The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
● Hybrid system
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
● Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
● Cruise control system
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary meas ures or spe-
cial instructions regarding instal lation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High  voltage  parts  and  cables  on  the  hybrid  vehicles  emit  appro ximately  the
same  amount  of  electromagnetic  waves  as  the  conventional  gasoli ne  pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances  despite of  their  el ectromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

■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”.
