Your vehicle is equipped with push but-
ton start system. The hybrid system
will start automatically by pressing the
“POWER” switch briefly with the brake
pedal depressed.
With smart function1. Carry the key with you.
2. Press the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.
Without smart function
1. Insert the key.
2. Press the “POWER” switch briefly with the brake pedal depressed.
The “READY” light flashes and stays on.
Two beeps sound after a few seconds,
and the hybrid system will start. (If the
ambient temperature is low such as during
winter, it may take time until the “READY”
light comes on.) You cannot start your
vehicle when the brake pedal is not de-
pressed. (For details, see “How to start
the hybrid system—” on page 234.)
The engine may not start even with the
“READY” light on. Drive your vehicle with a smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for more
efficient use, do not accelerate or de-
celerate your vehicle more than neces-
sary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
The remaining capacity of the hybrid
vehicle battery can be confirmed on
the energy monitor screen of the multi
−
information display. See “Information”
on page 150 for details. Gradual or
non− abrupt acceleration or deceleration
will more effectively use the benefits of
an electric motor without having to use
gasoline engine power. When parking, be sure to put the hy-
brid transaxle in “P”. While driving, use
the hybrid transaxle in “D”.
In “N”, the gasoline engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated. The
battery will be discharged requiring un-
necessary engine power to recharge.
The hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid vehicle battery
when the remaining battery power is
reduced. However, the charging is not
available if the hybrid transaxle is “N”.

When the multiinformation display
shows this message, the master warn-
ing light
() comes on in the instru-
ment cluster. Read the message and
follow the instruction.
When you leave your vehicle, or stop
or park for a while, put the hybrid
transaxle in “P”.
Charging is necessary. In “N”, charging
will not be applied. The electric genera-
tor operates in “P”, “D” or “B”. If you
continue driving, put the hybrid trans-
axle in “D” or “B” and depress the
accelerator pedal. Do not leave the hy-
brid transaxle in “N”. When driving in
traffic jam, operate in “D”.
12P009c
Do not allow anyone to lean against the
side of the rear right seatback, nor put
any luggage or other obstructions on it.
An air vent is provided on the side of
the rear right seatback to cool the hy-
brid vehicle battery. If this vent is cov-
ered, the hybrid vehicle battery will
overheat resulting in a reduction of the
output performance of the hybrid sys-
tem.
The seat belt not properly set in the
guide on the top of the rear seat may
block the air vent. Be sure to pass the
seat belt through the guide properly.
Do not wet or put foreign objects over
the air vent. Otherwise, the hybrid ve-
hicle battery may be adversely affected
and be damaged.
You may hear a cooling fan noise from
the air vent.
For vehicle repairs or maintenance, be
sure to consult your Toyota dealer.
If your vehicle is beyond repair because
of accident or something, be sure to
consult your Toyota dealer.
As sealed Nickel −Metal hydride batteries
are used, be sure to consult your Toyota
dealer when disposing of your vehicle.

If you do not drive your vehicle,
store the smart key, keeping it at
least 5 m (16 ft.) away from the ve-
hicle.
ALARMS AND WARNING LIGHT
Your vehicle is equipped with alarms
inside and outside, as well as warning
light in the instrument cluster, that re-
mind you if there is a problem involv-
ing the smart entry and start system.
This warning light will come on when the
“IG
−ON” mode is enabled and will go off
after a few seconds.
If an alarm sounds or the warning light
comes on, be sure to check your ve-
hicle and smart key. (a) The hybrid system was not turned
off and the transaxle was in a posi-
tion other than “P”.
When the driver ’s door is opened with the
hybrid system in “ACC” or “IG −ON” and
with the transaxle in a position other than
“P”.
