but-
ton.
Do not release the buttons until step 4
has been completed.
4. When the indicator light on the HomeLink
changes from a slow to a
rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can
release both buttons.
5. Test the operation of the HomeLink by
pressing the newly programmed button.
If programming a garage door opener,
check to see if the garage door opens
and closes.
If the garage door does not operate, iden-
tify if your garage transmitter is of the
“Rolling Code” type. Press and hold the
programmed HomeLink
button. The ga-
rage door has the rolling code feature if
the indicator light (on the HomeLink
)
flashes rapidly and then remains lit after
2 seconds. If your garage transmitter is
the “Rolling Code” type, proceed to the
heading “Programming a ro lling code sys-
tem”. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each re-
maining HomeLink
button to program
another device.
Programming a rolling code system
If your device is “Rolling Code”
equipped, it is necessary to follow
steps 1 through 4 under the heading
“Programming the HomeLink
” before
proceeding with the steps listed below.
1. Locate the “training” button on the ceil- ing mounted garage door opener motor.
The exact location and color of the
button may vary by brand of garage
door opener. Refer to the owner ’s
guide supplied by the garage door
opener manufacturer for the location of
this “training” button.
2. Press the “training” button on the ceil- ing mounted garage door opener motor.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds
in which to initiate step 3 below. 3. Press and release the vehicle’s pro- grammed HomeLink
button twice. The

Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break−in. But following a few simple tips
for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add
to the future economy and long life of
your vehicle:
Avoid full throttle acceleration when
starting and driving.
Avoid racing the hybrid system.
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
Do not drive for a long time at any
single speed, either fast or slow.
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
km (500 miles). FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only un-
leaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mix
−ups, your
Toyota has a smaller fuel tank opening.
The special nozzle on pumps with un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.
At a minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5 −M93
in Canada.NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of
leaded gasoline will cause the three
way catalytic converter to lose its ef-
fectiveness and the emission control
system to function improperly. Also,
this can increase maintenance costs.
OCTANE RATING
Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Oc-
tane Number 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating lower than 87 may result in engine
knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to
engine damage.
If your engine knocks...
If you detect heavy knocking even when
using the recommended fuel, or if you
hear steady knocking while holding a
steady speed on level roads, consult your
Toyota dealer.
However, occasionally, you may notice
light knocking for a short time while accel-
erating or driving up hills. This is normal
and there is no need for concern.

REGENERATIVE BRAKE
When the brake is applied, the motor gen-
erator converts kinetic energy into electric
energy.
When applying brakes, you may hear a
sound coming from the motor generator.
However, this does not indicate any
trouble.
The regenerative brake works in the fol-
lowing operations.1. When the accelerator pedal is released, the reduced speed equal to engine
braking in a gasoline −fueled vehicle is
obtained in accordance with the running
mode position of the selector lever.
2. When the brake pedal is depressed with the selector lever in “D” or “B”,
the regenerative brake works.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE
This brake system has 3 independent hy-
draulic circuits. If any circuit should fail,
the other will still work. However, the ped-
al will be harder to press, and your stop-
ping distance will increase. Also, the
brake system warning light may come on.CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle if any hy-
draulic circuit has failed. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
BRAKE ACTUATOR
The brake actuator uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump to power −assist the
brakes. If the brake actuator fails during
driving, the brake system warning light
comes on and the buzzer sounds continu-
ously. In this case, the brakes may not
work properly. If they do not work well,
depress the brake pedal firmly. If the
brake system warning light comes on, im-
mediately stop your vehicle and contact
your Toyota dealer.
The red and yellow brake system warning
lights may stay on for about 60 seconds
after the hybrid system is turned on. It is
normal if the light turns off after a while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the red warning light and
buzzer. It is normal if the light turns off
after a few seconds. In the following conditions, you may hear
a sound in the engine compartment. This
is not a malfunction.
The driver ’s door is opened with the
hybrid system turned off.
The brake pedal is depressed with the
hybrid system turned off.
After the hybrid system is turned on.
The brake pedal is depressed repeated-
ly with the hybrid system turned on.
After the hybrid system is turned off.
The brake pedal may be hard to depress
or the brake pedal stroke may be short
before turning the hybrid system on. This
is not a malfunction.

CAUTION
Do not pump the brake pedal if the
hybrid system is not operating.
Each push on the pedal uses up
your reserved brake fluid pressure.
Even if the power assist is com-
pletely lost, the brakes will still
work. But you will have to push the
pedal hard, much harder than nor-
mal. And your braking distance will
increase.
DRUM IN DISC TYPE PARKING BRAKE
SYSTEM
Your vehicle has a drum−in −disc type
parking brake system. This type of brake
system n eeds bedding −down of the brake
shoes periodically or whenever the parking
brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding− down. Driving conditions where the steering
wheel must be turned frequently may
cause an overload to the electric power
steering system. The system will reduce
assistance for sometime to prevent the
power steering from overheating. In this
case, you may feel some resistance when
turning the steering wheel though it is not
a malfunction.
CAUTION
If the “P/S” warning light comes on,
take your vehicle to the Toyota dealer
as soon as possible. In this case, you
may feel the heavy steering wheel
maneuvering. Drive your vehicle while
gripping the steering wheel firmly.
The brake pad wear limit indicators on
your disc brakes give a warning noise
when the brake pads are worn to where
replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary.

1. Check the area around the vehicle be-fore getting in.
2. Adjust seat position, seatback angle, seat cushion angle, seat height, head
restraint height and steering wheel
angle.
3. Adjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.
4. Lock all side doors and back door.
5. Fasten seat belts.
When you get in the vehicle, check
whether the “READY” light is on or
not.
CAUTION
Your vehicle does not produce any
noise or vibration when the vehicle is
ready to be driven with the “READY”
indicator light on. Move your foot
carefully from the brake pedal to the
acceleration pedal when driving.
1. Apply the parking brake firmly.
2. Turn off unnecessary lights and acces- sories.
3. Put the selector lever in “P”.
4. Depress the brake pedal and hold it to the floor until driving off.
As the hybrid system can be started only
with the transmission in the “P” position,
put the selector lever in “P” whenever
starting the system.
PUSH BUTTON START FUNCTION
The hybrid system can be started by
pressing the “POWER” switch.
Before starting the hybrid system, be sure
to follow the instructions in “(a) Before
starting”.
Starting procedure
With your foot off the accelerator pedal,
press the “POWER” switch briefly and
firmly. The “READY” light starts flashing
and then it stays on with sounding a
beep. If the ambient temperature is low,
such as during winter driving conditions,
it may take longer than the usual amount
of time until the “READY” light stays on.
