and−go driving. The defoggers
are not designed for drying rain water or
for melting snow.
If the outside rear view mirrors are heavi-
ly coated with ice, use a spray de −icer
before operating the switch.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the heater wires or connec-
tors.

In the following case, drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer.
The yellow warning light comes on
while driving.
Any of the following conditions may oc-
cur, but do not indicate the malfunc-
tion:
The red and yellow warning lights may
stay on for about 60 seconds after the
hybrid system is started. It is normal
if it turns off after a while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the red warning light. It is
normal if the light turns off after a few
seconds.
You may hear a small sound in the
engine compartment after the hybrid
system is started or the brake p edal is
depressed repeatedly. This is a pump
pulsating sound of the brake system,
and it is not a malfunction.
You may hear a motor sound in the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed with the hybrid sys-
tem turned off.
The brake pedal stroke may be short
when you turn the key to the “START”
position with the brake pedal de-
pressed.
(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
the reminder light flashes and buzzer
sounds if the driver ’s seat belt is not fas-
tened. Unless the driver fastens the belt,
the light continues flashing and the buzzer
stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Front Passenger ’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
The light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
the reminder light flashes if a passenger
sits in the front passenger seat and does
not fasten the seat belt.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight, the reminder light may flash. (d) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the auxiliary battery
is being discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
The hybrid system will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the auxiliary battery is
discharged. Turn off the air conditioning,
blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.
(e) Traction Battery Warning Light
This light comes on in the following
cases:
a. The traction battery voltage drops be- cause the transmission is left in the
“N” position.
If you put the transmission in the “P”
position and the light goes off, the system
is working properly. b. The traction battery is discharged.
If the traction battery is discharged and
the warning light comes on along with the
“READY” light, stop your vehicle in a safe
place and contact your Toyota dealer.

all the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key.
Approximately five hours after the hybrid
system is turned off, you may hear sound
coming from underneath the luggage
compartment for several minutes. This is
normal operation and does not indicate a
malfunction. (See “Leak detection pump”
on page x.)
It is not a malfunction if the needles on
all meters and gauges move slightly when
the ignition key is turned to the “ACC”,
“ON” or “START” position.

The compass may not show the correct
direction in the following conditions:
The vehicle is stopped immediately af-
ter turning.
The compass does not adjust while the
vehicle is stopped.
The ignition switch is turned off imme-
diately after turning.
The vehicle is on an inclined surface.
The vehicle is in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
The vehicle is magnetized. (There is a
magnet or a metal object on or near
the inside rear view mirror.)
The auxiliary battery has been discon-
nected.
If your vehicle is out of the set zone,
refer to “CALIBRATING THE COMPASS”
below to set the zone number.
If the deviation is small, the compass
works to calibrate the direction automati-
cally while the vehicle is in motion.
For additional precision or for complete
calibrating, see “CALIBRATING THE
COMPASS” below.
The compass sensor is on the inside
rear view mirror.
NOTICE
Do not put magnets or a metal object
on or near the inside rear view mirror
of the vehicle. Doing this may cause
malfunction of the compass sensor.
