■If a warning light comes on, a wa rning message is displayed, or the
12-volt battery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started,
refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel le\
vel
warning light ( P. 657) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about
2.0 gal. [7.5 L, 1.7 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.)
■ Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on hybrid vehicles incorporate electromag-
netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec-
tromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances.
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving
style and driving conditions.
■ Starting the hybrid system in an extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is extremely cold (below approxi-
mately -22°F [-30°C]) under the influence of the outside temperature, it may
not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the hybrid
system again after the temperature of the hybrid battery increases due to the
outside temperature increase etc.

Some information will be displayed automatically according to power
switch operation, vehicle condition, etc.
■When starting the hybrid system
When the hybrid system starts,
an opening animation is dis-
played on the 2 displays.
After the animation ends, the
screens switch to the normal
screen.
The opening animation will be
stopped in any of the following
situations. • When the shift position is changed to other than P
• When the Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System (if equipped)
is turned on
■
After refueling
When the power switch is
turned to ON mode after refuel-
ing, the gasoline price setting
screen* is displayed on the
multi-information display.
After refueling, always set the
gasoline price so that the “Eco
Savings” function ( P. 128) may
operate properly.
Settings related to the “Eco Savings” function can be changed in the
“Meter Customize” settings. ( P. 142)
*: If the amount of fuel that the vehicle is refueled with is too small, this
screen may not be displayed. ( P. 113)
■
When the driving assist systems are operating
When using driving assist systems such as the dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
* (  P. 300) and LDA system*
( P. 289), information related to each system is automatically dis-
played on the multi-information display depending on the situation.
For details regarding the displayed information and the contents of the
display, refer to the explanation page of each system.

◆Energy monitor
The energy monitor can be used to check the vehicle drive status,
hybrid system operation status and energy regeneration status.
When energy is flowing, an arrow appears and a bright point of light
moves to show the direction of the flow of energy. When energy is
not flowing, the bright point of light are not displayed.

As an example, all arrows are shown in the illustration, but the actual con-
tents of the display will differ.
(Display example)
●When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged, the
bright point of light moves towards .
● During driving, the bright point of light moves from or (or
both depending on the situation) towards .

■Hybrid battery (traction battery) status
●The display changes in 8 levels according to the remaining charge amount
of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● The hybrid battery (traction battery) status is also displayed on the following
screen, but the contents of the display are the same.
• Sub-screen of the main display ( P. 112)
• Hybrid System Indicator (P. 119)
• Head-up display (if equipped) ( P. 146)
● The charge amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is automatically
controlled by the hybrid system. For this reason, even if electricity is recov-
ered via the regenerative braking, or electricity is generated via the gasoline
engine, the displayed hybrid battery (traction battery) charge amount may
not reach the highest level (level 8). However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
■ Remaining charge amount warning of hybrid battery (traction battery)
●While driving, when the remaining charge amount of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) drops below a fixed amount, the buzzer sounds intermittently. If
the remaining charge amount drops further, the buzzer sounds continuously.
● When a warning message is shown on the multi-information display and the
buzzer sounds, follow the instructions displayed on the screen to perform
troubleshooting. Low

WARNING
■Cautions while setting up the display
As the hybrid system needs to be operating during setting up the display,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or
a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■While setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is oper-
ating while setting up the display features.
