TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
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.
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
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.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
(1) Depress the brake pedal, and “”
will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display.
(2) Press the “POWER” switch briefly and
firmly.
(3) The “READY” light will blink. After
a few seconds, when the light remains
steady and a beep sounds, you may
begin driving.
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in different modes, or turned
OFF.
Shift position linked door locking/unlocking function
-Doors lock when shifting from Park.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
Speed linked door locking function
-Doors lock when the vehicle speed goes above approximately 12 mph.
Driver’s door linked door unlocking function
-Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 45 seconds after turning the
“POWER” switch to OFF.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.

Assist mode will be canceled or stopped in the following cases.
Assist control is canceled when
• The system temperature preservation function operates
• There is a system malfunction
• System determined that the parking environment is not suitable for assist to
continue
When assist control is canceled, firmly grasp the steering wheel, depress the brake
pedal and stop the vehicle.
Start again from the beginning, as the system will already be canceled. When
continuing to park manually, operate the steering wheel as you normally would.
Assist control is stopped when
• The steering wheel is operated
• The vehicle speed exceeds 4 mph (7 km/h) during assist control
• The Parking Support Brake function operates
When assist control is stopped, it can be resumed by following the guidance shown
on the screen.
The Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) system requires driver brake control. Always
look around outside the vehicle and use mirrors to confirm clearance.
* Refer to section S-APGS (Simple Advanced Parking Guidance System) in the
Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Star Safety System™
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling
backward.
Refer to the Brake Override System section in the Owner’s Manual for more
information on Smart Stop Technology.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the ABS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of traction occurs
during a turn.
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. 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 SystemTM, 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).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
