■BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) outsid e rear view mirror indicators 
(if equipped) ( P. 349)
• When the BSM function is enabled on the   screen of the multi-i nfor-
mation display, the power switch is turned to ON mode.
If the system is functioning correctly, the BSM outside rear vi ew mirror indi-
cators will turn off after a few seconds.
If  the  BSM  outside  rear  view  mirror  indicators  do  not  illuminat e  or  do  not
turn off, there may be a malfunction in the system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota deale r.
●
Indicators are also displayed on the out-
side rear view mirrors.
● In  order  to  confirm  operation,  the  BSM

mation display.
WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should  a  safety  system  light  such  as  the ABS  and  SRS  warning  li ght  not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that  these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, whic h could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your  Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The  engine  may  be  overheating  if  the  high  coolant  temperature  warning
light  comes  on  or  flashes.  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehicle  in  a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely . (P. 656)

“ECO Accelerator Guidance”
A  blue  zone  is  displayed  in  the
Eco area which can be used as
a  reference  operation  range  for
using  the  accelerator  pedal
according  to  driving  conditions
such  as  starting  off  and  cruis-
ing.
The  “ECO  Accelerator  Guid-
ance”  display  changes  accord-
ing to the driving status, such as
when starting off or cruising.
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly manner by driving according to the
display showing the accelerator pedal operations and staying wi thin the
“ECO Accelerator Guidance” range. ( P. 229)

■Eco score
The  driving  status  for  the  following  3  situations  are  evaluated in 5
levels:  Smooth  start-off  acceleration  (“Eco-Start”),  driving  wi thout
sudden  acceleration  (“Eco-Cruise”)  and  smooth  stopping  (“Eco-
Stop”). Each time the vehicle i s stopped, a score result is displayed
out of a perfect score of 100 points.
Score result
“Eco-Start” status
“Eco-Cruise” status
“Eco-Stop” status
How to read the bar display:
*: For items not currently evaluated, the display reads 0.
● The Eco score is reset each time the vehicle starts off to star t a new
evaluation.
● When  the  shift  position  is  P,  only  the  Eco  score  display  area  i s
enlarged  and  displayed.  When  the  shift  position  is  shifted  from  P,
the display returns to normal.
● When  the  hybrid  system  stops,  the  current  total  score  result  an d
advice on how to increase th e score are displayed. (P. 102)

■When operation of  each function stops
● The Hybrid System Indicator stops operating in the following si tuations.
• The “READY” indicator is not illuminated.
• The shift position is not D or B.
● The  Eco  score  and  “ECO Accelerator  Guidance”  stop  operating  in  the  fol-
lowing situations.
• The Hybrid System Indicator is not operating.
• Cruise  control  (if  equipped)  or  dynamic  radar  cruise  control  w ith  full-
speed range (if equipped) is being used.
■ About the Eco score
●After  starting  off,  Eco  score  display  does  not  start  until  the  vehicle  speed
exceeds approximately 19 mph (30 km/h).
● In addition to the vehicle driving status, the Eco score also e valuates the air
conditioning  system  usage  condition  ( P.  148). The  score  displayed  when
the  hybrid  system  stops  is  the  total  result  of  the  driving  stat us  after  the
hybrid system starts and the air conditioning usage condition.
■ Predictive  Efficient  Drive  (Pre dictive  Deceleration  Support)  (vehicles
with 11.6-inch display)
When a predictive deceleration support point registered in the  navigation sys-
tem  is  approached,  the  system  turns  off  the  Eco  accelerator  gui de  and
informs the driver of releasing the accelerator pedal early.
For details about Predictive Efficient Drive (Predictive Decele ration Support),
refer to “NAVIGATION SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.

■Enabling/disabling of the head-up display
When  the  head-up  display  is  turned  off  with  the  “HUD”  switch,  it  is  not  dis-
played  until  the  “HUD”  switch  is  used  to  turn  the  head-up  displ ay  on  again.
(Operation of the head-up display is not linked with the power  switch.)
■ Display brightness
●The brightness of the head-up display is automatically adjusted  according to
the operation status of the headlights (on/off) and the brightn ess of the sur-
roundings.
● When the brightness of the head-up display is adjusted to a cer tain level or
higher, the display automatically dims when the vehicle is stopped. Once the
vehicle  starts  off  and  the  vehicle  speed  reaches  approximately  3.1 mph
(5 km/h)  or  more,  the  display  automatically  returns  to  its  previous  bright-
ness.
■ Vehicle speed display
In extremely cold environments, the display of the speedometer  and the vehi-
cle speed of the head-up display may slightly differ.
■ Head-up display
The  head-up  display  may  seem  dark  and  hard  to  see  when  viewed  t hrough
sunglasses, especially polarized sunglasses.
■ When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
The customize settings of the head-up display will be reset.
■ Route guidance display (vehicles with navigation system)
The  route  guidance  is  not  displayed  on  both  the  head-up  display   and  multi-
information display simultaneously. When the route guidance is  displayed on
the  head-up  display,  the  multi-information  display  does  not  dis play  the  route
guidance  even  if  the  navigation  system-linked  display  ( P.  145)  is  selected
on the multi-information display.
