TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the vehicle.
To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force generates
electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the engine shuts off
when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle
emissions and improved performance.
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) (if equipped)
When parking, this available system scans for stationary objects, like walls or
lampposts. Should the system anticipate a collision, it will emit an audible and
visible alert, reduce engine or motor output, and automatically apply the brakes if
needed. And with advanced side-colllision detection, Prius can help you get in and
out of parking spots more easily.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
Rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system displays an image of the view from the bumper of
the rear area of the vehicle. The camera for the rear view monitor system is located
above the license plate.
To adjust the image on the rear view monitor screen, press the “SETUP” button
and select “Display” on the “Setup” screen. Select “Camera” to adjust the screen
contrast and brightness.

OVERVIEW FEATURES & OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
The Pre-Collision System uses a radar sensor and camera sensor to help detect a
vehicle or pedestrian in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance
that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use
PCS instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt
to test the operation of the pre-collision system yourself, as the system may not
operate or engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as
when driving in inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or
while driving on a curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle
may not be detected by the radar and camera sensors, preventing the system from
operating or engaging properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system may not operate properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS w/PD operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it. Pre-Collision Warning
When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a
buzzer will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display (MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.

(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning
