4. Things you must know
Things you must know
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
●The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or
B.
●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or B.
■Gasoline engine operation in EV/EV auto mode
Even if there is a sufficient amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) and EV driving range is being displayed on the multi-
information display etc., EV driving (driving using only the electric motor) may
be canceled and both gasoline engine and electric motor are used depending
on the situation (EV driving will be returned to automatically after EV driving
becomes possible again).
EV driving may be canceled automatically in the following circumstances:
●When vehicle speed is more than approximately 84 mph (135 km/h).
●When power is needed temporarily, for example when the accelerator pedal
is depressed firmly or when accelerating suddenly.
*
●When the temperature of the hybrid system is high.
The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
●When the temperature of the hybrid system is low.
●When the heater is switched on when the outside temperature is below
about 14°F (-10°C).
●When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.

The gasoline engine may also operate in circumstances other than those
listed above, depending on conditions.
*: When traveling in the EV auto mode only
■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions
*:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.
*: Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop
automatically in situations other than those above.

If water is spilled, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer and do
not charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) before the inspection.
■Notice about fuel
●For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and
undergo changes in quality depending on the how the vehicle is used.
Refuel at least 5.3 gal.(20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 12 months (refuel a
total of at least 5.3 gal. [20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 12-month period), as this
may affect components of the fuel system or the gasoline engine.
●If the vehicle has not been refueled for a certain amount of time and it is
possible that the quality of the fuel remaining in the tank has changed, “No
new fuel has been added recently. Please refuel” is displayed on the multi-
information display when the power switch is turned to ON mode. If the
message is displayed, refuel the vehicle immediately.
The grilles under the rear seats are the
cooling air intake vents for the charging
equipment installed under the seats.
Make sure to observe the following pre-
cautions regarding the cooling air intake
vents. Failure to observe these precau-
tions may result in a charging system
malfunction.
