If the “M” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the multi-mode manual transmission sys-
tem. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in E.)
If the “N” indicator is flashing
When shifting the shift lever
Shift the shift lever to N. Wait a few seconds and shift the shift lever to the
desired position.
When the engine is turned off
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: Turn the engine switch to
the “ON” position. Depress the brake pedal and shift the shift lever to N,
and then to the desired position.
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: Turn the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode. Depress the brake pedal and shift
the shift lever to N, and then to the desired position.
If the indicator still flashes after the above operations, shift the shift lever to
N and start the engine. Then, shift the shift lever to the desired position.
If the “N” indicator is flashing and warning buzzer is beeping

Hybrid System Indicator
By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driv-
ing can be achieved.
Charge area indicates regeneration
* status. Regenerated energy will be
used to charge the battery.
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Power area
Shows that the driving power is more
than the upper limit of Eco driving.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is driven Eco-
friendly.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is driven in a
condition that promotes frequent
motor-only operation. (When the vehi-
cle is operating with low driving load,
such as when driving slowly, using
Hybrid Eco area leads Eco-friendly
driving.)
Charge area
Shows regenerative charging.
