tors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●Pedestrians wearing clothes which
only partially reflect ultrasonic waves (ex skirts with gathers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpendicu-lar to the ground, not perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction,
uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
●Strong wind is blowing
●When driving in inclement weather
such as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When an object that cannot be
detected is between the vehicle and a detected object
●If an object such as a vehicle, motor-cycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the vehicle or runs out from
the side of the vehicle
●If the orientation of a sensor has been
changed due to a collision or other impact
●When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet, bumper protector (an addi-
tional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow

■If “Not enough space to exit” is dis-
played
The parallel parking departure function cannot be used due to a situation such
as the distance between your vehicle and vehicles parked in front of and behind your vehicle being short, the
existence of an object in the departure direction, etc.
Check the conditions of the area around
your vehicle and depart from the parking space manually.
■If “Cannot control speed” is dis-played
The system judged that it cannot adjust the speed of the vehicle when using the system in an area with a slope or step
and assistance was canceled.

If the tires are spinning, the slip
indicator flashes to indicate that the
Trail Mode is controlling the spin-
ning of the tires.
■Trail Mode
●Trail Mode controls the vehicle so that it can use the maximum amount of drive force when driving on rough
roads. As a result, fuel efficiency may diminish when compared to driving with Trail Mode off.
●If Trail Mode is continuously used for a long period of time, depending on
the driving conditions, the load on
related parts increases and the sys- tem may not function correctly. In this case, the “Traction Control Turned
OFF” will be shown on the multi-infor- mation display but the vehicle can be driven normally.
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” on the multi-information display will turn off after a short while and the system
will operate properly.
■When Trail Mode is canceled
In the following situations, Trail Mode is automatically canceled even if it is
selected:
●When the driving mode is changed.
( P.322)
●When the hybrid system is restarted.
■Sounds and vibrations when driv-
ing in Trail Mode
Any of the following conditions may occur when Trail Mode is operating.
None of these indicates that a malfunc- tion has occurred:
●Vibrations may be felt throughout the vehicle or steering
●Sounds may be heard from the engine compartment
■When the Trail Mode indicator does not illuminate
When the Trail Mode indicator does not illuminate even though the Trail Mode is selected, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable

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 2 2 )
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.
