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.

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\

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
LDA in TSS 2.0 uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible whit\
e and
yellow lane markers or road edge in front of the vehicle and the vehicle\
’s position
on the road. If the system determines that the vehicle is starting to un\
intentionally
deviate from its lane, the system alerts the driver with an audio and vi\
sual alert.
When the alerts occur, the driver must check the surrounding road situat\
ion and
carefully operate the steering wheel to move the vehicle back to the cen\
ter part of
their lane.
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 mph (50 km/h)\
or higher
on relatively straight roadways.
In addition to the alert function, LDA w/SA also features a steering ass\
ist
function. When enabled, if the system determines that the vehicle is on \
a path to
unintentionally depart from its lane, the system may provide small corrective steering
inputs to the steering wheel for a short period of time to help keep the\
vehicle in its
lane.
If the vehicle repeatedly deviates from the lane, the vehicle drifts wit\
hin the lane due
to inattention, or the driver abruptly operates the steering wheel after\
an inattentive
period, when enabled, the vehicle sway warning function alerts the drive\
r with an
audio and visual alert, urging them to take a break.
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
(LDA w/SA)
TURNING THE LDA SYSTEM ON/OFF
Press the LDA switch to turn the LDA system on. Depress again to turn it\
off.
Note: Operation of the LDA system and setting adjustments continues in the
same condition regardless of Ignition cycle until changed by the driver or the
system is reset.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LDA \
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
LANE DEPARTURE ALERT
LDA function display(1)
Lane Departure Alert (LDA) indicator flashes orange when operating.
The LDA function displays when the Multi-Information Display (MID) is switched
to the driving assist system information screen.
(1) The system displays solid white lines on the LDA indicator when vi\
sible lane
markers or the road are detected. A side flashes orange to alert the dri\
ver when the
vehicle deviates from its lane.
(2) The system displays outlines on the LDA indicator when lane marker\
s or the road
are not detected or the function is temporarily canceled.
Note: When operation conditions are no longer met, a function may be
temporarily canceled. However, when the operation conditions are met again,
operation of the function is automatically restored. For example, LDA may not
function on the side(s) where white/yellow lines are not detectable.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on LDA \
operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to \
use it.
