Hybrid Synergy Drive System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking for\
ce
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In add\
ition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fu\
el economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown on the Multi-Information Display and/or navigation system
screen (if equipped).
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner\
’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on\
the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking en\
ergy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

Put the selector lever in “P.”

Depress the brake pedal, and “

Display.

until the indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow
initialization to complete.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Keep as low on
hips as possible
Take up slack
NOTE: If a passenger’s seat belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly,
the Automatic locking retractor (ALR) will prevent it from being re-extended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help
hold child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child re\
straint
system, refer to the Owner’s Manual.
Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning) System (TPMS)
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or repl\
aced, turn the
ignition switch to “ON” and press and hold the “
SET” button until indicator blinks
three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow initializati\
on to complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for ti\
re inflation
specifications.
If the tire Qressure indicator fMashes for more than  seconds and then remains on,
take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE: The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes
in tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the
light.
Moving the lever downward will allow the door to be opened only from the\
outside.

Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle i\
