Plug-in hybrid system
■Charging from an external
power source ( →P.135)
This is a charging method used
when charging from an AC socket
(220 V - 240 V) with the AC
charging cable equipped to the
vehicle or charging at a public
charging station.
The charging start time (or departure
time) and day can be set to carry out
charging using the charging schedule
at the desired date and time. ( →P.144)
■Using the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode
( →P.87)
The plug-in hybrid system can be
switched to hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
using electricity generated by gaso-
line engine operation.
The maximum charge amount in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
mode is approximately 80% of the fully
charged capacity for the charging from
an external power source.
The time required to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery) dif -
fers according to t he charging volt-
age and charging current.

more, the upper limit of the charging
current can be changed in “Vehicle
Settings”. ( →P.125)

Warning lights inform the driver of
malfunctions in the indicated vehi -
cle’s systems.
*1: These lights turn on when the power
switch is turned to ON to indicate
that a system check is being per -
formed. They will turn off after the
hybrid system is on , or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunc-
tion in a system if the light does not
come on, or turn off. Have the vehi -
cle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■Hybrid System Indicator
The display contents of the Hybrid Sys -
tem Indicator are di fferent in EV mode
and HV mode.
READY OFF area
Shows that the hybrid system is not
operating.
Charge area
Shows regeneration* status. Regener -
ated energy will be us ed to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in
an Eco-friendly manner.
By keeping the indicator needle within
Eco area, more Eco-f riendly driving can
be achieved.
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range
is being exceeded (during full power
driving etc.)
EV driving area (EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode)
Shows that the vehicle is driven using
only the electric moto r (traction motor).
Hybrid Eco area (HV mode)
Shows that gasoline engine power is not
being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically
stop and restart under various condi -
tions.
*: When used in this manual, “regenera -
tion” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of
the vehicle into electrical energy.
In the following sit uation, the Hybrid
System Indicator does not operate.
●“READY” indicator is not illuminated.
●The shift lever is in a range other than D or S.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following situ ations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis -
played, or the display may take longer
than normal to change. • When stopped (including when using
“My Room Mode”), o r driving at low
speeds (less than 2 0 km/h [12 mph]) • When the outside temperature has

■The information display at low
temperatures
Allow the interior o f the vehicle to
warm up before usin g the liquid crys-
tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display moni -
tor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between
the driver’s shifting and the new shift
range appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down -
shift again, causing rapid and exces -
sive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine
and its components
●The engine may be overheating if “Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in
a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled
completely. ( →P.611)
