WARNING
QWhen starting the hybrid system
Always start the hybrid system while
sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any
circumstances. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
QCaution while driving
If hybrid system failure occurs while
the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop.
Activation of the steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an acci-dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
QWhen starting the hybrid system
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have your vehicle checked by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
QSymptoms indicating a malfunc-tion with the power switch
If the power switch seems to be oper- ating somewhat differently than usual, such as the switch sticking slightly,
there may be a malfunction. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer immediately.
Stopping the hybrid system
WARNING
QStopping the hybrid system in an emergency
OIf you want to stop the hybrid sys-tem in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press and hold the
power switch for more than 2 sec- onds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P.500)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the hybrid sys-
tem off while driving will not cause a loss of steering or braking control. However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost making it difficult to steer smoothly before stopping the vehicle depending on
the remaining charge in the 12-volt battery or usage conditions. In this situation, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

2765-2. Driving procedures
Modes can be changed by pressing
the power switch with the brake
pedal released. (The mode

QAuto power off function
OIf the vehicle is left in ACC or ON (the hybrid system is not operating) for
more than 20 minutes with the shift lever in P, the power switch will auto-matically turn to OFF.
OIf the 12-volt battery is low with the shift lever is in P and the power switch
is in ACC or ON (the hybrid system is not operating), a buzzer sounds and a message will be displayed on the
multi-information display. If this con- tinues, the power switch will automati-cally turn to OFF.
However, this function cannot entirely prevent the 12-volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the power
switch in ACC or ON for long periods of time when the hybrid system is not oper-ating.

*1: To improve fuel efficiency and
reduce noise, shift the shift lever to
D for normal driving.
*2: Vehicles with paddle shift switches
only: Selecting shift ranges in the D
position allows suitable use of
engine braking. ( P.279)
*3: By selecting shift ranges using S
mode, you can control accelerating
force and engine braking force.
QWhen driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range or cruise control activated (if
equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range, or cruise
control will not be canceled.

Close all the doors and windows,
and turn the power switch to
OFF.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
QFuel types
 P.567
QFuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on
unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
Perform the following steps to
open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
WARNING
QWhen refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
OAfter exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an unpainted metal surface to dis-
charge any static electricity. It is important to discharge static elec-tricity before refueling because
sparks resulting from static electric- ity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
OAlways hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened. Wait until the sound cannot be
heard before fully removing the cap. In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck
and cause injury.
ODo not allow anyone that has not
discharged static electricity from their body to come close to an open fuel tank.
ODo not inhale vaporized fuel.Fuel contains substances that are
harmful if inhaled.
ODo not smoke while refueling the
vehicle. Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
ODo not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is stati-
cally charged. This may cause static electricity to build up, result-ing in a possible ignition hazard.
QWhen refueling
Observe the following precautions to
prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
OSecurely insert the fuel nozzle into
the fuel filler neck.
OStop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
ODo not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
QRefueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehicle,
such as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or dam-aging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
QWhen working on the engine compartment
OMake sure that “IGNITION ON” on the multi-information display and the “READY” indicator are both off.
OKeep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan.
OBe careful not to touch the engine, power control unit, radiator, exhaust
manifold, etc. right after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other flu-ids may also be hot.
ODo not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the engine compartment.
ODo not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to fuel. Fuel fumes are flammable.
OTake care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and dam-age painted surfaces. If fluid gets
on your hands or in your eyes, flush the affected area with clean water immediately. If you still experience
discomfort, consult a doctor.
QWhen working near the electric
cooling fan or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is off. With the power switch in ON, the
electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is
high. ( P.458)
QSafety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc., from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
QIf you remove the air cleaner fil-ter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive engine wear due to dirt in the air.
QIf the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to
go down slightly as the brake pads wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent refill- ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
