TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ 3.0 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.
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
- When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
- Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
1. Put the selector lever in “P.”
2. Depress the brake pedal, and “
” will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display (MID).
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.

Automatic (shift lever operation)
To 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.
Manual
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.
Brake hold
The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in D, B 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 B to allow smooth start off.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

A mobile device can be charged wirelessly on the tray. (1) Press the wireless
charger power switch and the green operation indicator light turns on. (2) Place
a compatible mobile device on the tray as shown in the illustration. An amber
indicator illuminates while charging is in progress. When charging is complete, the
indicator illuminates green. Some phones, cases or cover type wireless chargers
may not cause the green indicator to illuminate even though it is fully charged.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting to
use it.

SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
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.
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. 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).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
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.
