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 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 battery assembly is not
charged, even if the gasoline engine is
operating. You cannot run your vehicle if
the hybrid transaxle is left in “N” for a
long time because the hybrid battery as-
sembly 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 12 volt battery will be
discharged.
If the vehicle is parked for a long time,
the hybrid battery will discharge gradually.
To keep the hybrid battery in good condi-
tion, drive the vehicle at least once every
several months for at least 30 minutes or
ten miles. If the hybrid battery becomes
fully discharged and the vehicle will not
start even with a jump −start to the 12 volt
battery, contact your Toyota dealer.
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.

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”.
12P009d
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 battery. If this vent is covered, the
hybrid battery will overheat resulting in
a reduction of the output performance
of the hybrid system.
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.

Keys
21p001a
1. Master keys with silver ornament (Ve-hicles equipped with smart entry and
start system)—These keys work in ev-
ery lock. Your Toyota dealer will need
one of them to make a new key with
a built −in transponder chip. Before you
use these keys, be sure to read “Smart
entry and start system” on page 24.
2. Master keys without silver ornament (Vehicles not equipped with smart entry
and start system)—These keys work in
every lock. Your Toyota dealer will
need one of them to make a new key
with a built −in transponder chip.
3. Mechanical keys (attached to the mas- ter key)—These key work for the driv-
er ’s door only.

USING A MECHANICAL KEY
When you use the mechanical key in-
cluded on the side of the key, slide the
lock knob in the arrow direction and take
out the key as shown. To put the key
back, slide the lock knob in the arrow
direction and replace the key. Be sure to
put the key back when not in use.
Since the doors can be locked without a
key, you should always carry a spare
master key in case you accidentally lock
your keys inside the vehicle.
CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators s hould keep
away from the smart entry and start
system antennas, because the radio
waves may affect the operation of
such devices. For the antenna loca-
tions, see “ANTENNA LOCATIONS”
on page 26.
Users of any electrical medical de-
vice other than implanted pacemak-
ers and implanted cardiac defibrilla-
tors should consult the manufactur-
er of the device for information
about its operation under the influ-
ence of radio waves. Radio waves
could have unexpected effects on
the operation of such medical de-
vices.
If necessary, the smart function can
be disabled. See “DEACTIVATING
THE SMART FUNCTION” on page
34.

By carrying a smart key, you can lock
and unlock the doors and start the hy-
brid system.
For locking the doors, see “Locking the
doors with smart function” on page 30.
For unlocking the doors, see “Unlocking
the door(s) with smart function” on page
31. For starting the hybrid system, see

mechanical key attached to the smart key
by inserting it in the driver’s door keyhole
to lock or unlock door. To start the hybrid
system, insert the smart key into the key
slot. In order to activate the smart func-
tion, the battery should be replaced. For
details, see “—Replacing battery” on page

INFORMATION
Be sure to take the smart key with
you.
In the following cases, the smart
function or wireless remote control
feature may not operate properly. (If
this happens, use a mechanical key
to lock or unlock the driver’s door
and a smart key to start the hybrid
system.) When facilities issuing strong
electromagnetic waves such as
TV towers, electric power sta-
tions, broadcasting stations are
nearby.
 When you are carrying a smart
key together with a mobile com-
munications system such as a
twoway radio or cellular phone.
 When the smart key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic ob-
ject.
 When another person is operating
a wireless remote control func-
tion on another vehicle near 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.CAUTION
People with implanted pacemakers
or cardiac defibrillators s hould keep
away from the smart entry and start
system antennas, because the radio
waves may affect the operation of
such devices. For the antenna loca-
tions, see “ANTENNA LOCATIONS”
