Target parking space position
●If a parked vehicle is behind the target parking space and the distance between it and the vehicle becomes
far, it may no longer be able to be detected. Depending on shape or con-dition of a parked vehicle, the detec-
tion range may become short or the vehicle may not be detected.
●Objects other than parked vehicles, such as columns, walls, etc., may not be detected. Also, if they are
detected, they may cause the target parking space to be misaligned.
WARNING
■To ensure the Advanced Park can operate properly
 P. 2 7 7
In addition, please refer to the “Pan- oramic view monitor” of “Peripheral monitoring system” in the “Navigation
and multimedia system Owner’s man- ual”.

4-6.Driving tips
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount
can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In
addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cool-
ing) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( P. 3 3 0 )
The Eco-friendly driving is possible
by keeping the indicate of Hybrid
System Indicator within Eco area.
( P.96, 102)
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift
lever to P when parking. When
using the N, there is no positive
effect on fuel consumption. In the
N, the gasoline engine operates but
electricity cannot be generated.
Also, when using the air condition-
ing system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con-
sumed.
 Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accelera-
tion and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric
motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine
power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (traction
battery) power, resulting in poor
fuel consumption. Battery power
can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly
released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Repeated acceleration and decel-
eration, as well as long waits at traf-
fic lights, will lead to bad fuel
economy. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delays as
much as possible. When driving in

4-6. Driving tips
a traffic jam, gently release the
brake pedal to allow the vehicle to
move forward slightly while avoid-
ing overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.
Control and maintain the vehicle at
a constant speed. Before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow
plenty of time to release the accel-
erator and gently apply the brakes.
A greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated when
slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline con-
sumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to
reduce the burden on the air condi-
tioning system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline
engine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle
are warm, it will consume fuel. Also,
fuel consumption can be improved
by avoiding overuse of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor
fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel econ-
omy. Use tires that are appropriate
for the season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a
large roof rack will also cause poor
fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up
and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is
unnecessary. Moreover, frequently
driving short distances will cause
the engine to repeatedly warm up,
which can lead to excess fuel con-
sumption.

vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents. Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Use tires of the size specified.
●Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●Do not drive at speeds in excess of the speed limit or the speed limit specified for the snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just some
wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.Failure to do so may result in the vehi-
cle being unable to be driven safely, and may cause death or serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains
being used, or 50 km/h (30 mph), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road sur-faces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before enter-
ing a curve to ensure that vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) system. (if equipped)
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer,
or any reliable repairer or legitimate tire retailers.This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects the operation of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
Before driving the vehicle
