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”.

These high voltage parts or cables
consisting of an electromagnetic
shielding structure produce relatively
the same amount of electromagnetic
waves as conventional gasoline
fueled vehicles or home electric ap-
pliances.
As unwanted noise may occur in the
reception of mobile radios, contact
your Toyota dealer for installation or
removal.
Always keep your hybrid vehicle’s driv-
ing characteristics in mind.
CAUTION
The driver should pay full attention
around the vehicle especially when it
is driven only by the electric motor
(with the gasoline engine stopped).
People in the immediate area might
misjudge the hybrid vehicle move-
ment based on the absence of the
regular engine noise.
As the vehicle runs with both the gaso-
line engine and electric motor, you may
hear a motor sound coming from the
engine compartment.
When the hybrid system is started or
stopped, you may hear a sound coming
from the hybrid vehicle battery in the
luggage compartment. However, this
does not indicate any trouble.
If the “READY” light is on, you can
start even though the gasoline engine
may be off.
When you shift the shift lever to “B”
and release it to its original position
and your foot from the accelerator ped-
al, engine braking will be applied. How-
ever, during high speed driving you
may feel that deceleration by engine
braking is less than that of ordinary
vehicle.
Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle in
“P” when parking.
In “N”, the hybrid vehicle battery assembly
is not charged, even if the gasoline en-
gine is operating. You cannot run your
vehicle if the hybrid transaxle is left in “N”
for a long time because the hybrid vehicle
battery assembly will be discharged. When you leave your vehicle, apply the
parking brake to put the hybrid trans-
axle in “P” and be sure to carry the
key with you and lock all the doors.
If you leave the hybrid system in “ACC”
or “IG
−ON”, the hybrid system may not
start because the auxiliary battery will be
discharged.
CAUTION
When you leave your vehicle, be
sure to shut off the hybrid system.
Be sure to put the hybrid transaxle
in “P” because the vehicle can start
with the “READY” light on and the
engine stopped (no engine sound
and vibration). When the “READY”
light is on, if you leave your ve-
hicle in shift position other than
“P” and “N”, the vehicle will creep
and start abruptly with the accelera-
tor pedal being depressed by mis-
take. This may cause death or seri-
ous injury.

17
CAUTION
If you are involved in an accident,
follow these precautions.
Move the vehicle to a safe place
and perform the followings to re-
duce the risk of high voltage elec-
tricity leakage. Depress the brake pedal and apply
the parking brake.
 Press the “P” position switch and
stop the hybrid system.
 If the key is inserted into key slot,
remove it.
If your vehicle has experienced ma-
jor damage, you may get an electric
shock. To prevent this, never touch
the high voltage parts (hybrid ve-
hicle battery assembly, etc.) or
cables (orange color) connecting
these parts. If some exposed elec-
tric wires are protruding inside or
outside of the vehicle, an electric
shock may also occur. Never touch
them.
If the fluid leaks or gets in some
part of the vehicle, never touch it
because it may be electrolyte
(strong alkali) from the hybrid ve-
hicle battery. If it gets on your skin
or eyes, wash off immediately with
a large amount of water, if possible,
with boric acid solution, and get
immediate medical attention in or-
der to help avoid serious injury.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish
it using a fire extinguisher for the
exclusive use on electric fires. As
a small amount of water may be
dangerous, use a large amount of
water, for example from a fire hy-
drant, or wait for a firefighting
team arrival.
If your vehicle needs to be towed,
do it with the front wheels or all
four wheels raised. If the front
wheels are on the ground when
towing, the electric motor may con-
tinue to generate electricity which
could leak electricity. A fire could
occur depending on the degree of
damage. See “If your vehicle needs
to be towed” on page 258.
