5808-2. Steps to take in an emergency
vehicle.
• “Hybrid System Stopped” • “Engine Stopped”
●If “Maintenance required for DCDC converter cooling parts See Owner’s
Manual” is shown, the filter may be
clogged, the air intake vent may be blocked, or there may be a gap in the
duct. Therefore, perform the following
correction procedure. • If the air intake v ent or filter of the
DC/DC converter are dirty, perform
the procedures on P.536 to clean them.
• If the warning message is shown
when the air intake vent and filter of the DC/DC converter are not dirty,
have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●If “12-Volt Battery Charging System
Malfunction Stop in a Safe Place See
Owner’s Manual” is shown
Indicates a malfunct ion in the vehicle’s
charging system. Pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
While the message is displayed, the
functions of the air conditioning, etc.
may be partially limited in order to
reduce the power consumption of the
12-volt battery.
■If “Hybrid System Overheated Out - put Power Reduced” is shown
The message may be shown when driv -
ing under severe ope rating conditions. (For example, when driving up a long
steep hill or drivi ng up a steep hill in
reverse.)
Coping method: →P.611
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be Protected Refrain from the Use of N
Position” is shown
This message may be displayed when the shift lever is in N.
As the hybrid battery (traction battery)
cannot be charged when the shift lever
is in N, shift the shift lever to P when the
vehicle is stopped.
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be Protected Shift into P to Restart” is
shown
This message is displayed when the hybrid battery (trac tion battery) charge
has become extremely low because the
shift lever has been left in N for a certain amount of time.
When operating the vehicle, shift to P
and restart the hybrid system.
■If “Shift to P when Parked” is shown
Message is displayed when the driver’s
door is opened without turning the power switch to OFF with the shift lever
in any position other than P.
Shift the shif t lever to P.
■If “Shift is in N Release Accelerator Before Shifting” is shown
Message is displaye d when the acceler-
ator pedal has been depressed and the shift lever is in N. Release the accelera -
tor pedal and shift the shift lever to D or
R.
■If “Press Brake when Vehicle is Stopped Hybrid System may Over -
heat” is shown
Message is displaye d when the acceler- ator pedal is depressed to maintain the
vehicle position when stopped on a
upward slope, etc.
If this continues, the hybrid system may
overheat.
Release the accelerator pedal and depress the brake pedal.
■If “Auto Power OFF to Conserve
Battery” is shown
Power was turned off due to the auto -
matic power o ff function.
Next time when starting the hybrid sys -
tem, operate the hybrid system for
approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery.

The exclusive jump starting terminal
is to be used when charging the 12-
volt battery from another vehicle in an
emergency. It cannot be used to jump start another vehicle.
If your vehicle overheats
The following may indicate that
your vehicle is overheating.
 The high coolant temperature
warning light ( →P.170) comes
on or flashes, or a loss of
hybrid system power is experi -
enced. (For example, the vehi -
cle speed does not increase.)
 “Engine Coolant Temp High

If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contac t any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
4 The coolant level is satisfactory
if it is between the “FULL” and
“LOW” lines on the reservoir.
Reservoir
“FULL” line

5 Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emergency if
engine coolant is unavailable.
If water was added in an emergency,
have the vehicle i nspected at any
authorized Toyota r etailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
6 Start the hybrid system and turn
the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling
fan operates and to check for
coolant leaks from the radiator
or hoses.
The fan operates when the air condi -
tioning system is turned on immediately
after a cold start. Confirm that the fan is operating by check ing the fan sound
and air flow. If it is difficult to check
these, adjust the temperature control switch to “LO” and turn the “A/C” switch
ON and OFF. After t his, turn the air
conditioning system o n and off repeat- edly. (The fan may not operate in freez-
ing temperatures.)
