*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) to
indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be
a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if the lights
do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS or SRS warning light not come
on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately if this occurs.
■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle's systems. ( P. 433)
*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) to
indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be

When driving
●
When the trip meter is displayed: the record since the trip meter
was reset is displayed. The record for trip meter A and trip meter B
is displayed separately.
When the trip meter is reset, the record is also reset. ( P. 188)
Average speed
Average speed will be displayed.
Driving time
Driving time will be displayed.
EV driving rate/EV driven distance
EV driving rate and driven distance (percentage and distance
driven using just the elec tric motor [traction motor] only) will be dis-
played.
Cruising range
Displays the estimated maximum di stance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining.
• This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption.
As a result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from
that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display
may not be updated.
Vehicles without a smart key system:
when refueling, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position. If the
vehicle is refueled without turning the engine switch to the “LOCK”
position, the display may not be updated.

Hybrid System Indicator
Charge area
Shows energy regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion ofenergy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop and restart under various con-
ditions.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
Power area
Shows that the driving power is more than the upper limit of Eco driving.
(during full power driving etc.)
Keeping the indicator within Eco area can help Eco-friendly driving.

■“ECO savings” settings
The gasoline price and fuel consum ption comparison settings can be
set, and the screen settings can be changed between basic and
detailed.
● To input the gasoline price, pr ess the “DISP” (to increase) or
“TRIP” (to reduce) switch.
When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
smart key system) or the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode (vehicles
with a smart key system) after refueling, the gasoline price input screen is
automatically displayed.
● To input the fuel consumption co mparison, press the “DISP” (to
increase) or “TRIP” (to reduce) switch.
When the fuel consumption comparison is input, the estimated savings in
fuel costs are displayed. If the fuel consumption comparison is not input,
the cost of the consumed fuel will be displayed.

■The clock is displayed when
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The “POWER” switch is in ON mode.
■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using
cruise control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and
environmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel con-
sumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, driving conditions and environmental
factors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
● Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● Average fuel consumption
● Cruising range
● Average vehicle speed
● Driving time
● EV driving rate/EV driven distance
Additionally, some displays may return to their default settings.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.

204 2-3. Operating the lights and wipers
■Daytime running light system
●To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the hybrid system is
started and the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
For type A: Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the
switch.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Light reminder buzzer
Vehicles without a smart key system
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” or “ACC”
position and the driver's door is opened while the lights are turned on.
Vehicles with a smart key system
A buzzer sounds when the “POWER” switch is turned off or turned to
ACCESSORY mode and the driver's door is opened while the lights are
turned on.
■ Battery-saving function
In the following conditions, the remaining lights will go off automatically after
20 minutes in order to prevent the vehicle battery from being discharged:
●The headlights and/or tail lights are on.
● The engine switch is turned to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles
without a smart key system) or the “P OWER” switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY mode or turned off (vehicles with a smart key system).
This function will be canceled in any of the following situations:
● When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
smart key system) or the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode (vehi-
cles with a smart key system).
● When the light switch is operated.
● When the door is opened or closed.
