CAUTION
Push and pull the child restraint sys-
tem in different directions to be sure
it is secure. Follow all the installation
instructions provided by its manufac-
turer.
7. Put a child on the child restraint sys-tem and secure the child, complying
with the instructions provided by the
child restraint system manufacturer.
The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light should
be illuminated when the “POWER” switch
is set at ON and the child is in the child
restraint system after following these pro-
cedures. The “AIRBAG OFF” indicator light
indicates the SRS front passenger airbag
and side airbag on the passenger side will
not deploy. If the “AIRBAG ON” indicator
light is illuminated, remove the child re-
straint system and reinstall it with the hy-
brid system turned off. If the “AIRBAG
ON” indicator light is illuminated when the
“POWER” switch is set at ON, then the
SRS front passenger airbag and side air-
bag on the passenger side may deploy in
an accident. Do not drive the vehicle in
this condition. Remove the child restraint
system and contact your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat. A forwardfacing child re-
straint system should only be
installed on the front passenger
seat when unavoidable. If you must
install the child restraint system on
the front passenger seat, put the
seat in its most rearward position,
and install the forwardfacing child
restraint system in the proper or-
der. Otherwise, the front passenger
occupant classification system can
not detect the presence of the child
restraint system and the front pas-
senger airbag and side airbag on
the front passenger seat could
deploy, and the impact could cause
death or serious injury to the child.
Never install a rearfacing child re-
straint system on the front passen-
ger seat even if the “AIRBAG OFF”
indicator light is illuminated. In the
event of an accident, the impact of
the rapid inflation of the front pas-
senger airbag could cause death or
serious injury to the child if the
rearfacing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat.

tem on the rear seat if it interferes
with the lock mechanism of the
front seats. Otherwise, the child or
front seat occupant(s) may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.

page 301 in Section 3. The transmis-
sion must be in “P”.

tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the hybrid
system on. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTICE

parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(c) Using engine braking
To use engine braking intentionally, shift
the selector lever to the “B” position and
take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
During high speed driving you may feel
that engine braking is less effective than
that of conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the
transmission in “B” for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel econo-
my.
CAUTION
Be careful when using engine braking
on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
(d) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the selector lever to the
“R” position.

1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-
tion.
When turning the hybrid system off, put
the transmission in the “P” position.

lever into “P” position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.
