hicle to the Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. In this case, you may feel
the heavy steering wheel maneuver-
ing. Drive your vehicle while gripping
the steering wheel firmly.
(i) Open Door Warning Light and Buzz- er
This light remains on until all the doors
and trunk lid are completely closed.
The buzzer also sounds once when any
of the doors or trunk lid is not completely
closed at the vehicle speed 5 km/h (3
mph) or more. Stop the vehicle and close
the door and trunk lid completely. (j) SRS Warning Light
This indicator comes on when the
“POWER” switch is set at ON. It goes
off after about 6 seconds. This means
the SRS front airbags and seat belt pre-
tensioners are operating properly.
This warning light system monitors the
airbag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sen-
sors, curtain shield airbag sensors, driv-
er ’s seat position sensor, driver ’s seat belt
buckle switch, front passenger occupant
classification system, “AIRBAG ON” indi-
cator light, “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light,
front passenger ’s seat belt buckle switch,
seat belt pretensioner assemblies, inflat-
ors, interconnecting wiring and power
sources.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the airbags
or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to.
The light does not come on when the
“POWER” switch is set at ON or re-
mains on for more than 6 seconds.
The light comes on or starts flashing
while driving.The SRS warning light and “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light will come on if there is a
malfunction in the front passenger occu-
pant classification system.
(k) Low Tire Pressure Warning Light
This light warns that the tire pressure of
one or more of your tires (including the
spare tire) is low. The light comes on
when the “POWER” switch is set at ON.
It goes off when the “READY” light comes
on. This indicates that the tire pressure
warning system is functioning properly.
If the warning light comes on, stop your
vehicle in a safe place as soon as pos-
sible and check that the inflation pressure
of all tires (including the spare tire) is as
specified on the tire and loading informa-
tion label. (See “Checking tire inflation
pressure” on page 359 in Section 7−
2.)
The light should go off a few minutes after
the tire pressure is adjusted.
If the warning light blinks (comes on after
blinking for 1 minute), the tire pressure
warning system may be malfunctioning.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
For details, see “Tire pressure warning
system” on page 168 in Section 1 −7.

When the “POWER” switch is changed
from ON (with the hybrid system turned
off) to off and then changed to ACC,
“DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL” will
appear on the multi−information display.
If the amber indicator light on the
“POWER” switch blinks, this indicates a
malfunction of the push start system. Turn
off the hybrid system immediately and
contact your Toyota dealer.
Approximately five hours after the hybrid
system is turned off, you may hear s ound
coming from underneath the trunk for sev-
eral minutes. This is normal operation and
does not indicate a malfunction. (See
“Leak detection pump” on page ix.)
It is not a malfunction if the needle on all
meters and gauges move slightly when the
“POWER” switch is set at ACC, ON or
when the hybrid system is turned on.
NOTICE
Do not leave the “POWER” switch at
ACC or ON with the hybrid system
turned off. The 12 volt battery will
discharge.
When the 12 volt battery is discon-
nected or run down, the push button
start function memorizes the current
mode. After you reconnect, replace, or re-
charge the battery, the memorized mode
is selected automatically. In any of these
cases, turn off the hybrid system if the
hybrid system is turned on.

comes on. If the slip indicator light does
not come on when the “POWER” switch is
set at ON, contact your Toyota dealer.While the VDIM is using its various func-
tions to stabilize vehicle motion, the slip
indicator in the instrument cluster flashes
and the buzzer sounds. Drive carefully
when you are in situations where the indi-
cator flashes. You may feel some vibra-
tions from the underbody and you may
feel some resistance when turning the
steering wheel when the VDIM is using its
various functions.

“ABS” warning light
When the “POWER” switch is set at
ON, the “ABS” warning light comes on.
It will go off when the “READY” light
comes on. If the “ABS” warning light
does not come on when the “POWER”
switch is set at ON, contact your
Toyota dealer.
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
after the “POWER” switch is set at ON
or if it comes on while driving, the
antilock brake system function may
not operate properly. Although the
brake system operates without the func-
tion, drive carefully and have your ve-
hicle checked by a Toyota dealer as
soon as possible. For details, see “Ser-
vice reminder indicators and warning
buzzers” on page 150 in Section 16.
Message “CHECK VSC SYSTEM”
If “CHECK VSC SYSTEM” appears on
the multiinformation display, the trac-
tion control and vehicle stability control
functions may not operate properly. Al-
though the brake system operates nor-
mally without these functions, drive
carefully and have your vehicle checked
by a Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
For details, see “—Messages” on page
140 in Section 16.BRAKE ASSIST FUNCTION
The brake assist function is designed to
assist with emergency braking. When the
driver suddenly depresses the brake ped-
al, the device treats it as emergency brak-
ing and adds braking force.
If you slam the brakes on or apply the
brakes more firmly, more powerful braking
will be applied.
CAUTION
The brake assist function is not de-
signed to shorten braking distance.
Always drive at a moderate speed and
maintain a safe distance from the ve-
hicle in front of you. Depending on
road conditions, braking distance may
be longer than that of a vehicle with-
out the brake assist device. If tire
chains are used, braking distance
may become longer.

The tire pressure warning light comes on
when the “POWER” switch is set at ON
and goes off after a few seconds. This
means the tire pressure warning light is
operating properly. If the tire inflation pres-
sure becomes low, the light comes on
again. In this case, adjusting the tire infla-
tion pressure will turn off the light after a
few minutes. If the light comes on after
blinking for 1 minute, the tire pressure
warning system is not working properly.Indicator

CAUTION
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on, be sure to observe the
following precautions. Failure to do
so could cause loss of vehicle control
and result in death or serious injury.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If the tire is flat, change to
the spare tire and have the flat tire
repaired by the nearest Toyota deal-
er.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and bra-
king. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel or the brakes.

The tire pressure warning light may turn
on due to natural causes such as natural
air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes
caused by temperature. In this case, ad-
justing the tire inflation pressure will turn
off the light after a few minutes.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset
switch does not turn off the tire pressure
warning light. Adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the light.
The compact spare tire is not equipped
with the tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter. If a tire goes flat, the warning
light will not turn off even though the flat
tire is replaced with the spare tire. Re-
place the spare tire with the repaired tire
and adjust the proper tire inflation pressur-
e. The tire pressure warning light will turn
off after a few minutes.CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label
(tire and load information label), you
should determine the proper tire infla-
tion pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your ve-
hicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS–
tire pressure warning system) that il-
luminates a low tire pressure telltale
(tire pressure warning light) when one
or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. Accordingly, when the
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light) illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as
soon as possible, and inflate them to
the proper pressure. Driving on a sig-
nificantly underinflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Underinflation also re-
duces fuel efficiency and tire tread
life, and may affect the vehicle’s han-
dling and stopping ability.
