●When parking in a coin-operated
parking lot (Radio waves used to
detect vehicles may affect the
smart key system.)
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the hybrid system is started or power switch modes
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electro
nic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the hybrid system if the
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large
amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or
in a car wash when the electronic
key is within the effective range.
(The doors will au tomatically be
locked after approximately 60 sec-
onds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors when the
electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possib ility that the door
may not be unlocked by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor
while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation. Remove
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.

1904-1. Before driving
rain, as the road surface could be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
( P.105)
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to
the ECO Accelerator Guidance dis-
play. Also, by using the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance it is easier to
increase the “Eco Score” evaluation.
●When starting off:
While staying within the ECO
Accelerator Guidance range,
gradually depress the accelerator
pedal and accelerate to the
desired speed. If excessive accel-
eration is avoid ed, the “Start”
score will increase.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Ac celerator Guid-
ance range. By keeping the vehi-
cle within the ECO Accelerator
Guidance range, the “Cruise”
score will increase.
●When stopping:
When stopping the vehicle, early
releasing the accelerator pedal
will cause the “Stop” score to
increase.
■Restraining the hybrid system
output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
●A warning messag e is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
( P.641)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control)
●When the following unusual oper-
ation is performed, the hybrid sys-
tem output may b e restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from
R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D
*, or
P to R* (D includes S) with the
accelerator pedal depressed, a
warning message appears on the
multi-information display. If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information d isplay, read the
message and follow the instruc-
tions.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the
vehicle is in reverse.
*: Depending on the situation, the
shift position may not be changed.
●While Drive-Start Control is being
activated, your v ehicle may have
trouble escaping from the mud or
fresh snow. In such case, deacti-
vate TRAC ( P.369) to cancel
Drive-Start Cont rol so that the
vehicle may be able to escape
from the mud o r fresh snow.
●Drive-Start Contro l does not work
when Trail Mode is turned on.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
●For the first 600 miles (1000 km):
