(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and “ ” will be displayed on the multi-information
display.
(3) Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
(4) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains steady and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.
Starting the Hybrid System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline eng\
ine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for t\
he
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel
economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the multi-information display and/or navigation system
screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking ener\
gy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

System reset initialization
1. Push and hold “SET” button
until the indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow initialization to complete.

Tire Pressure Monitoring (warning)
System
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced,\
turn
the POWER switch to “ON” mode, and press and hold the “ SET” button until
indicator blinks three times. Let the vehicle sit for a few minutes to allow
initialization to complete.
Refer to the load label on the door jamb or the Owner’s Manualfor tire inflation
specifications.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then r\
emains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
NOTE : The warning light may come on due to temperature changes or changes in
tire pressure from natural air leakage. If the system has not been initializ\
ed
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off th\
e
light.

Star Safety SystemTM
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine powe\
r and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling\
.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC red\
uces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction
and vehicle control.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Brake Assist (BA)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by "pulsing" brake pressure to eac\
h
wheel. This limits brake lockup and provides the maximum brake effectiveness for
the current road conditions.
Toyota's ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup by
"pulsing" each wheel's brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the maximum
traction that the current road conditions will allow, helping you stay in control.
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add bra\
king
pressure to decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than
just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine powe\
r, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help you drive safely.
Traction Control (TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain stability and balance when braking. Abrupt stops cause the vehicle to tilt
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden
stops by redistributing brake force to maximize the braking effectiveness of \
all
four wheels.
SAFETY AND EMERGENCYFEATURES
All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart
Stop Technology (SST).
