TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
DEFAULT SETTING
CUSTOMIZED SETTING
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
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
and reduced vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Audio Multimedia System screen or the navigation system (if
equipped).
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.

Assist mode will be canceled or stopped in the following cases.
Assist control is canceled when
• The system temperature preservation function operates
• There is a system malfunction
• System determined that the parking environment is not suitable for assist to
continue
When assist control is canceled, firmly grasp the steering wheel, depress the brake
pedal and stop the vehicle.
Start again from the beginning, as the system will already be canceled. When
continuing to park manually, operate the steering wheel as you normally would.
Assist control is stopped when
• The steering wheel is operated
• The vehicle speed exceeds 4 mph (7 km/h) during assist control
• The Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automated Braking** operates
When assist control is stopped, it can be resumed by following the guidance shown
on the screen.
The Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) system requires driver brake control. Always
look around outside the vehicle and use mirrors to confirm clearance.
* Refer to section S-APGS (Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System) in the
Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.
** Refer to section PKSB (Parking Support Brake function) in the Owner’s Manual
for limitations and more details.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
If you are already using DRCC “,” push ON-OFF button to turn the system off
first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds to switch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
(3) Acceleration when there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving
slower than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.
To adjust speed or cancel, see steps (2) and (3) of ADJUSTING SET SPEED on
page 43.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.
