FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Transmission
1 The “POWER”/ignition switch must be “ON” and the brake pedal depressed to
shift from Park.
2 The engine brake is the equivalent of downshifting. Shift to “B” when engine
braking is desired (e.g. downhill driving, coasting to a stop).
Eco Mode

Eco Mode helps achieve low fuel consumption during trips that involve frequent
accelerating and braking.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Starting the Hybrid System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
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 or the Display Audio System.
Tips for improved fuel economy
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in two different modes, or
turned OFF.
-Doors lock when shifting from Park.
-Doors lock when the vehicle speed is approximately 12 mph or higher.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
Vehicles without Smart Key system
-Doors unlock when the ignition switch is set from “ON” to “ACC” or “LOCK” and
driver’s door is opened.
Vehicles with Smart Key system
-Doors unlock when the “POWER” switch is set to OFF and driver’s door is opened.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2) Vehicles with Smart Key system:
Depress

the brake pedal, and press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
Veh

icles without Smart Key system:
Depress

the brake pedal, and turn the key to the “START” position.
(3) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains




steady

and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
If belt is fully extended, then retracted even slightly, it cannot be re-extended
beyond that point, unless fully retracted again. This feature is used to help hold
child restraint systems securely.
To find more information about seat belts, and how to install a child restraint
system, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

the indicator blinks three times.
2. Wait a few minutes to allow initialization to complete.
After adjusting tire pressures, or after tires have been rotated or replaced,
turn the “POWER”/ignition switch “ON” 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 Manual for tire inflation
specifications.

If the

tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
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 initialized
recently, setting the tire pressures to factory specifications should turn off the
light.* Jack handle, wheel nut wrench and towing eyelet
