Driving
With the shift position in D, depress the brake pedal.
Set the parking brake. (→P. 228)
Shift the shift position to P. ( →P. 221)
If parking on a hill, block the wheels as needed.
Press the power switch off to stop the hybrid system.
Lock the door, making sure that you have the key on your person.
Firmly set the parking brake and then shift the shift position to D.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.

■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( →P. 305)
■ For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicle are similar to conventional vehicles. And it is
necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. ( →P. 311)
■ Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■ Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
●For the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 800 km (500 miles) (vehicles with towing package):
Do not tow a trailer.
● For the first 2000 km (1200 miles):

Types of sensors
Toyota parking assist-sensor∗
∗: If equipped
Vehicles without a navigation/multimedia system:
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
Vehicles with a navigation/multimedia system:
Refer to the “Navigation and multimedia system Owner’s man-
ual”.

■The Toyota parking assist-sensor can be operated when
The power switch is in ON mode.
●Front sensors:
• The shift position is shifted to a position other than P.
• The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
(At any speed when the shift position is in R)
● Rear sensors:
The shift position is in R.
■ Sensor detection information
●Certain vehicle conditions and the su rrounding environment may affect the
ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where
this may occur are listed below.
• There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor.
• A sensor is frozen.
• A sensor is covered in any way.
• The vehicle is leaning considerably to one side.
• On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
• The vicinity of the vehicle is noisy due to vehicle horns, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehicles, or other loud noises producing ultra-
sonic waves.
• There is another vehicle equipped with parking assist sensors in the
vicinity.
• A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
• The vehicle is equipped with a fender pole or wireless antenna.
• Towing eyelet is installed.
• A bumper or sensor receives a strong impact.
• The vehicle is approaching a tall or curved curb.
• In harsh sunlight or intense cold weather.
• A non-genuine Toyota suspension (lowered suspension etc.) is installed.
In addition to the examples above, there are instances in which, because of
their shapes, signs and other objects may be judged by the sensor to be
closer than they are.
● The shape of the obstacle may prevent the sensor from detecting it. Pay
particular attention to the following obstacles:
• Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
• Cotton, snow and other materials that absorb sound waves
• Sharply-angled objects
• Low obstacles
• Tall obstacles with upper sections projecting outwards in the direction of
your vehicle
