5When trouble arises

122 2-1. Driving procedures
■For efficient use
●Put the shift lever into D when driving
In the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be
generated. The hybrid battery (traction battery) will be discharged requir-
ing unnecessary engine power to recharge.
● Drive your vehicle smoothly
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration will make more effective use of the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use gasoline engine power.
● Avoid repeated acceleration
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid battery (traction battery) power,
resulting in poor acceleration. Battery power can be restored by driving
with the accelerator pedal slightly released.
● Put the shift lever into P when parking
In the N position, the hybrid battery (traction battery) does not recharge.
Leaving the shift lever in N for an extended period of the time may dis-
charge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid battery is
discharged.
■ Normal characteristics after turning off the hybrid system
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is because a
fuel evaporation leakage check is performed. It does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.

126 2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
● Sudden changes in braking force, such as engine braking and regenera-
tive braking caused by shifting the shift lever to the B position, may cause
the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
● After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make
sure that the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in
an accident.
■ When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N the vehicle may accelerate
suddenly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space
and check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
● Always keep a foot on the brake pedal while the hybrid system is operating
to prevent an accident caused by the vehicle moving.

386 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Avoiding a discharged 12-volt battery
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the hybrid system is
turned off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■ When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●The hybrid system may not start. ( →P. 301)
● The tire pressure warning system must be initialized. ( →P. 305)
■ Starting the hybrid system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The hybrid system cannot be started by push-starting.
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the gaso-
line engine speed slightly and maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery of
your vehicle.
Open and close any of the doors with the “POWER” switch
OFF.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and turn
the “POWER” switch to ON mode, then start the hybrid sys-
tem.
Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator
does not comes on, contact your Toyota dealer.
Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
Once the hybrid system starts, ha ve the vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.STEP3
