Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Cruise control system
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

■
Indicators
The indicators inform the driver of the operating state of the
vehicle’s various systems.
*1: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON”
position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system) to
indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be
a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if the lights
do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
*2: The light flashes to indicate that the system is operating.

Eco driving conditions display
Driving conditions are displayed in 5 stages and divided into 3 categories:
start, cruise and stop. Every time the vehicle is stopped, the score is dis-
played. (Every time the vehicle is accelerated the score that was last dis-
played is reset. Accumulative scores are not calculated.)

■The clock is displayed when
Vehicles without a smart key system
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system
The “POWER” switch is in ON mode.
■ Eco score
●As the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the driven distance using
cruise control (if equipped) is not included in the eco score.
● As the eco score evaluation differs according to driving conditions and
environmental factors, in some cases it may not be linked to fuel con-
sumption.
■ Eco savings
●Fuel cost and savings should be used as a guide only.
● Depending on refueling methods, driving conditions and environmental
factors, the actual and displayed fuel costs may differ.
● In some cases, fuel cost and savings may not be linked to the eco score
evaluation.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The following information data will be reset:
● Clock
● Past record (aside from the top 3 results)
● Average fuel consumption
● Cruising range
● Average vehicle speed
● Driving time
● EV driving rate/EV driven distance
Additionally, some displays may return to their default settings.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
