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 324 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 (with engine
immobilizer system)” on page 22 in Sec-
tion 1−2.)
If the instrument cluster dims or the
instrument cluster display turns off
with the ignition 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 “(b)
Jump starting” on page 338 for further
instructions.
NOTICE
Hybrid vehicles cannot be push
started.
If the instrument cluster displays with
normal brightness levels with the igni-
tion on...
The hybrid system may be faulty. Contact
your Toyota dealer. If the 12 volt battery is discharged, the
hybrid system can be started by jump
starting. Depending on the vehicle con-
dition, however, the hybrid system may
not start.
To avoid serious injury and damage to
your vehicle which might result from an
explosion of the battery, acid burns,
electrical burns, or damaged electronic
components, follow instructions careful-
ly.
If you are unsure about how to follow this
procedure, we strongly recommend that
you seek the help of a competent me-
chanic or towing service.
CAUTION
Batteries contain sulfuric acid
which is poisonous and corrosive.
Wear protective safety glasses when
jump starting, and avoid spilling
acid on your skin, clothing, or ve-
hicle.

battery with the jumper cables connected
for several minutes and restart the hybrid
system in the normal way.
If the another attempt is not successful,
the battery may be depleted. Have it ch-
ecked at your Toyota dealer.If your hybrid system stalls while driv-
ing...

3. Turn the ignition key to “ACC” or “LOCK”, and try starting the hybrid
system again.
If the hybrid system will not start, see “If
your vehicle will not start”.
CAUTION
When the hybrid system is not oper-
ating, the power assist for the brakes
and steering will not work, so steer-
ing and braking will be much more
difficult than usual.
Any of the following may indicate that
the hybrid system has overheated:
The engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates overheating.
A “WATER TEMP” warning message
appears on the multiinformation
display.
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 hybrid 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
ignition turned on and make sure the
electric cooling fan is operating. If it is
not, turn the ignition off.
