With the brake pedal depressed
The hybrid system will start and stop
by pressing the “POWER” switch briefly
with the brake pedal depressed.
You may hear a motor sound in the en-
gine compartment when the brake pedal is
depressed with the hybrid system off.
1) “START” (Amber indicator comes on
for a few seconds.)
The hybrid system is ready to operate
and all accessories are operable. (“IG
ON”)
Press the “POWER” switch with the brake
pedal depressed.For starting tips, see “How to start the
hybrid system—” on page 348.
If in an emergency, you must turn the
hybrid system off while the vehicle is
moving, press the “POWER” switch for
more than 3 seconds. At this time, the
“ACC” mode and shift position “N” are
automatically enabled.
2) “OFF” (Indicator is turned off)
The hybrid system is off.
You may hear a motor sound in the en-
gine compartment for a few seconds after
the system is turned off and about 90
seconds have passed.
The hybrid vehicle immobilizer system is
automatically set. See “Hybrid vehicle im-
mobilizer system” on page 21.
Approximately 5 hours after the engine is
turned off, you may hear a sound coming
from underneath the luggage compartment
for several minutes. This is normal opera-
tion and does not indicate a malfunction.
(See “Leak detection pump” on page 448.)
NOTICE
The hybrid system cannot be
started when the shift position is in
“N”. Be sure to put it in “P” and
then start the system.
Do not leave the hybrid system in
“ACC” or “IG ON” for a long time.
The 12 volt battery will discharge.
The hybrid mode in which the bat-
tery is discharged or disconnected
is retained in memory, and that
mode is turned on when power is
applied.
When you leave your vehicle, be sure to
turn the “POWER” switch off and carry the
smart key.
If you get out of your vehicle while carry-
ing a key without turning off the “POWER”
switch and then close the door, a warning
tone sounds inside and beeps sound out-
side.

(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
battery will not be charged even if the
gasoline engine is running. You can-
not start your vehicle if the transaxle
is left in “N” for a long time because
the hybrid battery 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 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 12 volt battery is discon- nected
Before you disconnect the 12 volt battery,
confirm the shift position is “P” and apply
the parking brake completely.
After you reconnect the 12 volt battery,
shift the shift lever to “N” and confirm the
shift position is in “N” when the “IG −ON”
mode is enabled.
