Vehicle status information and indicators
■Display items
Odometer
Displays the total distance the vehi-
cle has been driven.
Trip meter A/Trip meter B
Displays the distance the vehicle
has been driven since the meter
was last reset. Trip meters A and B
can be used to record and display
different distances independently.
Distance until next engine oil
change
Displays the distance the vehicle

item will be changed. When the
trip meter is displayed, pressing
and holding the switch will reset
the trip meter.
WARNING
For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and
the new gear number appearing
on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly
an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
engine and its components
●Do not let the i ndicator needle
of the tachomete r enter the red
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge is in the red zone
(H). In this case, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it
has cooled completely.
( P.543)
■Voltmeter
When the voltmeter indicates 19
V or higher or 9 V or lower while
the hybrid system is operating,
there may be a 12- volt battery or
charging system malfunction.
Have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
■Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil
pressure gauge drops while the
engine is running, stop the vehicle
in a safe place immediately and
check the amoun t of engine oil.
( P.466)
When the oil pressure drops even
though the engine oil amount has
not decreased, or i f the oil pres-
sure does not increase when
engine oil is added, contact your
Toyota dealer, as there may be a
problem with the lubrication sys-
tem.

■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing an electronic key
onto an aircraft, make sure you do
not press any buttons on the elec-
tronic key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying an elec-
tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure
that the buttons are not likely to be
pressed accidentally. Pressing a
button may cause the electronic key
to emit radio waves that could inter-
fere with the oper ation of the air-
craft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2
years.
●If the battery becomes low, an
alarm will sound in the cabin and a
message will be s hown on the
multi-information display when the hybrid system is stopped.
●To reduce key battery depletion
when the electronic key is to not
be used for long periods of time,
set the electronic key to the bat-
tery-saving mode. (
P.141)
●As the electronic key always
receives radio waves, the battery
will become depleted even if the
electronic key is not used. The fol-
lowing symptoms indicate that the
electronic key battery may be
depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary.
• The smart key system or the wire- less remote contro l does not oper-
ate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key sur- face does not turn on.
●To avoid serious deterioration, do
not leave the electronic key within
3 ft. (1 m) of the following electri-
cal appliances that produce a
magnetic field:
•TVs
• Personal computers
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Table lamps
• Induction cookers

and closing a rear door.
• A rear door has been opened and closed after the hybrid system
was started.
However, if a rear door is opened
and then closed within approxi-
mately 2 seconds , the rear seat
reminder function may not operate.
●The rear seat reminder function
determines that luggage, etc., has
been placed in a rear seat based
on opening and closing of a rear
door. Therefore, depending on the
situation, the rear seat reminder
function may not operate and you
may still forget luggage, etc., in
the rear seat, or it may operate
