4787-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HIGHLANDER HV_U
■If “Hybrid System Stopped
Steering Power Low” is dis-
played
This message is displayed if the
hybrid system is stopped while driv-
ing.
When steering wheel operations are
heavier than usual, grip the steering
wheel firmly and operate it using
more force than usual.
■If “Hybrid System Overheated
Output Power Reduced” is dis-
played
This message may be displayed
when driving under severe operat-
ing conditions. (For example, when
driving up a long steep hill.)
Handling method: P. 5 0 4
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be
Protected Refrain from the Use
of N Position” is displayed
This message may be displayed
when the shift lever is in N.
As the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) cannot be charged when the
shift lever is in N, shift the shift lever
to P when the vehicle is stopped.
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be
Protected Shift into P to
Restart” is displayed
This message is displayed when the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge has become extremely low
because the shift lever has been left
in N for a certain amount of time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to
P and restart the hybrid system.
■If “Shift to P Before Exiting
Vehicle” or “Shift to P when
Parked” is displayed
This message is displayed when the
driver’s door is opened without turn-
ing the power switch off with the
shift lever in any position other than
P. Change the shift lever to P.
■If “Shift is in N Release Acceler-
ator Before Shifting” is dis-
played
The accelerator pedal has been
depressed when the shift lever is in
N.
Release the accelerator pedal and
shift the shift lever to D, S or R.
■If “Press Brake when Vehicle is
Stopped Hybrid System may
Overheat” is displayed
The message may be displayed
when the accelerator pedal is
depressed to hold the vehicle while
the vehicle is stopped on an incline,
etc. The hybrid system may over-
heat. Release the accelerator pedal
and depress the brake pedal.
■If “Auto Power OFF to Conserve
Battery” is displayed
Power was cut off due to the auto-
matic power off function. Next time
when starting the hybrid system,
operate the hybrid system for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the 12-volt battery.
■If “Headlight System Malfunc-
tion Visit Your Dealer” is dis-
played
The following systems may be mal-
functioning. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
●The LED headlight system (if AFS
[Adaptive Front-lighting System]
equipped)
●AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting Sys-
tem) (if equipped)
●The automatic headlight leveling
system (if equipped)
●Automatic High Beam
■If “Radar Cruise Control
Unavailable” is displayed
The dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range system cannot
be used temporarily. Use the system
when it becomes available again.

This information has been pre-
pared in accordance with regu-
lations issued by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration of the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
It provides the purchasers
and/or prospective purchasers
of Toyota vehicles with informa-
tion on uniform tire quality grad-
ing.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer
any questions you may have as you
read this information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to
these grades. Quality grades
can be found where applicable
on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum
section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the ac
tual conditions
of their use. Performance may differ
significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service
practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and
C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A
(the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to
the generation of heat and its
ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can
cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to
sudden tire failure.
