842-1. Plug-in hybrid system
●Sounds from the hybrid system
may be heard when the back door
is open.
●Sounds may be heard from the
transmission when the gasoline
engine starts or stops, when driv-
ing at low speeds, or during idling.
●Engine sounds may be heard
when accelerating sharply.
●Sounds may be heard due to
regenerative braking when the
brake pedal is dep ressed or as
the accelerator pedal is released.
●Vibration may be felt when the
gasoline engine starts or stops.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from the air intake vent under the
rear seat. ( P.91)
●Sounds may be heard from near
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
in accordance with the operation
of the air conditioning system or
“Battery Cooler” ( P.116).
■Maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regard-
ing maintenance, repair, recycling
and disposal. Do not dispose of the
vehicle yourself.
In order to make EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode available,
charge the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) from an external
power source before using the
vehicle.
Even if charging t he hybrid battery
(traction battery) has not been com-
pleted, the vehicle can be driven.
However, if there is not enough
charge remaining, it is possible that
the vehicle canno t be driven in EV
mode or AUTO EV/HV mode or the
EV driving range will become shorter.
■Refilling fuel
Plug-in hybrid vehicles can be
driven using electricity charged from
an external power source. However,
as the gasoline engine is used
depending on the situation ( P.82)
even if in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV
mode, and the gasoline engine is
provided on board as a power
source for driving in HV mode, it is
needed to refueling the vehicle.
Check the fuel a mount and refill
immediately when the fuel level
becomes low. ( P.306)
■If the vehicle is not used for a
long time
●The 12-volt battery may dis-
charge. In this e vent, charge the
12-volt battery. ( P.539)
In order to prevent the hybrid bat-
tery (traction batt ery) from becom-
ing extremely low in charge,
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery) from external power
source or start th e hybrid system
at least once every 2 or 3 months,
and turn the power switch off after
the gasoline engine has stopped
automatically. ( If the gasoline
engine does not start up even
after approximately 10 seconds
have passed since the “READY”
indicator came on, the power

2885-2. Driving procedures
depressed for more than a certain
period of time
●When the shift lever is shifted to a
position other than D
●When the “+” paddle shift switch is
held down for a period of time
When the shift lever is in the S
position, the shift lever or paddle
shift switches (if equipped) can
be operated as follows:
1Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to
S6, will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
The initial shift range in S mode
is set automatically to S4.
*
*: It is set to S3 when the driving
mode is set to sport mode.
( P.377)
■S mode
●You can choose from 6 levels of
accelerating force and engine
braking force.
●A lower shift range will provide
greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher
shift range, and t he engine revolu-
tions will also increase.
●To prevent the e ngine from over-
revving, upshifting may automati-
cally occur when the shift range is
3 or lower.
●When the shift range is 4 or lower,
holding the shift lever toward “+”
sets the shift range to 6.
■Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving
performance, dow nshifting opera-
tion may sometimes be restricted. In
some circumstances, downshifting
may not be possible even when the
shift lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped) is oper ated. (A buzzer
will sound twice.)
■If the “S” indi cator does not
come on or the “D” indicator is
displayed even after shifting the
shift lever to S
This may indicate a malfunction in
the transmission system. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately. (In this situa-
tion, the transmission will operate in
the same manner as when the shift
lever is in D.)
