For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please  note  that  this  manual  applies  to  all  models  and  explains  all  equip-
ment,  including  options.  Therefore,  you  may  find  some  explanations  for
equipment not installed on your vehicle. 
All  specifications  provided  in  this  manual  are  current  at  the  time  of  printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of color and equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the hybrid system
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota
A  wide  variety  of  non-genuine  spare  parts  and  accessories  for  Toyota  vehi-
cles are currently available in the market. You should know that Toyota does
not  warrant  these  products  and  is  not  responsible  for  their  performance,
repair,  or  replacement,  or  for  any  damage  they  may  cause  to,  or  adverse
effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products. Mod-
ification  with  non-genuine  Toyota  products  could  affect  its  performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addi-
tion,  damage  or  performance  problems  resulting  from  the  modification  may
not be covered under warranty.

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.

explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners  left  as  they  are,  this  may  cause  an  accident  such  as  fire.  Be
sure  to  have  the  systems  of  the  SRS  airbag  and  seat  belt  pretensioner
removed  and  disposed  of  by  a  qualified  service  shop  or  by  your  Toyota
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.

Plug-in hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following
points:
■Using EV mode and HV mode effectively
Primarily  using  EV  mode  when  driving  in  cities  and  using  HV
mode  when  driving  on  highways  (or  freeways)  can  help  con-
serve fuel and electricity. ( oP.   3 7 )
■Using Eco drive mode
When  using  Eco  drive  mode,  a  torque  corresponding  to  the
accelerator  pedal  depression  amount  can  be  generated  more
smoothly  than  it  is in  normal  conditions.  In  addition,  the  opera-
tion of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized, improving fuel and electricity economy. ( oP.   2 5 1 )
■Use of Hybrid System Indicator
Eco-friendly  driving  is  possible by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. ( oP.   2 7 3 )
■When braking the vehicle
Make  sure  to  operate  the  brakes  gently  and  in  good  time.  A
greater  amount  of  electrical energy  can  be  retained when slow-
ing down.
■Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic  lights,  will  lead  to  high fuel  and  electricity  consumption.
Check  traffic  reports  before  leaving  and  avoid  delays  as  much
as  possible.  When  encountering  a  delay,  gently  release  the
brake  pedal  to  allow  the  vehicle  to  move  forward  slightly  while
avoiding  overuse  of  the  accelerator  pedal.  Doing  so  can  help
control excessive electricity and fuel consumption.
