FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and/or display audio system/
navigation system screen (if equipped).
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and messages will be displayed on the Multi-
Information Display.
(3) Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
(4) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains steady
and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

Driving mode select
EV drive mode
Normal mode
Suitable for normal driving.
ECO drive mode
Use to help achieve low fuel consumption during trips that involve frequent
accelerating.
SPORT mode
Use when increased acceleration response and precise handling is desired; for
example, when driving on mountain roads.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Use EV drive mode when driving short distances to reduce noise late at night in resi-
dential areas or to cut emissions when parking in a small garage or underground car
park.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
CHANGING PCS ALERT TIMING
(1) Press “” switches and select from the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(2) Press “
” or “” switches and select from the MID and then press
“
”. The setting screen is displayed.
(3) Press “
” each time to change the setting. Each time it is pressed, the
response to the PCS alert timing changes as shown above. You can press “
” to
go back to the menu.
Note: PCS is enabled each time the engine switch is turned to Ignition On.
The system can be disabled/enabled and the alert timing of the system can be
changed. (Alert timing only, brake operation remains the same).
Monocular camera sensor
Millimeter
wave radar
As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.In certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS-P package may also
help to detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle. With Toyota Safety Sense™ P,
PCS uses an in-vehicle camera and front-grill mounted millimeter-wave radar to
help detect a pedestrian in front of your vehicle in certain conditions. The in-vehicle
camera of PCS detects a potential pedestrian based on size, profile, and motion of
the detected pedestrian. However, a pedestrian may not be detected depending
on the conditions, including the surrounding brightness and the motion, posture,
size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian, preventing the system from
operating or engaging. Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
ADJUSTING DISTANCE
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding vehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100m) ahead, determines the current vehicle-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
(1) (2) (3)
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the brake lights will come on at this
time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead
in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. A warning
tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your
vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead. Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance
Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.

Safety Connect (if equipped)
Safety Connect is a subscription-based telematics service that uses Global
Positioning System (GPS) data and embedded cellular technology to provide safety
and security features to subscribers. Safety Connect is supported by Toyota’s
designated response center, which operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
Services for subscribers include:
• Automatic collision notification
• Stolen vehicle location
• Emergency assistance (“SOS” button)
• Enhanced roadside assistance
For details, refer to the “Owner’s Manual” or visit www.toyota.com/safety-connect.

Star Safety System™
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than
just the driver alone can.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle to tilt
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden
stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all four
wheels. Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety System
TM, which combines Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force Distribution
(EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (TRAC) and Vehicle Stability
Control (VSC),
