Operation of each component
■When adjusting the seat
Take care when adjusting the seat so that the head restraint does not touch
the ceiling.
WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position
● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.
■ Seat adjustment
● To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not
recline the seat more than necessary.
If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply
restraint forces directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the
shoulder belt, increasing the risk of death or serious injury in the event of
an accident.
Adjustments should not be made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
● Manual seats: After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in
position.

Failure to do so may prevent the pedals from being depressed properly,
may block the driver’s vision, or may result in items hitting the driver or
passengers, possibly causing an accident.
●Stow cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment whenever possi-
ble.
●Do not stack cargo and luggage in the luggage compartment higher
than the seatbacks.
●When you fold down the rear seats, long items should not be placed

Driving
■Restraining sudden star t (Drive-Start Control)
When the following unusual operation is performed, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
● When the shift position is shifted from R to D, D/B to R, N to R, P to D, P to
R with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning message appears on the
multi-information display. If a warning message is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display, read the message and follow the instructions.
● When the accelerator pedal is depressed too while the vehicle is in reverse.
■ Automatic P position selection function
●If the power switch is on and the shift position is not already P, completely
stopping the vehicle and pressing the power switch causes the shift posi\
tion
to automatically switch to P and the power switch to turn off.
● The shift position may also automatically switch to P if one of the following
conditions is detected while the vehicle is stopped by dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range.
• Driver’s seat belt is not fastened
• Driver’s door is opened
• Approximately 3 minutes elapse after the vehicle stopped
■ If the shift position can not be shifted from P
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt
battery in this situation. ( →P. 708)
■ About engine braking
When shift position B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will apply
engine braking.
●When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gasoline-
fueled vehicles, the engine braking deceleration is felt less than that of other
vehicles.
● The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven continuously in the B position, fuel efficiency will
become low. Usually, select the D position.
■ After recharging/reconnect ing the 12-volt battery

Driving
■Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range can be set when
● The shift position is in D.
● Vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
However, when a preceding vehicle is detected, the dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range can be set even if the vehicle speed is at or
below approximately 30 mph (50 km/h).
■ Accelerating after setting the vehicle speed
The vehicle can accelerate by operating the accelerator pedal. After acceler-
ating, the set speed resumes. However, during vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle speed may decrease below the set speed in order
to maintain the distance to the preceding vehicle.
■ Automatic cancelation of vehicle-t o-vehicle distance control mode
Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled in the fol-
lowing situations.
● Actual vehicle speed falls below approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) when
there are no vehicles ahead.
● The preceding vehicle leaves the lane when your vehicle is following at a
vehicle speed below approximately 25 m ph (40 km/h). Otherwise, the sen-
sor can not properly detect the vehicle.
● VSC is activated.
● TRAC is activated for a period of time.
● When the VSC or TRAC system is turned off by pressing the VSC OFF
switch.
● The sensor cannot detect correctly because it is covered in some way.
● Pre-collision braking is activated.
● The parking brake is operated.
● Intelligent Clearance Sonar is operated. (if equipped)
● The vehicle is stopped by system control on a steep incline.
● The following are detected when the vehicle has been stopped by system
control:
• The driver is not wearing a seat belt.
• The driver’s door is opened.
• The vehicle has been stopped for about 3 minutes.
In this situation, the shift position may automatically switch to P. ( →P. 237)
If vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode is automatically canceled for any
other reason, there may be a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
●Do not place anything on the luggage cover. In the event of sudden brak-
ing or turning, the item may go flying and strike an occupant. This could
lead to an unexpected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not allow children to climb on the luggage cover. Climbing on the lug-
gage cover could result in damage to the luggage cover, possibly causing
death or serious injury to the child.
● Make sure that the rear edge of the cover is laying flat. If the cover is
installed with the rear edge raised, the view from the rear window may be
obstructed, which could cause an accident.
● Make sure that seat belts are not caught up in the luggage cover. If a seat
belt is caught up in the cover, it may not be able to restrain passengers
properly.
● Type B only: Forcefully opening the luggage cover is dangerous. When
removing the luggage cover from the bag and expanding it, be sure to hold
the luggage cover with both hands. Also, confirm that there are no people
nearby before expanding the luggage cover.
● Type B only: Be sure to attach the cord correctly.

7-1. Maintenance and care
■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■ Cleaning the air intake vent
●If the vehicle is driven further after dust has built up and clogged the air
intake vent and filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will overheat,
reducing the driving range of the electric motor and worsening fuel econ-
omy. Periodically clean the air intake vent to keep dust from building up in
the air intake vent and filter.
● Improper handling may result in damage to the air intake vent cover. If you
have any concerns about cleaning the part yourself, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The necessary cleaning interval of the air intake vent will differ according to
the vehicle usage environment.
■ If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-information display
● If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-information display, the air intake vent and fil-
ter may be clogged due to dust build-up. Refer to the cleaning procedure
and clean the air intake vent.
● If the vehicle is driven further while “Maintenance required for Traction bat-
tery cooling parts See owner’s manual” is shown on the multi-information
display, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may overheat, reducing the driv-
ing range, worsening fuel economy and causing damage. Periodically clean
the air intake vent to keep dust from building up in the air intake vent and fil-
ter.
● If the warning message continues to be shown on the multi-information dis-
play even after cleaning the air intake vent, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
