ly while pressing the “POWER” switch.
(K) The “POWER” switch flashes amber once every 2 seconds.
When the message “CHECK S/T LOCK”
appears on the multi −information display—
This indicates a problem with the steering
lock function. Have your vehicle checked
at your Toyota dealer.
When no message appears on the multi −
information display—
This indicates a problem with the push
button start function. Have your vehicle
checked at your Toyota dealer. THEFT PREVENTION FUNCTION
When the hybrid system is turned off,
the engine immobilizer system is auto-
matically set. (See “Engine immobilizer
system” on page 24 in Section 1
−2.)
When the driver ’s door is opened after
turning off the hybrid system, the steer-
ing wheel will lock.
When the 12 volt battery is discharged,
the steering lock function may not op-
erate properly.
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.
This will allow you much better control.
Drive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-
sible, at a right angle. Avoid driving
onto high, sharp− edged objects and
other road hazards. Failure to do so
can lead to severe tire damage such
as a tire burst.
Drive slowly when passing over bumps
or travelling on a bumpy road. Other-
wise, the impact could cause severe
damage to the tires and/or wheels.
When parking on a hill, turn the front
wheels until they touch the curb so
that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the
parking brake, and place the transmis-
sion in “P”. If necessary, block the
wheels.
Tips for driving in various
conditions

Make sure your coolant is properly pro-
tected against freezing.
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant”
or similar high quality ethylene glycol
based non−silicate, non −amine, non− nitrite,
and non− borate coolant with long −life
hybrid organic acid technology. (Coolant
with long −life hybrid organic acid
technology is a combination of low
phosphates and organic acids.)
See “Checking the coolant level” on page
357 in Section 7 −2 for details of coolant
type selection.
For the U.S.A.—“Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and
50% deionized water. This coolant pro-
vides protection down to about −35 C
( − 31 F).
For Canada—“Toyota Super Long Life
Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and
45% deionized water. This coolant pro-
vides protection down to about −42 C
( − 44 F).
NOTICE
Do not use plain water alone.
Check the condition of the 12 volt bat-
tery and cables.
Cold temperatures lower the performance
of the 12 volt battery, so it must be in top
shape to provide enough power for winter
starting. Section 7 −3 tells you how to
visually inspect the 12 volt battery. Your
Toyota dealer and most service stations
will be pleased to check the level of
charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity is
suitable for the cold weather.
See page 356 in Sec t i on 7 −2 for recom-
mended viscosity. Leaving a heavy sum-
mer oil in your vehicle during winter
months may cause harder starting. If you
are not sure about which oil to use, call
your Toyota dealer—they will be pleased
to help.
Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de −icer or glycerine into the
locks to keep them from freezing. Use a washer fluid containing an anti-
freeze solution.
This product is available at your Toyota
dealer and most auto parts stores. Follow
the manufacturer ’s directions for how
much to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or any
other substitute because it may dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.
Do not use your parking brake when
there is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the transmission into
“P” and block the rear wheels. Do not use
the parking brake, or snow or water accu-
mulated in and around the parking brake
mechanism may freeze, making it hard to
release.
Keep ice and snow from accumulating
under the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenders
can make steering difficult. During bad
winter driving, stop and check under the
fenders occasionally.

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.

You can purchase a new electronic key
at your Toyota dealer if you can give
them the key number and master key.
If you lose any of your keys, contact your
Toyota dealer to have new keys made.
Lost keys increase the danger of vehicle
theft. Bring all of the remaining vehicle
keys when you visit your Toyota dealer.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on
page 22 in Section 1−2.
You can use the wireless remote control
function and smart entry and start function
by new key. Contact your Toyota dealer
for detailed information.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and
you cannot get a duplicate, many Toyota
dealers can still open the door for you,
using their special tools. If you must
break a window to get in, we suggest
breaking the smallest side window be-
cause it is the least expensive to replace.
Be extremely cautious to avoid cuts from
the glass.

In a safe place, check that the brakes do
not pull to one side when applied. Parking brake
Check that the pedal has the proper travel
and that, on a safe incline, your vehicle
is held securely with only the parking
brake applied.
Transmission “Park” mechanism

lector lever for proper and smooth opera-
tion. On a safe incline, check that your
vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in “P” position and all brakes re-
leased.
OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE
Items listed below should be performed
from time to time, unless otherwise
