after charging, a message is dis-
played in the multi-information dis-
play.
When this occurs, follow the
instructions displayed on the

If charging cannot be carried out,
even though the proper procedures
were followed, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

chargingWhen the latch release button is
pressed while charging, charging
stops. To continue charging, recon-
nect the charging connector.
If “Charging Complete Limited Due to Battery Temp” is shown
Charging was stopped to protect the
hybrid battery (traction battery) as it
continued to remain hot for a certain
period of time.Allow the hybrid battery (traction
battery) to cool down and perform
charging again if the charging
amount has not reached the desired
amount.

2-2. Charging
If “Charging Stopped High Energy Use See Owner’s Manual” is shown
Power is being consumed by electri-
cal components of vehicle
Check the following items, and then
carry out charging again.
• If the headlights and audio are
turned on, turn them off.
• Turn the power switch off.
If charging cannot be carried out,
even after performing the above, the
auxiliary battery may not be suffi-
ciently charged. Operate the hybrid
system for approximately 15 min-
utes or more to charge the auxiliary
battery.
If “Charging System Malfunction See Owner’s Manual” is shown
Malfunction occurred in charging
systemHave the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
If “The Traction Battery became low temperature System put priority on
charging to preserve battery c ondition” is shown (Alaska and Canada
only)
The Hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control was operated
( → P. 127)
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) warning control operates,
the timer charge schedule is not
used and charging is performed
immediately. This is a control to pro-
tect the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery), and not a malfunction.

The power switch is in ON mode.
■ Adjusting the instrument cluster brightness (→P. 182)
● The brightness levels that can be selected differ depending on whether the
tail lights are on and surrounding brightness levels, as shown in the table
below.
*: 22 levels of the brightness are displayed on the setting screen. However,
the brightness setting will be the brightest when other than 1st level (the
darkest) is selected. If other than 1st or 22nd level is selected, when the
tail lights are turned on in a dark place, the instrument cluster brightness
setting will be the selected level.
● If the taillights are illuminated in a dark environment, the instrument cluster
light dims. However, when the brightness of the instrument cluster is set to
minimum or maximum (1st or 22nd level of the instrument cluster bright-
ness), even if the taillights are illuminated, the instrument cluster light will
not dim.
■ When disconnecting and reconnect ing 12-volt battery terminals
The settings of the clock will be reset.
■ Calendar settings
●Until the calendar settings are set, the check screen is displayed every time
the power switch is turned to ON mode.
● After the calendar information is set, it can be changed in the “Meter Cus-
tomize” settings. ( →P. 233)

If calendar recording is interrupted due to
replacement of the 12-volt battery or 12-
volt battery discharge, etc., when the
power switch is turned to ON mode after
maintenance, the calendar settings check
screen is automatically displayed on the
multi-information display.
● If date information is not set, the electric-
ity and fuel consumption record cannot
be stored correctly. When the calendar
settings check screen is displayed,
make sure to always set the settings.

Display contentsDetail
Hybrid System Indicator A convenient Hybrid System Indicator is displayed.
Refer to P. 210 for details on how to read the Hybrid
System Indicator.
Current electricity consumption When in EV/EV auto mode, the current electricity
consumption during driving is displayed.
• The mark indicates the total average electric-ity consumption since last reset until it is reset
again.
• When “Electricity Consumption Reset” ( →P. 235)
is performed, the data of the total average elec-
tricity consumption is deleted and the mark is
reset to 0.
Current fuel consumption
When in HV mode, the current fuel consumption
during driving is displayed.
• The mark indicates the value displayed in theaverage fuel consumption display ( →P. 198).
Switching the average fuel consumption display
also changes the position of the mark.
• When the average fuel consumption is reset, the
position of the mark is reset to 0.
Hybrid battery (traction battery) status The same contents as the hybrid battery (traction
battery) status on the Hybrid System Indicator are
displayed. ( →P. 210)

◆Energy monitor
The energy monitor can be used to check the vehicle drive status,
hybrid system operation status and energy regeneration status.
While charging from the external pow er source, the flow of electrical
energy while charging is displayed.
When energy is flowing, an arrow appears and a bright point of light
moves to show the direction of the flow of energy. When energy is
not flowing, the bright point of light is not displayed.
● The arrows from the image of the engine to that of the electric
motor (traction motor) or tires are displayed in red.
● The arrow indicating energy consumption is displayed in yellow,
and the arrow indicating energy regeneration or charging is dis-
played in green. Also, the colo r around the image of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is changed.
As an example, all arrows are shown in the illustration, but the actual
contents of the display will differ.
