■Turning off both TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems
To turn the TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems off, pres s and hold
for more than 3 seconds while the vehicle is stopped.
The VSC off indicator will come on and the message will be show n on the
multi-information display.*
Press again to turn the system back on.
*: On vehicles with PCS (Pre-Collision System), PCS will also be disabled
(only Pre-Collision warning is a vailable). The PCS warning light will come
on and a message will be displayed on the multi-information dis play.
( P. 386)
■ When the message is displayed on the multi-information display show-
ing that TRC has been disable d even if has not been pressed
TRC is temporary deactivated. If the information continues to s how, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, o r any reliable
repairer.
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer
Sway Control, TRC and hill-st art assist control systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the hybrid system is started or j ust after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a mal function has
occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occur red.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a s top.
■ ECB operating sound
ECB operating sound may be heard in the following cases, but it does not
indicate that a malfunction has occurred.
● Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is operated.
● Motor sound of the brake system heard from the front part of the vehicle
when the driver’s door is opened.
● Operating sound heard from the engine compartment when one or two min-
utes passed after the stop of the hybrid system.

■ Active Cornering Assist operation sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assi st is operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a malfunction.
■ EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring so und) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC systems
After turning the TRC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC systems off , the sys-
tems will be automatically re- enabled in the following situations:
● When the power switch is turned off
● If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-en abling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ Operating conditions of Active Cornering Assist
The system operates when the following occurs:
● TRC/VSC can operate
● The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
● The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
● The brake pedal is released
■ Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the s ystem from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an exten ded period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should thi s occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
■ Operating conditions of hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are met, the hill-start assi st control will
operate:
● The shift lever is in a position other than P or N (when starting off forward/
backward on an upward incline)
● The vehicle is stopped
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed
● The parking brake is not engaged

● The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as
excessively worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
■ Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping dista nce. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, espe cially in the
following situations:
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven surfaces
■ TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while drivi ng on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in conditions where stability and p ower may be
lost.
■ Active Cornering Assist does not operate effectively when
● Do not overly rely on Active Cornering Assist. Active Cornering A ss i st m a y

Maintenance and care
■Cleaning the air intake vent
● Dust in the air intake vent may interfere with the cooling of the hybrid battery
(traction battery). If charging/discharging of the hybrid batte ry (traction bat-
tery) becomes limited, the distance that the vehicle can be dri ven using the
electric motor (traction motor) may be reduced and the fuel eco nomy may
be reduced. Inspect and clean the air intake vent periodically.
● Improper handling of the air intake vent cover and filter may result in dam-
age to them. If you have any concerns about cleaning the filter , contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable
repairer.
■ If “Maintenance required for Traction battery cooling parts See owner’s
manual.” is shown on the multi-information display
● If this message is shown on the multi-information display, remove the air
intake vent cover and clean the filter. ( P. 640)
● After cleaning the air intake vent, start the hybrid system and check that the
warning message is no longer displayed.
After the hybrid system is started, it may be necessary to driv e the vehicle
up to approximately 20 minutes before the warning message disap pears. If
the warning message does not disappear after driving for approp riately 20
minutes, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota re tailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
WARNING
■ When cleaning the air intake vent
● Before cleaning the air intake vent, make sure to turn the power switch off
to stop the hybrid system.
● Do not use water or other liquids to clean the air intake vent. If water is
applied to the hybrid battery (traction battery) or other compo nents, a mal-
function or fire may occur.
■ When removing the air intake vent cover
Do not touch the service plug located near the air intake vent. (P. 126)
