◆“Fuel Consumption Record”
The transitions of the average fuel consumption after the hybrid
system starts can be checked in such a unit as every 5 minutes or
every 1 mile (1.6 km)
*1 or 1 km (0.6 mile)*2 of driving. Also, it is
possible to check the average fu el consumption history for each
month by switching to the “Monthly” display.
*1: When the unit is set to “MPH”
*2: When the unit is set to “km/h”
■
How to read the screen
The “5 min” display is shown as an example. However, the basic
method for how to read the screen is the same for each fuel con-
sumption history screen.

■Types of “Fuel Consumption Record”
When the unit is set to “MPH”
*1: This record is reset each time the hybrid system stops.
*2: The maximum value of the graph can be switched in 3 levels (150 MPG,100 MPG and 50 MPG) by operating the or of the meter control
switches while the “Monthly” tab display is selected.
*3: The “Monthly” record can be reset on the “Meter Customize” settingsscreen. ( →P. 142)

◆“Eco Savings”
“Gasoline Price”
*1 and “COMP. Consumption” information is regis-
tered in the “Meter Customize” settings ( →P. 142), making it possi-
ble to display 2 types of information related to gasoline fuel
consumption.
“SAVINGS”
If information about the vehicle us ed to compare fuel consumption
(“COMP. Consumption”) is entered, when the fuel consumption of
this vehicle according to the mileage of the trip meter
*2 is greater
than that of the comparis on vehicle, an estimation
*3 of the amount
of the fuel cost savings is displayed.
“FUEL COST”
If information about the vehicle us ed to compare fuel consumption
(“COMP. Consumption”) is not entered, an estimation
*3 of the
amount of fuel cost savings is displayed according to the mileage of
the trip meter
*2.
*1: “Gasoline Price” is information necessary to display the “SAVINGS” and “FUEL COST” records.
*2: The display can be switched from the mileage history to the history bymonth. ( →P. 130)
*3: The displayed amount is only an estimate, and may differ from the
actual amount.

4-4. Refueling
Opening the fuel tank cap
●Close all the doors and windows, and turn the power switch off.
● Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
→P. 733
■ Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■ Gasoline price setting screen
After refueling more than approximately 1.3 gal. (5 L, 1.1 Imp.gal.) and turn-
ing the power switch to ON mode, the gasoline price setting screen will be
automatically displayed on the multi-information display. ( →P. 128)
The fuel tank of your vehicle has a special structure, which
requires a reduction in fuel tank pressure before refueling. After
the opener switch has been pressed, it will take several seconds
until the vehicle is ready for refueling.

7-1. Maintenance and care
■Caring for leather areas
Toyota recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a year to
maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■ Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a sponge
or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water.
Wipe dirty surfaces and let them dry. Excellent results are obtained by keep-
ing the carpet as dry as possible.
■ Seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
■ Cleaning the air intake vent
●If the vehicle is driven further after dust has built up and clogged the air
intake vent and filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will overheat,
reducing the driving range of the electric motor and worsening fuel econ-
omy. Periodically clean the air intake vent to keep dust from building up in
the air intake vent and filter.
● Improper handling may result in damage to the air intake vent cover. If you
have any concerns about cleaning the part yourself, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The necessary cleaning interval of the air intake vent will differ according to
the vehicle usage environment.
■ If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-information display
● If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual” is shown on the multi-information display, the air intake vent and fil-
ter may be clogged due to dust build-up. Refer to the cleaning procedure
and clean the air intake vent.
● If the vehicle is driven further while “Maintenance required for Traction bat-
tery cooling parts See owner’s manual” is shown on the multi-information
display, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may overheat, reducing the driv-
ing range, worsening fuel economy and causing damage. Periodically clean
the air intake vent to keep dust from building up in the air intake vent and fil-
ter.
● If the warning message continues to be shown on the multi-information dis-
play even after cleaning the air intake vent, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.

When trouble arises
8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the hybrid system will not start
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
●The electronic key may not be functioning properly.
* (→ P. 705)
● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle. ( →P. 84)
● There may be a malfunction in the immobilizer system.
* (→ P. 8 9 )
● There may be a malfunction in the shift control system.
*
( → P. 228, 669)
● The hybrid system may be malfunctioning due to an electrical prob-
lem such as electronic key battery depletion or a blown fuse. How-
ever, depending on the type of malfunction, an interim measure is
available to start the hybrid system. (→ P. 704)
● There is a possibility that the temperature of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is extremely low (approximately below -22°F
[-30°C]). ( →P. 84, 228)
*: It may not be possible to shift the shift position other than P.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
● The 12-volt battery may be discharged. ( →P. 708)
● The 12-volt battery terminal con nections may be loose or corroded.
( → P. 597)
Reasons for the hybrid system not starting vary depending on
the situation. Check the follo wing and perform the appropriate
procedure:
The hybrid system will not start even though the correct starting
procedure is being followed. ( →P. 225)
The interior lights and headlights are dim, or the horn does not
sound or sounds at a low volume.
