Accessories, spare parts and
modification of your Toyota
A wide variety of non −genuine spare parts and accessories
for Toyota vehicles are currently available in the market.
You should know that Toyota does not warrant these prod-
ucts and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or
replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or
adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non −genuine
Toyota products. Modification with non −genuine Toyota
products could affect its performance, safety or durability,
and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-
tion, damage or performance problems resulting from the
modification may not be covered under warranty.

Smart key system
Users of any electrical medical devices such as im-
planted pacemakers should consult the manufacturer of
the device for information about its operation under the
influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex-
pected effects on the operation of such medical devices.
For details, see “Keys” on page 22 in Section 1−2.
Tires and loading on your
To y o t a
Underinflated or overinflated tire pressure and the
excess load may result in the deterioration of
steering ability and braking ability, leading to an
accident. Check the tire inflation pressure periodi-
cally and be sure to keep the load limits given in
this Owner ’s Manual. For details about tire inflation
pressure and load limits, see pages 359 and 295.
Leak detection pump
This pump performs fuel evaporation leakage check. This
check is done approximately five hours after the hybrid
system is turned off. So you may hear s ound coming from
underneath the trunk for several minutes. It does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
Hybrid battery
The hybrid battery has a limited service life. Call your
Toyota dealer or a qualified service shop for information
about re cycling or disposal of the battery.

Toyota hybrid system combines the
power of an engine and a traction mo-
tor to minimize fuel consumption and
emissions.
Depending on driving conditions, the ve-
hicle runs optimally on a combination of
the engine and traction motor.
Since the engine charges the hybrid bat-
tery as needed, the battery does not have
to be charged from an outside source like
an electric vehicle.In your hybrid vehicle, there are several
indicators that show different aspects
of fuel consumption:
Instrument cluster indicators
1. Current fuel consumption (fuel economy
meter):
See “Fuel economy meter” in Section
1−6 on page 133.
2. Average fuel consumption after refuel- ing (“TANK AVG”):
See “—Outside temperature and cruise
information” in Section 1 −6 on page
135.
3. Average fuel consumption after the hy- brid system is turned on (“ECO DRIVE
LEVEL”):
See “—Outside temperature and cruise
information” in Section 1 −6 on page
135.

Navigation system indicators (models with
navigation system only)
1. Transition of fuel consumption in thepast 30 minutes (“Consumption”):
See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255.
2. Best fuel economy (lowest fuel con- sumption) among average (“Best”):
See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255.
3. Average fuel consumption (“Average”): See “Trip information (with navigation
system)” in Section 1 −10 on page 255. Toyota hybrid system performs various
controls depending on the operating
condition. The condition appears on the
multiinformation display and/or naviga-
tion system screen (with navigation
system) when the display and/or screen
is in “Energy Monitor” mode. See
“—Outside temperature and cruise in-
formation” on page 135 in Section 16
and “Trip information” on page 255 in
Section 110 for the operation of the
display and screen.
These are representative examples of
energy monitor displays. Depending on
the condition, the energy monitor dis-
plays the graphics different from those
shown below. Depending on conditions,
the graphic does not reflect the actual
motion of the vehicle.

Drive your vehicle with smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for effi-
cient use, do not accelerate or deceler-
ate your vehicle more than necessary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
The power of the hybrid battery can be
checked on the multi−information dis-
play or the navigation system screen
(with navigation system). See “—Hybrid
battery status” on page 5 for details.
Gradual or non −abrupt acceleration and
deceleration will make more effectively
use of the traction motor without hav-
ing to use engine power. When parking, be sure to put the trans-
mission into the “P” position. While
driving, put the transmission into the
“D” position.
In the “N” position, the engine operates
but electricity cannot be generated. The
hybrid battery will be discharged requir-
ing unnecessary engine power to re-
charge.
The hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid battery when the
remaining battery power is reduced.
However, the hybrid battery cannot be
recharged if the transmission is in the
“N” position.
For detailed information, see “How to save
fuel and make your vehicle last longer” on
page 311 in Section 3.
INFORMATION
The engine starts and stops automati-
cally. (It stops during a low load driv-
ing, deceleration or when the vehicle
is stopped.)
As long as the “READY” light remains
on, you can start your vehicle using
the traction motor even with the en-
gine stopped.
The engine may not stop automatical-
ly in the following conditions:
 During engine warmup
 During hybrid battery charging
 During low or high hybrid battery
temperature

vehicle

CAUTION
Pull your vehicle off the road, put
the transmission in the “P” posi-
tion, apply the parking brake, turn
the hybrid system off and carry the
key.
In order to avoid death or serious
injury, do not touch high voltage
wiring, connectors or high voltage
parts (inverter unit, hybrid battery
and etc.). High voltage parts and
cables are indicated in the illustra-
tion on page 7.
If exposed electric wires are pro-
truding inside or outside of your
vehicle, an electric shock may oc-
cur. Never touch the electric wires.
If fluid leaks or gets into some
parts of the vehicle, never touch it
because it may be strong alkaline
electrolyte from the hybrid battery.
If it contacts your skin or eyes,
wash it off immediately with a large
amount of water or if possible, bo-
ric acid solution. Get immediate
medical attention in order to help
avoid serious injury.
If a fire occurs in the hybrid ve-
hicle, leave the vehicle as soon as
possible. Never use a fire extin-
guisher that is not meant for elec-
tric fires. Using a small amount of
water may be also dangerous.
If your vehicle needs to be towed,
do it with the front wheels raised.
If the wheels with the motor gener-
ator are on the ground when tow-
ing, the motor may continue to gen-
erate electricity. This may cause the
electricity leakage. Depending on
the severity of the damage, electric-
ity leakage may cause fire. See “If
your vehicle needs to be towed” on
page 327 in Section 4.
The emergency shut off system blocks
off the high voltage current and stops
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of
the electric leakage and the fuel leak-
age when a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor. If the
system activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the hybrid system,
contact a Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Check to see if there are exposed
high voltage parts and cables. Nev-
er touch the parts and cables. See
“—High voltage components” on
page 7 in this Section for the loca-
tions of the high voltage parts and
cables.
Inspect the ground under the ve-
hicle. If you find that liquid has
leaked onto the ground, the fuel
system may have been damaged.
Leave the vehicle as soon as pos-
sible.
