Emissions inspection and maintenance
(I/M) programs
Your vehicle may not pass a state emis-
sion inspection if the malfunction indicator
lamp remains on. Contact your Toyota
dealer to check your vehicle’s emission
control system and OBD (On−Board Diag-
nostics) system before taking your vehicle
for the inspection.
For details, see “Emissions inspection and
maintenance (I/M) programs” on page 276.
(e) Master Warning Light
()
If the master warning light comes on, the
warning light for the faulty system is high-
lighted or the message such as “Please
press “P” to engage Park.” and “The bat-
teries will not be charged if the transaxle
is in Neutral N.” appears on the multi −in-
formation display. (See “Service reminder
indicators and warning buzzers— —Multi −
information display” on page 124 or “Pre-
cautions for use” on page 14 or “Fuel
gauge” on page 114 for instructions.) (f) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the “IG
−ON”
mode is enabled. If the anti −lock brake
system and the brake assist system work
properly, the light turns off after the
“READY” light comes on. Thereafter if the
system malfunctions, the light comes on
again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate,
but the brake system still operates con-
ventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate
but the brake assist system still operates.
In this case, the wheels could lock up
during a sudden braking or braking on
slippery road surfaces.
If either of the following conditions
occurs, this indicates a malfunction
somewhere in the parts monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible so
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
“IG −ON” mode is enabled, or the light
remains on after the “READY” light
comes on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the red brake system
warning light, immediately stop your
vehicle at a safe place and contact
your Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
Either of the following conditions may
occur, but does not indicate the mal-
function:
The light may stay on for about 60
seconds after the hybrid system is
started. It is normal if it turns off after
a whi l e.

how to remedy the system, see the de-
scription on the following pages.

(d) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, shift the shift lever
to “B” position.
During high speed driving, you may feel
that deceleration by engine braking is less
than that of a typical vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the
transaxle in “B” for a long time. This may
cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent
this, use “D” for normal driving.
When you shift the transaxle to “B” from
a position other than “D”, an alarm sounds
and the transaxle is automatically shifted
to “N”.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
(e) Backing up1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the shift lever to the
“R” position. You will hear beeps while
the transaxle is in “R”.
When you shift the transaxle to “R” while
driving, an alarm sounds and the transaxle
is shifted to “N”.
(f) Parking 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, push the “P” position switch.
If you press the “POWER” switch while
stopping, the transaxle is automatically
shifted to the “P” and the hybrid system
is turned off. If the driver ’s door is opened when the
transaxle is in “N”, “D” or “B”, beep
sounds and a warning message appears
on the multi
−information display to warn
you to shift the transaxle to “P”.
If you push the “P” position switch while
driving, an alarm sounds and the transaxle
is automatically shifted to “N”.NOTICE
Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle in
“P” when parking. In “N”, the hybrid
vehicle battery will not be charged
even if the gasoline engine is run-
ning. You cannot start your vehicle if
the transaxle is left in “N” for a long
time because the hybrid vehicle bat-
tery will discharge.
When shifting the transaxle from “P” on
the slope, a large parking lock releasing
noise will be generated. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.

(g) Vehicle driving characteristics
Creeping
In order to hold the vehicle properly on an
incline and for better accelerator pedal
operation at starting, your vehicle is de-
signed like a typical automatic transmis-
sion vehicle which tends to move without
depressing the accelerator pedal with the
transaxle in a position other than “P” or
“N”.
With the transaxle in a position other than
“P” or “N”, depress the brake pedal firmly
even when stopped and apply the parking
brake as required.
When moving in a compact area or during
a traffic jam, it is an effective way to
control the speed using only the brake
pedal operation without depressing the ac-
celerator pedal.
Regenerative brake
When the accelerator pedal is released or
the brake pedal is depressed, the electric
motor acts as a generator and converts
kinetic energy to electric energy to provide
deceleration and recover electric energy to
charge the hybrid vehicle battery.
At this time, the electric motor running
noise may increase.The operation is the same as a typical
gasoline powered vehicle.
You may experience the following condi-
tion while braking. As they do not indicate
a malfunction, perform braking as usual:
In the “OFF” mode, pressing the
“POWER” switch once or twice will se-
lect “ACC” or “IG
−ON” only if the brake
pedal is not depressed. In this condi-
tion, the brake pedal may move a little.
Hybrid driving
This vehicle runs in combination with the
gasoline engine and electric motor.
If the “READY” light is on, you can start
your vehicle even with the gasoline engine
stopped. (h) If the system malfunctions
In the following conditions, there is some
problem in the system.
The indicator on the “P” position switch
flashes. However, this does not indi-
cate a malfunction unless a warning
message appears in the multi
−informa-
tion display.
All frames of shift position indicators in
the instrument cluster flash.
The parking system error message ap-
pears on the multi −information display.
The instrument cluster and multi −infor-
mation display does not come on when
the “IG −ON” mode is enabled.
In these cases, stop your vehicle in a
safe and level place, apply the parking
brake securely and contact your Toyota
dealer immediately.
(i) When the auxiliary battery is dis- connected
Before you disconnect the aux iliary bat-
tery, confirm the shift position is “P” and
apply the parking brake completely.
After you reconnect the auxiliary battery,
shift the shift lever to “N” and confirm the
shift position is in “N” when the “IG −ON”
mode is enabled.

The electric power steering system, us-
ing an electric motor, assists the turn-
ing of the steering wheel.
In the following cases, you may feel the
steering becomes heavy. However, the
electric power steering system warning
light does not come on. (Because it is
not a malfunction.)
When maneuvering the steering fre-
quently or keeping the steering wheel
turned fully while the vehicle is stopped
or moving very slowlyThe power steering effect will be re-
duced to prevent the system from over-
heating. Avoid turning the steering
wheel, or stop the vehicle. When you
leave the vehicle in the “IG −ON” mode
for a while, the system will become
cool.
NOTICE
If you repeat the operation which will
turn on the overheating prevention
function, the electric power steering
system may be damaged.
When the auxiliary battery is dis-
charged
Check the auxiliary battery’s condition.
If necessary, recharge or replace the
battery. For details, see “Checking aux-
iliary battery condition” on page 300.
When the steering wheel is operated
with the hybrid system not to be turned
on (with the “READY” light off)
The auxiliary battery capacity is de-
creased temporarily. The system re-
turns to normal some time after the
hybrid system is turned on.
If there is a problem somewhere in the
electric power steering system, the warn-
ing light comes on in the multi −information
display. For details, see “Multi −information
display” on page 124.30p003
The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary.
