For safety and security
*: This function can only be used in
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive, refer to “NAVIGA-
TION AND MULTIMEDIA
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Predictive deceleration sup-
port
 When the vehicle approaches
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the
navigation system, the “Refer-
ence operation range” ( ) of
the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance ( P.105) on the multi-
information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.
 The engine braking force will be increased according to the
driving conditions to more effi-
ciently charge the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) after the
accelerator pedal is released.
■Predictive SOC control
The following types of control
are performed based on data
such as road and traffic informa-
tion during route guidance by
the navigation system to help
ensure that the vehicle effi-
ciently uses electricity.
 When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) level
before reaching the slope to
help ensure charging capacity
for regenerative braking while
traveling downhill.
 When traffic congestion is
predicted along the route, the
system helps ensure a certain
battery level before reaching
congested roads to reduce
the frequency of starting the
engine to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery) due
to low battery levels.

6688-2. Steps to take in an emergency
possible.
■Starting the hybrid system
when the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be
started by push-starting.
■To prevent 12-vol t battery dis-
charge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the hybrid sys-
tem is off.
●Turn off any unnec essary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the 12-volt battery is
removed or discharged
●Information stor ed in the ECU is
cleared. When the 12-volt battery
is depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. ( P.711)
■When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery terminals
When the 12-volt battery terminals
are removed, the information stored
in the ECU is cleared. Before
removing the 12-volt battery termi-
nals, contact your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 1 2-volt battery
The electricity stor ed in the 12-volt
battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due
to natural discharge and the drain-
ing effects of certa in electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the 12-volt battery may dis-
charge, and the hybrid system may
be unable to start. (The 12-volt bat-
tery recharges aut omatically while
the hybrid system is operating.)
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery (vehicles
without smart key system)
The hybrid system may not start on the first attempt after the 12-volt bat-
tery has recharged but will start nor-
mally after the second attempt. This
is not a malfunction.
■When recharging or replacing
the 12-volt battery (vehicles
with smart key system)
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the 12-
volt battery is discharged. Use the
wireless remote c
ontrol or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The hybrid syste m may not start
on the first attempt after the 12-
volt battery has recharged but will
start normally after the second
attempt. This is n ot a malfunction.
●The power switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the 12-
volt battery is reconnected, the
system will return to the mode it
was in before the 12-volt battery
was discharged. Before discon-
necting the 12-volt battery, turn
the power switch off.
If you are unsure what mode the
power switch was in before the
12-volt battery discharged, be
especially careful when recon-
necting the 12-volt battery.
●Some systems may require initial-
ization. (P.711)
■When replacing t he 12-volt bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery that con-
forms to European regulations.
●Type A:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (45Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(285A) or greater.
Type B:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN1), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-

6698-2. Steps to take in an emergency
8
When trouble arises
alent (45Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(286A) or greater.
Type C:
Use a battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20
hours rate capacity (20HR) is equiv-
alent (55Ah) or greater, and perfor-
mance rating (CCA) is equivalent
(345A) or greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt bat-
tery cannot be pr operly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low,
even if the time period where the
vehicle is not used is a short time,
the 12-volt battery may discharge
and hybrid system may not be
able to start.
●Use a ventilation t ype calcium bat-
tery
●Use a 12-volt battery with a han-
dle. If a 12-volt b attery without a
handle is used, removal is more
difficult.
●When removing the 12-volt bat-
tery:  P.587
●After replacing, firmly attach the
following items to the exhaust hole
of the 12-volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was attached to the 12-volt battery
before replacing an d confirm that
it is firmly connected to the hole
section of t he vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug
included with the new 12-volt bat-
tery or the one installed on the
battery prior to t he replacement.
(Depending on the new 12-volt
battery installed, the exhaust hole
may be plugged.)
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer. Exhaust hole

WARNING
■When removing the battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-)
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, leading to a fire
in addition to ele ctrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires
or explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of
the jumper cable connected to
the “+” terminal to come into
contact with any other parts or
metal surfaces in the area, such
as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps
of the jumper cables to come
into contact with each other.
