As a precaution, inspect the charge cable on a routine basis (at least once a
month).
Check that the electrical leakage detection function is operating properly by
following the procedure below.
In the unlikely event that the electrical leakage detection function is not
operating properly, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
Step 1 Insert the charge cable into the outlet of the external power source.
Step 2 Press the test button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
If the error warning indicator
illuminates when the test button
is pressed, the function is
operating correctly.
Step 3 Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Turn off the error warning indicator. Charging cannot be carried out while the
error warning indicator is illuminated.
Charging can be continued by following the normal procedure. If not charging,
store the charge cable.
See the Owner’s Manual for important precautionary information.

Charging system safety functions
- The Hybrid System will not start while the charging cable is attached to the
vehicle, even if the POWER switch is operated.
- If the charge cable is connected while the READY indicator is illuminated, the Hybrid System will stop automatically and driving will not be possible.
- When the charge cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position cannot be changed from P to another position.
- If the latch release button is pressed, charging will not begin even if the charge cable is connected.
- Charging will stop if the latch release button is pressed and held for several seconds during charging. When restarting charging, reinsert the charge connector
after pulling it out, and check that the charging indicator illuminates.
Plug-in Hybrid Applications is a service for plug-in hybrid vehicles that is added

support and drive support via the vehicle’s navigation system and the owner’s
smartphone. The Plug-in Hybrid Apps include Charge Management, Remote
Climate, Charging Station Map, Vehicle Finder and ECO Dashboard.
Both an active Safety Connect
® account and an active Entune® account are
required for the services.
The following functions of the Plug-in Hybrid Applications can be used with the
navigation system:
Type A Download of nearby charging stations to the map screen.

FEATURES/OPERATIONS
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, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display.
Tips for improved fuel economy
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

-Doors lock when shifting from Park.
-Doors lock when the vehicle speed is approximately 12 mph or higher.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
-Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 10 seconds after turning the
“POWER” switch OFF.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details. (1) Depress the brake pedal, and
press the “POWER” switch
briefly and firmly.
(2) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the
light remains steady and a beep
sounds, you may begin driving.

If the Tire Pressure Warning indicator “” illuminates without blinking, adjust
tire pressures to factory-specified levels.* The light will turn off after a few
minutes. The warning light is designed to turn on when tire pressure is critically
low, but it may also come on due to temperature changes or changes in tire
pressure from natural air leakage.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.

Star Safety SystemTM
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of traction occurs
during a turn.
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure to each
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control for the
current road conditions.
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
Brake Assist (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a
split second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly
than just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing Hybrid System
output, and Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy,
or uneven surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits Hybrid System output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel.
This transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep\
you on track.
Traction Control (TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle
to tilt forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to
sudden stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of
all four wheels.
SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA)
and Smart Stop Technology (SST).
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
•

Only
use floor mats designed for your specific model.
•

Use
only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the mat in
place.
•

Install
floor mats right side up.

Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces driving torque when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
