Low fuel level
warning light
The gauge indicates the approximate
quantity of fuel remaining in the tank
when the ignition switch is on.
Nearly full—Needle at “F”
Nearly empty—Needle at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.
The needle moves when braking, acceler-
ating or making turns. This is caused by
the movement of the fuel in the tank.
If the fuel level approaches “E” or the low
fuel level warning light comes on, fill the
fuel tank as soon as possible.On inclines or curves, due to the move-
ment of fuel in the tank, the fuel gauge
needle may fluctuate or the low fuel level
warning light may come on earlier than
usual.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.The gauge indicates the engine coolant
temperature when the ignition switch is
on. The engine operating temperature
will vary with changes in weather and
engine load.
If the needle moves into the red zone,
your engine is too hot. If your vehicle
overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the
engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.

(a) Brake System Warning Lights
These lights come on in the following
cases when the ignition key is in the “ON”
position.
RED WARNING LIGHT
When the parking brake is applied...
This light comes on when the ignition is
turned on, even after the parking brake is
released. When the vehicle speed exceeds
5 km/h (3 mph), a message “PARK
BRAKE” appears on the multi −information
display, the master warning light flashes
and a warning tone sounds.
When the brake fluid level is low...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level is
low.
YELLOW WARNING LIGHT
When the regenerative brake system
or electronically controlled brake
system fails...
When the yellow warning light comes on,
the regenerative brake system and/or elec-
tronically controlled brake system is mal-
functioning. Take your vehicle to your
Toyota dealer.
RED AND YELLOW WARNING LIGHT
When the hydraulic brake system
fails...
If the red and yellow warning lights come
on, it indicates a serious problem and you
can continue driving no longer.
Have your vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer in the following cases:
The lights do not come on even if the
parking brake is applied when the hy-
brid system is on.
The lights do not come on when the
ignition is turned on with the parking
brake released.
A red or yellow warning light turning on
briefly during operation does not indicate
a problem.
CAUTION
If any of the following conditions oc-
curs, immediately stop your vehicle at
a safe place and contact your Toyota
dealer.
The red warning light does not turn
off even after the parking brake is
released with the hybrid system
turned on.
The red warning light stays on.
In either case, this can indicate that
the brakes may not work properly and
your stopping distance will become
longer. Depress the brake pedal firmly
and bring the vehicle to an immediate
stop.
The red brake system warning light
remains on together with the “ABS”
warning light and “CHECK VSC
SYSTEM” warning message.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system and vehicle stability
control system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
