Before making these checks, make sure
you have sufficient fuel and that you have
followed the correct starting procedure giv-
en in “How to start the hybrid system” on
page 301 in Section 3. If your vehicle is
equipped with the engine immobilizer sys-
tem, also check whether the other keys
will start the hybrid system. If they work,
your key may be broken. Have the key
checked at your Toyota dealer. If none of
your keys work, there may be a malfunc-
tion in the immobilizer system. Call your
Toyota dealer. (See “Keys” on page 22 in
Section 1−2.) If the instrument cluster displays with
normal brightness levels with the
“POWER” switch set at ON...
You may try emergency start. See “(b)
Emergency start” for further instructions.
If the instrument cluster dims or the
instrument cluster display turns off
with the “POWER” switch set at ON...
1. Check that the 12 volt battery terminals are tight and clean.
2. If the 12 volt battery terminals are O.K., the 12 volt battery is discharged.
You may try jump starting. See “(c)
Jump starting” that follows for further
instructions.
NOTICE
Hybrid vehicles cannot be push
started.
When the hybrid system cannot be
started, the following procedure can be
used if the hybrid system and “POWER”
switch function normally.
1. Put the transmission in “P”.
2. Set the mode to ACC by pushing the “POWER” switch once.
3. Push and hold the “POWER” switch for about 15 seconds while depressing the
brake pedal firmly.
Even if the hybrid system can be started
using the above procedure, the system
may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer.
If the hybrid system cannot be started
using the above procedure, immediately
contact your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Do not place any objects close to the
“POWER” switch. If the object pushes
on the switch, the hybrid system may
be started unexpectedly.

If your hybrid system stalls while driving...1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cautiously off the
road to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Set the “POWER” switch at ACC or off, and try starting the hybrid system
again.
If the hybrid system will not start, see “If
your vehicle will not start” on page 313 in
this Section.
CAUTION
If the hybrid system is not operat-
ing, the power assist for the brakes
and steering will not work so steer-
ing and braking will be much hard-
er than usual.
If the hybrid system stalls while
driving, do not open the driver’s
door until the vehicle comes to a
complete stop. Opening the driver’s
door locks the steering wheel, re-
sulting in loss of steering control.
Any of the following may indicate that
the hybrid system has overheated:
The engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating.
The message “WATER TEMP” or
“HYBRID SYSTEM OVER HEAT” ap-
pears on the multiinformation dis-
play.
A loss of power is experienced.
A loud knocking or pinging noise is
heard.
If the hybrid system overheats, follow
the procedures below:
1. Pull safely off the road, stop the ve- hicle and turn on your emergency
flashers. Put the transmission in “P”
and apply the parking brake. Turn off
the air conditioning if it is being used.
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of the radiator or reservoir, stop the hybrid
system. Wait until the steam subsides
before opening the hood. If there is no
coolant boiling over or steam, leave the
hybrid system turned on and make
sure the electric cooling fan is operat-
ing. If it is not, turn the hybrid system
off.
CAUTION
To help avoid personal injury, keep
the hood closed until there is no
steam. Escaping steam or coolant is
a sign of very high pressure.
3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from theradiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.
However, note that water draining from
the air conditioning is normal if it has
been used.
CAUTION
When the hybrid system is on, keep
hands and clothing away from the
moving fan.
4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the hy-
brid system immediately. Call a Toyota
dealer for assistance.
5. If there are no obvious leaks, check the coolant reservoir. If it is dry, add
coolant to the reservoir while the hy-
brid system is on. Fill it about half full.
For the coolant type, see “Coolant type
selection” on page 357 in Section 7 −2.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the hybrid system and ra-
diator are hot. Serious injury could
result from scalding hot fluid and
steam blown out under pressure.
6. After the coolant temperature hascooled to normal, again check the cool-
ant level in the reservoir. If necessary,
bring it up to half full again. Serious
coolant loss indicates a leak in the
system. You s hould have it checked as
soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid
stopping on the center divider of
a highway. Park on a level spot
with firm ground.
2. Stop the hybrid system and turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P”.
4. Have everyone get out of the ve- hicle on the side away from traffic.
5. Read the following instructions thoroughly.CAUTION
When jacking, be sure to observe
the following to reduce the possi-
bility of death or serious injury:
Follow jacking instructions.
 Do not put any part of your
body under the vehicle sup-
ported by the jack. Otherwise,
personal injury may occur.
 Do not start the hybrid system
while your vehicle is supported
by the jack.
 Stop the vehicle on a level firm
ground, firmly set the parking
brake and put the transmission
in “P”. Block the wheel diago-
nally opposite to the one being
changed if necessary.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.

If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Toyota
dealer or a commercial tow truck ser-
vice. In consultation with them, have
your vehicle towed using either (a) or
(b).
Proper equipment will help ensure that
your vehicle is not damaged while being
towed. Commercial operators are generally
aware of the state/provincial and local
laws pertaining to towing.
Your vehicle can be damaged if it is
towed incorrectly. Although most operators
know the correct procedure, it is possible
to make a mistake. To avoid damage to
your vehicle, make sure the following pre-
cautions are observed. If necessary, show
this page to the tow truck driver.
CAUTION
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do
it with the front wheels raised. If the
wheels with the motor generator are
on the ground when towing, the mo-
tor may continue to generate electrici-
ty. This may cause the electricity lea-
kage. Depending on the severity of
the damage, electricity leakage may
cause fire.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Use a safety chain system for all towing,
and abide by the state/provincial and local
laws. The wheels and axle on the ground
must be in good condition. If they are
damaged, use a towing dolly.
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck
NOTICE
When lifting wheels, take care to en-
sure adequate ground clearance for
towing at the opposite end of the
raised vehicle. Otherwise, the bumper
and/or underbody of the towed vehicle
will be damaged during towing.
From front—Release the parking brake.
From rear—
Use a towing dolly under the front wheels.
NOTICE
Never tow a vehicle from the rear
with the front wheels on the ground,
as this may cause serious damage to
the transmission.
