■Instrument panel brightness
adjustment
The instrument panel brightness
levels when the tail lights are on and
off can be adjusted individually.
However, when the surroundings
are bright (daytime, etc.), turning on
the tail lights will not chan ge the
instrument panel brightness.
The clock can be adjusted on
the audio system screen.
Refer to “NAVIGATION AND
MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM
OWNER’S MANUAL”. Following information is dis-
played on the multi-information
display.

Vehicle status information and indicators
■Electricity consumption
When the unit is set to “MPH”:
Electricity consum ption is the con-
sumption rate of the electricity when
EV driving is performed and equiva-
lent to the fuel c onsumption for the
gasoline vehicles. F or this vehicle,
driven distance per kWh of electric-
ity consumed (“mile s/kWh”) is dis-
played as electricity consumption on
each screen.
When the unit is set to “km/h”:
Electricity consum ption is the con-
sumption rate of the electricity when
EV driving is performed and equiva-
lent to the fuel c onsumption for the
gasoline vehicles. F or this vehicle,
electricity consumed per 100 km
(“kWh/100 km”) i s displayed as
electricity consumption on each
screen.
■EV driving range
●When the air conditioning system
is operating, is displayed next
to the EV driving range and the
EV driving range with the air con-
ditioning system on is displayed.
●The EV driving range may shorten
even when not driving due to
power consumption by the sys-
tem.
●For details, refer to “EV driving
range” ( P.95)
■Distance to empty
●This distance is computed based
on your averag e fuel consump-
tion. As a result, the actual dis-
tance that can be driven may
differ from tha t displayed.
●When only a small amount of fuel
is added to the tank, the display
may not be updated. When refuel-
ing, turn the power switch off. If
the vehicle is refueled without
turning the power switch off, the
display may not be updated.
●When “Refuel” is displayed, the remaining fuel amount is low and
the distance that can be driven
with the remaining fuel cannot be
calculated.
Refuel immediately.
■ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance/“Eco Score” will not oper-
ate when
The ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance/“Eco Score” will not operate in
the following situations:
●The Hybrid System Indicator is not
operating.
●The vehicle is bei ng driven using
the dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range.

Driving
activities such as sudden accelera-
tion. Refer to “Plug-in hybrid vehicle
driving tips” (P.92).
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully whe n it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road could be slip-
pery.
●Drive carefully whe n it starts to
rain, as the road surface could be
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
(  P.173)
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to
the ECO Accelerator Guidance dis-
play. Also, by using the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance it is easier to
increase the “Eco Score” evaluation.
●When starting off:
While staying within the ECO
Accelerator Guidance range,
gradually depress the accelerator
pedal and accelerate to the
desired speed. If excessive accel-
eration is avoid ed, the “Start”
score will increase.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Acce lerator Guid-
ance range. By keeping the vehi-
cle within the E CO Accelerator
Guidance range, the “Cruise”
score will increase.
●When stopping:
When stopping the vehicle, early
releasing the accelerator pedal
will cause the “Stop” score to
increase.
■Restraining the hybrid system
output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelera tor and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display
and head-up display (if equipped)
while the system is operating.
(  P.517)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control)
●When the following unusual oper-
ation is performed, the hybrid sys-
tem output may b e restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from
R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D
*, or
P to R* (D includes S) with the
accelerator pedal depressed, a
warning message appears on the
multi-information display and
head-up display (i f equipped). If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information d isplay, read the
message and follow the instruc-
tions.
• When the accelerator pedal is
depressed too much while the
vehicle is in reverse.
*: Depending on the situation, the
shift lever may not be changed.
●While Drive-Start Control is being
activated, your v ehicle may have
trouble escaping from the mud or
fresh snow. In such case, deacti-
vate TRAC ( P.382) to cancel
Drive-Start Cont rol so that the
vehicle may be able to escape
from the mud o r fresh snow.
●Drive-Start Contro l does not work
when Trail Mode is turned on.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.

2705-1. Before driving
WARNING
■Trailer towing precautions
To tow a traile r safely, use
extreme care and drive the vehi-
cle in accordance with the trailer’s
characteristics and operating con-
ditions. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury. Vehicle
stability and braking performance
are affected by trailer stability,
brake setting and performance,
and the hitch. Your vehicle will
handle differently when towing a
trailer.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Do not exceed the TWR,
unbraked TWR, GCWR, GVWR
or GAWR.
●Adjust the tongue weight within
the appropriate range. Place
heavier loads as close to the
trailer axle as possible.
●Do not exceed 65 mph (104
km/h), the posted towing speed
limit or the speed limit for your
trailer as set fort h in your trailer
owner’s manual, whichever is
lowest. Slow down sufficiently
before making a turn, in cross
winds, on wet or slippery sur-
face, etc. to help avoid an acci-
dent. If you experience a
vehicle-trailer instability from
reducing a certain speed, slow
down and make sure you keep
your vehicle speed under the
speed of which you experience
the instability.
●Do not make jerky, abrupt or
sharp turns.
●Do not apply the brakes sud-
denly as you may skid, resulting
in jackknifing and loss of vehicle
control. This is especially true
on wet or slippery surfaces.
●Do not exceed the trailer hitch
assembly weight, gross vehicle
weight, gross axle weight and
trailer tongue weight capacities.
●Do not use dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed
range when towing.
●Slow down and downshift
before descending steep or long
downhill grades. Do not make
sudden downshifts while
descending steep or long down-
hill grades.
●Vehicle-trailer in stability is more
likely on steep long downhills.
Before descending steep or
long downhill grades, slow
down and downshift. Do not
make sudden downshifts when
descending steep or long down-
hill grades. Avoid holding the
brake pedal down too long or
applying the brakes too fre-
quently. This could cause the
brakes to overheat and result in
reduced braking efficiency.
●Do not tow a trailer when the
compact spare tire is installed
on your vehicle.
■When towing a trailer
Toyota recommends trailers with
brakes that conform to any appli-
cable federal and s tate/provincial
regulations.
●If the gross tr ailer weight
exceeds unbraked TWR, trailer
brakes are required. Toyota rec-
ommends trailers with brakes
that conform to all applicable
federal and state/provincial reg-
ulations.
●Never tap into y our vehicle’s
hydraulic system, as this will
lower the vehicle’s braking
effectiveness.
