WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer imme-
diately if this occurs.
NOTICE

The engine may be overheating if the high coolant temperature warning
light comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 645)

“ECO Accelerator Guidance”
A blue zone is displayed in the
Eco area which can be used as
a reference operation range for
using the accelerator pedal
according to driving conditions
such as starting off and cruis-
ing.
The “ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance” display changes accord-
ing to the driving status, such as
when starting off or cruising.
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly manner by driving according to the
display showing the accelerator pedal operations and staying within the
“ECO Accelerator Guidance” range. (P. 222)

Eco score
The driving status for the following 3 situations are evaluated in 5
levels: Smooth start-off acceleration (“Eco-Start”), driving without
sudden acceleration (“Eco-Cruise”) and smooth stopping (“Eco-
Stop”). Each time the vehicle is stopped, a score result is displayed
out of a perfect score of 100 points.

“Eco-Start” status
“Eco-Cruise” status
“Eco-Stop” status
How to read the bar display:
*: For items not currently evaluated, the display reads 0.
●The Eco score is reset each time the vehicle starts off to start a new
evaluation.
●When the shift position is P, only the Eco score display area is
enlarged and displayed. When the shift position is shifted from P,
the display returns to normal.
●When the hybrid system stops, the current total score result and

■When operation of each function stops
●The Hybrid System Indicator stops operating in the following situations.
• The “READY” indicator is not illuminated.
• The shift position is not D or B.
●The Eco score and “ECO Accelerator Guidance” stop operating in the fol-
lowing situations.

■About the Eco score
●After starting off, Eco score display does not start until the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
●In addition to the vehicle driving status, the Eco score also evaluates the air
conditioning system usage condition (P. 150). The score displayed when
the hybrid system stops is the total result of the driving status after the
hybrid system starts and the air conditioning usage condition.

■Enabling/disabling of the head-up display
When the head-up display is turned off with the “HUD” switch, it is not dis-
played until the “HUD” switch is used to turn the head-up display on again.
(Operation of the head-up display is not linked with the power switch.)
■ Display brightness
● The brightness of the head-up display is automatically adjusted according to
the operation status of the headlights (on/off) and the brightness of the sur-
roundings.
● When the brightness of the head-up display is adjusted to a certain level or
higher, the display automatically dims when the vehicle is stopped. Once the
vehicle starts off and the vehicle speed reaches approximately 5 km/h
(3.1 mph) or more, the display automatically returns to its previous bright-
ness.
■ Vehicle speed display
In extremely cold environments, the display of the speedometer and the vehi-
cle speed of the head-up display may slightly differ.

replacement is carried out by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m
(3 ft.) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
