If the indicator does not turn off within a few seconds of starting the Hybrid System, there may be a
malfunction. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
2 If the indicator flashes, there may be a malfunction. Refer to the Owner’s Manual.3 If the indicator flashes, it indicates that the system is operating.4 If equipped.

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.

ManualTo turn automatic mode ON, while vehicle is stopped, pull and hold switch until
“EPB Shift Interlock Function Activated” displays in Multi-Information Display (MID).
While depressing brake, shifting into P position will automatically set the brake
and turn the parking brake indicator and parking brake light on. To release brake,
depress brake and shift out of P. The indicator light and the light on the switch turn
off.
To turn automatic mode OFF, push and hold parking brake switch until “EPB Shift
Interlock Function Deactivated” displays on the MID.
While vehicle is stopped and brake pedal is depressed, pull to set parking brake
and turn the parking brake indicator and parking brake light on. To release, press
the brake pedal and push switch. The indicator light turns off.
The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in D, S or N
with the system on and the brake pedal has been depressed to stop the vehicle.
The system releases the brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed with the
shift lever in D or S to allow smooth start off.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

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.
