(l) Master Warning Light
If the master warning light comes on, a
message appears on the multi−information
display. Depending on the conditions a
warning tone may sound.
(m) Parking Brake Reminder Buzzer
The buzzer acts once when the parking
brake is not completely released at the
vehicle speed of 5 km/h (3 mph) or more.
Stop the vehicle and release the parking
brake fully. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER
INDICATORS (except the low fuel level
warning light)
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Open one of the doors. The open door warning light should
come on.
3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go
off.
4. With your foot off the brake pedal, press the “POWER” switch and set it
at ON.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the open door warning light should

(b) Normal driving1. Start the hybrid system as instructed in “How to start the hybrid system” on
page 301 in Section 3. The transmis-
sion must be in “P”.
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
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
Always use the brake pedal or the
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.
NOTICE
Never shift into reverse while the ve-
hicle is moving.
(e) Parking
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.
CAUTION
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into “P” position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.

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.

Do not insert anything into the driv-
er’s side vent, attach anything to it,
or use sprays around the driver ’s side
vent. These things may cause the sys-
tem not to work properly.

“ECO HEAT/COOL” switch
Push the “ECO HEAT/COOL” switch to
select the “ECO HEAT/COOL” (economi-
cal) mode of the air conditioning. The indi-
cator on the switch comes on and “ECO”
appears on the air conditioning display to
indicate that the mode is on.
The efficiency of the air conditioning is
limited because the consumption of elec-
tricity is reduced, achieving a reduction of
fuel consumption. As a result, it may take
longer than the usual amount of time for
the inside air temperature to reach the set
temperature. The “ECO HEAT/COOL” mode is canceled
in the following cases:
The temperature control is set at “LO”
(the lowest temperature) or “HI” (the
highest temperature).
The air flow is set in the floor/wind-
shield mode or windshield mode.
“ECO HEAT/COOL” switch is pushed
again.

When the vehicle is refueled, the driving
range is recalculated.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel consumption
is poor, the driving range will be shorter
than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further.5. Average fuel consumption (“Average”)
Average fuel consumption is displayed
based on total driving distance and to-
tal fuel consumption.
The calculation is reset by touching the
“Reset”. If the average fuel consumption
is the lowest, the value of the best fuel
economy among average is overwritten.

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.
