ilar to conventional vehicles, and it is
necessary to refrain from activities such
as sudden acceleration. Refer to “Plug
in Hybrid Electric Vehicle driving tips”
(P.99).
Driving the vehicle
The following procedures
should be observed to ensure
safe driving:
Driving procedure

5-1. Before driving
Driving
QDriving in the rain
ODrive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road could be slippery.
ODrive carefully when it starts to rain, as the road surface could be espe-cially slippery.
ORefrain from high speeds when driv-ing on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-face, preventing the steering and
brakes from operating properly.
QECO Accelerator Guidance ( P.180)
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to the ECO Accelerator Guidance display. Also, by using the ECO Accelerator
Guidance it is easier to increase the “Eco Score” evaluation.
OWhen starting off: While staying within the ECO Accelerator Guidance range, gradually depress the accelerator
pedal and accelerate to the desired speed. If excessive acceleration is avoided, the “Start” score will
increase.
OWhen driving: After accelerating to the
desired speed, release the accelera- tor pedal and drive at a stable speed within the ECO Accelerator Guidance
range. By keeping the vehicle within the ECO Accelerator Guidance range, the “Cruise” score will increase.
OWhen stopping: When stopping the vehicle, early releasing the accelera-
tor pedal will cause the “Stop” score to increase.
QRestraining the hybrid system out-put (Brake Override System)
OWhen the accelerator and brake ped-als are depressed at the same time,
the hybrid system output may be restrained.
OA warning message is displayed on the multi-information display and
head-up display (if equipped) while
the system is operating.
QBreaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observ- ing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
OFor the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
OFor the first 800 km (500 miles):
Do not tow a trailer.
OFor the first 1000 km (600 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.• Do not drive at a constant speed for
extended periods.
QOperating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle regis-
tration laws and confirm the availability of the correct fuel. ( P.560)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
QWhen starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the
“READY” indicator is illuminated. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.

2585-1. Before driving
WARNING
QWhen driving the vehicle
ODo not drive if you are unfamiliar
with the location of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel- erator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden accelera-
tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving
posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accel-
erator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-ing in an accident.
OThe driver should pay extra atten-tion to pedestrians when the vehicle
is powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). As there is no engine noise, the pedestrians
may misjudge the vehicle’s move- ment. Even though the vehicle is equipped with the Acoustic Vehicle
Alerting System, drive with care as pedestrians in the vicinity may still not notice the vehicle if the sur-
rounding area is noisy.
ODo not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable materials such as leaves, paper or rags.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot parts may cause a fire if there is
any flammable material nearby.
ODuring normal driving, do not turn off the hybrid system. Turning the hybrid system off while driving will
not cause loss of steering or brak- ing control, however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so. In the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way:  P.500
OUse engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness. ( P.277)
ODo not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the
inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving.Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
OAlways check that all passengers’
arms, head or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.
QWhen driving on slippery road surfaces
OSudden braking, acceleration and
steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
OSudden acceleration, engine brak-ing due to shifting, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehi- cle to skid.
