NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Audio Multimedia system screen or the navigation system (if
equipped).
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking for\
ce
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In add\
ition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fu\
el economy
and reduced vehicle emissions.
- 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 ene\
rgy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.
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 lig\
ht remains steady
and a beep sounds, shift the gear to the desired position and you may be\
gin
driving.

in-vehicle camera and front grille-mounted radar. The in-vehicle camera \
of PCS
detects a potential pedestrian or bicyclist based on size, profile, and \
motion of
the detected pedestrian or bicyclist. However, a pedestrian or bicyclist\
may not
be detected depending on the conditions, including the surrounding brigh\
tness
and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedes\
trian or
bicyclist, preventing the system from operating or engaging.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
To change the vehicle-to-vehicle distance

Push the “
” button to cycle
through the settings, which will
change progressively.
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding v\
ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehic\
le-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \
from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.

(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 dis\
tance
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 automaticall\
y
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 a\
head
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.

SWITCHING TO CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL MODE
SETTING CONSTANT SPEED (CRUISE) CONTROL
Note: When your vehicle is too close to a vehicle ahead, and sufficient automatic
deceleration via the cruise control is not possible, the display will flash and the
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. An example of this would be if another driver
cuts in front of you while you are following a vehicle. Depress the brake pedal to
ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
If you are already using DRCC “”, push ON-OFF button to turn the system off
first, then push and hold ON-OFF button for at least 1.5 seconds to swit\
ch.
Note: When the engine is turned off, it will automatically default to DRCC.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on DRCC\
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
(3) Acceleration when there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving
slower than the set speed The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.

Automatic High Beams (AHB)
ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM
CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
When all of these conditions are met, the high beams will be automatical\
ly turned
on (after approximately 1 second):• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21 mph (34 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road ahead.
If any of these conditions occur, the high beams will be automatically t\
urned off: • Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ah\
ead at nighttime
while reducing glare for oncoming drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-\
vehicle
camera to help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail light\
s of preceding
vehicles, then automatically switches between high and low beams as appr\
opriate to
provide the most light possible and enhance forward visibility. By using\
high beams
more frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians a\
nd obstacles.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB \
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.

Road Sign Assist is designed to help ensure drivers are kept informed. The RSA
system recognizes specific road signs using a forward-facing intelligent\

limit, or performing actions prohibited by other support types of road s\
igns, it
notifies the driver using a notification display and notification buzzer.
