If the hybrid system does not start
The immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 107)
If the “READY” indicator does not come on
If the “READY” indicator does not come on when you press the “POWER”
switch with the shift position in P and the brake pedal pressed, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional immediately.
When the “POWER” switch indicator flashes in amber
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, immediately.
Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or ON mode (hybrid system is not oper-
ating) for more than an hour with the shift position in P, the “POWER” switch
will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-
volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the “POWER” switch in
ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods of time when the hybrid system
is not operating.
Operation of the “POWER” switch
When operating the “POWER” switch, one short, firm press is enough. If
the switch is pressed improperly, the hybrid system may not start or the
“POWER” switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and
hold the switch.
If an attempt is made to restart the hybrid system immediately after turn-
ing the “POWER” switch off, the hybrid system may not start in some
cases. After turning the “POWER” switch off, wait a few seconds before
restarting the hybrid system.
When leaving the vehicle
If the indicator on the “POWER” switch stays on, the “POWER” switch is not
yet off.
Turn the “POWER” switch off before you leave the vehicle.

Automatic P position selection function
When the shift position is other than P, pressing the “POWER” switch
with the vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to
change to P automatically, and then the “POWER” switch will turn off.
When turning the “POWER” switch off from a position other than P, firmly
depress the brake pedal and confirm that the shift position* has changed
to P before slowly releasing the brake pedal.
*: Even after the instrument panel display has been turned off, the shift
position indicator will continue to be displayed for several seconds.
If the P position control system malfunctions, the “POWER” switch will
not be able to be turned off. In such a case, the switch can be turned off
by applying the parking brake.
When the system malfunctions, immediately have your vehicle serviced
by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.
When the ambient temperature is low, such as during winter driving
conditions
It may take time until the “READY” indicator comes on.

Situations in which EV-Drive Mode cannot be turned on
The followings are examples of situations under which the EV-Drive Mode
may not be turned on. If it cannot be turned on, a buzzer will sound and a
message will be shown on the multi-information display.
The temperature of the hybrid system is high.
The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high
speeds, etc.
The temperature of the hybrid system is low.
The vehicle has been left in freezing temperatures for a long period of
time etc.
The gasoline engine is warming up.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) is low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the “Energy Monitor” display is
low. (P. 36)
Vehicle speed is high.
The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill etc.
The windshield defogger is in use.
Switching to EV-Drive Mode when the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is started while the gasoline engine is cold, the gasoline
engine will start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm
up. In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV-Drive Mode.
After the hybrid system has started and the “READY” indicator has illumi-
nated, press the “EV” switch before the gasoline engine starts to switch to
EV-Drive Mode.
Automatic cancellation of EV-Drive Mode
When driving in EV-Drive Mode, the gasoline engine may automatically
restart in the following situations. When EV-Drive Mode is canceled, a
buzzer will sound and the EV-Drive Mode indicator will flash and go off.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the “Energy Monitor” display is
low. (P. 36)
Vehicle speed becomes high.
The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill etc.

182 2-1. Driving procedures

Possible driving distance when driving in EV-Drive Mode
Possible driving distance when driving in EV-Drive Mode is up to about 1 km
(1/2 mile) if driven at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or less. (Possible
driving distance depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level and
driving conditions.)
Changing a driving mode when in EV-Drive Mode
EV-Drive Mode can be used in conjunction with Eco drive mode and power
mode.
However, EV-Drive Mode may be automatically canceled when used in con-
junction with power mode.
Fuel economy
Your Toyota is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during
normal driving (using the gasoline engine and electric motor [traction
motor]). Driving in EV-Drive Mode more than necessary may lower fuel
economy.
CAUTION
While driving
When driving in EV-Drive Mode, pay special attention to the area around the
vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicy-
cles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle
starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving.

Using engine braking
To use engine braking, select the B position.
During high speed driving, you may feel that deceleration by engine brak-
ing is less than that of a conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the transmission in B for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent this, use D for nor-
mal driving.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
lever is in R.
Eco drive mode
When the accelerator pedal is depressed in Eco drive mode, it may take
more time to accelerate than usual. This is normal operation.
Alarms
If the shift position is changed in any of the following situations, a buzzer will
sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will
automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When the shift lever is changed from P to another position without
depressing the brake pedal.
• When the shift position is changed from P or N to B.
Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pushed while the vehicle is moving.
• When shift position R is selected while the vehicle is moving forward.
• When shift position D is selected while the vehicle is moving in reverse.
• When the shift position is changed from R to B.
