Driving
Turns EV drive mode on/off
When EV drive mode is turned on, the
EV drive mode indicator will come on.
Pressing the switch when in EV drive
mode will return the vehicle to normal
driving (using the gasoline engine and
electric motor [traction motor]).
■Situations in which EV drive mode cannot be turned on
It may not be possible to turn EV drive
mode on in the following situations. If it cannot be turned on, a buzzer will sound and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis- charge
Do not stop the hybrid system when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If the hybrid system is stopped
in another shift lever position, the power switch will not be turned off and remained to ON. If the vehicle is left in
ON, battery discharge may occur.
EV drive mode
In EV drive mode, electric
power is supplied by the
hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery), and only the electric
motor (traction motor) is used
to drive the vehicle.
This mode allows you to drive
in residential areas early in the
morning and late at night, or in
indoor parking lots, etc., with-
out concern for noises and gas
emissions.

4-2. Driving procedures
●The temperature of the hybrid system
is high. The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
●The temperature of the hybrid system
is low. The vehicle has been left in tempera-tures lower than about 0°C (32°F) for
a long period of time, etc.
●The gasoline engine is warming up.
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) is low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the energy monitor display is low. ( P.120)
●Vehicle speed is high.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill, etc.
●The windshield defogger is in use.
■Switching to EV drive mode when the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is started while the
gasoline engine is cold, the gasoline engine will start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm up.
In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV drive mode.
After the hybrid system has started and
the “READY” indicator has illuminated, press the EV drive mode switch before the gasoline engine starts to switch to
EV drive mode.
■Automatic cancelation of EV drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the gas-
oline engine may start automatically and the vehicle may be driven by the gaso-line engine and electric motor (traction
motor) in the following situations. When EV drive mode is canceled, a buzzer will sound, the EV drive mode indicator will
flash, and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display.
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low.The remaining battery level indicated
in the energy monitor display is low.
( P.120)
●Vehicle speed is high.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill, etc.
■Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
EV drive mode’s possible driving dis- tance ranges from a few hundred meters to approximately 1 km (0.6 mile).
However, depending on vehicle condi- tions, there are situations when EV drive mode cannot be used.
(The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level and driving conditions.)
■Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during normal driving (using the gaso-
line engine and electric motor [traction motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
■If “EV Mode Unavailable” is shown on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode is not available. The
reason the EV drive mode is not avail- able (the vehicle is idling, battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher than the
EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator pedal is depressed too much) may be displayed. Use the EV
drive mode when it becomes available.
■If “EV Mode Deactivated” is shown on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode has been automati-
cally canceled. The reason the EV drive mode is not available (the battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher
than the EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator pedal is depressed too much) may be displayed. Drive the
vehicle for a while before attempting to turn on the EV drive mode again.

Driving
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce
noise, shift the shift lever to D for nor-
mal driving.
■Restraining sudden start (Drive- Start Control)
 P. 1 6 5
■When driving with dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving mode
to power mode with the intent of enabling engine braking, engine braking will not occur because dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range will not be canceled. ( P.275)
WARNING
■Caution while driving
When driving in EV drive mode, pay
special attention to the area around the vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people rid-
ing bicycles or other people and vehi- cles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching
them.
Take extra care while driving even if the acoustic vehicle alerting system is
active.

4-2. Driving procedures
: While the power switch is in
ON and the brake pedal
depressed*, shift the shift lever
while pushing the shift release but-
ton on the shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever while push-
ing the shift release button on the
shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped.
*: For the vehicle be able to be shifted
from P, the brake pedal must be
depressed before the shift release
button is pushed. If the shift release
button is pushed first, the shift lock
will not be released.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre- vent accidental operation of the shift lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the power switch is in ON and the brake pedal is being depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted
from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is being depressed.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may be a problem with the shift lock system.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer immediately. The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to ensure that the
shift lever can be shifted. Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the power switch off.
WARNING
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears sud- denly. Sudden changes in engine braking
may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) will not be charged even when the engine is run-ning. Therefore, if the vehicle is left
with the shift lever in N for a long period of time, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will discharge, and
this may result in the vehicle not being able to start.

3Depress the brake pedal.
4 Ply the cover up with a flathead
screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damaging the cover, wrap the tip of the flathead screw-
driver with a tape.
5 Press and hold the shift lock override
button and then push the button on the shift knob.
The shift lever can be shifted while the
both buttons are pressed.
■About engine braking
When shift position B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will apply engine braking.
●When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gaso-
line-fueled vehicles, the engine brak- ing deceleration is felt less than that of other vehicles.
●The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven continuously in the B position, fuel efficiency will become low. Usually, select the D posi-
tion.
 P. 2 7 5
WARNING
■To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when the shift lock override button is
pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
