Hybrid Synergy Drive 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
and reduced vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and the audio system
screen (navigation system or multi-media system.)
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains steady
and a beep sounds, shift the gear to the desired position and you may begin
driving.
Put the shift lever in “Park.”
Depress the brake pedal, and “

Information Display.

Refer to all of the section “Parking Support Brake function” (static objects and rear-
crossing vehicles) in the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.

When reversing, a vehicle is
approaching and the brake pedal is
not depressed, or is depressed late.
The Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automated Braking consists of the following
functions that operate when driving at a low speed or backing up, such as when
parking. When the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a
detected object is high, a warning operates to urge the driver to take evasive
action. If the system determines that the possibility of a collision with a detected
object is extremely high, the brakes are automatically applied to help avoid the
collision or help reduce the impact of the collision.

Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional
braking force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply
greater braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the
possibility of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the
system may automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the
driver reduce the impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

As part of the Pre-Collision System, this function is also designed to first provide an
alert and then automatic braking if needed.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional limitations and information.Under certain conditions, the PCS system included with the TSS 2.0 package
may also help to detect a pedestrian or bicyclist in front of your vehicle using the
forward-facing camera and front grille-mounted radar. The forward-facing 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 brightness
and the motion, posture, size, and angle of the potential detected pedestrian or
bicyclist, preventing the system from operating or engaging.

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 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.

Floor mat installation
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.

Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
