When driving
■
Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than an hour with the
shift position in P, the “POWER” switch will automatically turn off.
■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a electric vehicle
P. 3 0
■ Electronic key battery depletion
P. 106
■ Auto P position function
●If the “POWER” switch is pressed while the EV system is operating and
the vehicle is at a complete stop, the “POWER” switch will be turned to
OFF, then the shift position will be automatically switched to P.
When turning the “POWER” switch to off while the shift position is not set
to P, operate the “POWER” switch while pushing down fully on the brake
pedal. Then, release the brake pedal after confirming that the shift posi-
tion indicator on the instrument cluster shows P.
● If the auto P position function is malfunctioning, it may not be possible to
turn the “POWER” switch to off. In this event, the “POWER” switch can
be turned to off after applying the parking brake.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ When the ambient temperature is low, such as during winter driving
conditions
Driving power may be limited due to traction battery temperature being low.
Follow the instructions on the meter display. If the vehicle has been parked
for a long time in low ambient temperatures, it may be necessary to plug in
the vehicle to warm-up and charge the traction battery before driving.
■ When the P position cont rol system malfunctions
The “POWER” switch will not be able to be turned off. In such a case, the
switch can be turned off after applying the parking brake.
Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.

●While depressing the brake pedal firmly, operate the shift lever.
If the shift lever is operated wi thout depressing the brake pedal,
the buzzer will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled.

When driving
■
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
position is in R.
■ Automatically P position selection function
When the “POWER” switch is in ON mode while the shift position is in a
position other than P and the vehicle is stopped completely, pressing the
“POWER” switch will cause the automatic P position selection function to
operate together with the “POWER” switch being turned to off.
■ If the shift position cannot be shifted from P
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt
battery in this situation. ( P. 470)
■ Using regenerative braking
When shift position D or B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will
apply regenerative braking.
The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the brake pedal is depressed very quickly after the accelerator pedal is
released, the amount of regenerated energy displayed on the EV system
indicator ( P. 221) may be less than expected. This is not a malfunction,
and will probably not feel any different than usual. The amount of regener-
ated energy will return to expected when the brake pedal is released and
depressed again.
■ If the system malfunctions
The following situations indicate a problem with the system.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer.
●All frames of the shift position indicators in the instrument cluster flash.
● The parking system error message appears on the multi-information dis-
play.
● The instrument cluster does not come on when the “POWER” switch is in
ON mode.
