Your vehicle is equipped with push but-
ton start system. The hybrid system
will start automatically by pressing the
“POWER” switch briefly with the brake
pedal depressed.
With smart function1. Carry the key with you.
2. Press the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.
Without smart function
1. Insert the key.
2. Press the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.
The “READY” light flashes and stays on.
Two beeps sound after a few seconds,
and the hybrid system will start. (If the
ambient temperature is low such as during
winter, it may take time until the “READY”
light comes on.) You cannot start your
vehicle when the brake pedal is not de-
pressed. (For details, see “How to start
the hybrid system—” on page 234.)
The engine may not start even with the
“READY” light on. Drive your vehicle with a smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for more
efficient use, do not accelerate or de-
celerate your vehicle more than neces-
sary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
The remaining capacity of the hybrid
vehicle battery can be confirmed on
the energy monitor screen of the multi
−
information display. See “Information”
on page 150 for details. Gradual or
non− abrupt acceleration or deceleration
will more effectively use the benefits of
an electric motor without having to use
gasoline engine power. When parking, be sure to put the hy-
brid transaxle in “P”. While driving, use
the hybrid transaxle in “D”.
In “N”, the gasoline engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated. The
battery will be discharged requiring un-
necessary engine power to recharge.
The hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid vehicle battery
when the remaining battery power is
reduced. However, the charging is not
available if the hybrid transaxle is “N”.

When the multiinformation display
shows this message, the master warn-
ing light
() comes on in the instru-
ment cluster. Read the message and
follow the instruction.
When you leave your vehicle, or stop
or park for a while, put the hybrid
transaxle in “P”.
Charging is necessary. In “N”, charging
will not be applied. The electric genera-
tor operates in “P”, “D” or “B”. If you
continue driving, put the hybrid trans-
axle in “D” or “B” and depress the
accelerator pedal. Do not leave the hy-
brid transaxle in “N”. When driving in
traffic jam, operate in “D”.
12P009c
Do not allow anyone to lean against the
side of the rear right seatback, nor put
any luggage or other obstructions on it.
An air vent is provided on the side of
the rear right seatback to cool the hy-
brid vehicle battery. If this vent is cov-
ered, the hybrid vehicle battery will
overheat resulting in a reduction of the
output performance of the hybrid sys-
tem.
The seat belt not properly set in the
guide on the top of the rear seat may
block the air vent. Be sure to pass the
seat belt through the guide properly.
Do not wet or put foreign objects over
the air vent. Otherwise, the hybrid ve-
hicle battery may be adversely affected
and be damaged.
You may hear a cooling fan noise from
the air vent.
For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be
sure to consult your Toyota dealer.
If your vehicle is beyond repair because
of accident or something, be sure to
consult your Toyota dealer.
As sealed Nickel −Metal hydride batteries
are used, be sure to consult your Toyota
dealer when disposing of your vehicle.

If you do not drive your vehicle,
store the smart key, keeping it at
least 5 m (16 ft.) away from the ve-
hicle.
ALARMS AND WARNING LIGHT
Your vehicle is equipped with alarms
inside and outside, as well as warning
light in the instrument cluster, that re-
mind you if there is a problem involv-
ing the smart entry and start system.
This warning light will come on when the
“IG
−ON” mode is enabled and will go off
after a few seconds.
If an alarm sounds or the warning light
comes on, be sure to check your ve-
hicle and smart key. (a) The hybrid system was not turned
off and the transaxle was in a posi-
tion other than “P”.
When the driver ’s door is opened with the
hybrid system in “ACC” or “IG −ON” and
with the transaxle in a position other than
“P”.
Inside alarm: Beeps continuously
Multiinformation display: Warning mes-
sage
Alarms will be turned off by any of the
following operations:Closing the driver ’s door
Pressing the “P” position switch
Turning on the hybrid system
Turning off the hybrid system

24p109a
At the first blinking of the light, the master
warning light in the instrument cluster
comes on and the message appears on
the multi−information display to remind the
driver to fill fuel.
On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the low fuel level
indicator light may come on earlier than
usual.
24p004e
This meter displays the odometer and
two trip meters.
1. Odometer—Shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
2. Two trip meters—Show two different distances independently driven since
the last time each trip meter was set
to zero.
You can use one trip meter to calculate
the fuel economy and the other to
measure the distance on each trip. All
trip meter data is cancelled if the elec-
trical power source is disconnected. 3. Trip meter reset button—Resets the
two trip meters to zero, and also
change the meter display.
To change the meter display, quickly
push and release the button. The meter
display changes in the order from the
odometer to trip meter A to trip meter
B, then back to the odometer each
time you push.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, dis-
play the meter A reading, then push
and hold the button until the meter is
set to zero. The same process can be
applied for resetting the trip meter B.
