WARNING
■ If a safety system warning light does not come on 
Should a safety system light such as ABS and SRS airbag warning  light not 
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that  these sys- 
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, whic h could result 
in  death  or  serious  injury.  Have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  any  a uthorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer.

■ Engine speed 
On  Hybrid  Electric  Vehicles,  engine  speed  is  precisely  controll ed  in  order  to 
help improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions, etc.   
There  are  times  when  the  engine  speed  that  is  displayed  may  dif fer  even 
when vehicle operation and driving conditions are the same. 
■ Outside temperature display 
● In  the  following  situations,  the  correct  outside  temperature  may  not  be  dis- 
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change. 
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 25 km/h [16  mph]) 
• When  the  outside  temperature  has  changed  suddenly  (at  the  entr ance/ 
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.) 
● When “--” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.  
Take  your  vehicle  to  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  a uthorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Adjusting the clock (if equipped) 
The clocks can be adjusted on the multimedia system screen.  
Refer to “Navigation and multimedia system Owner’s manual” or “ Multimedia 
owner’s manual”.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components 
The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature  gauge is 
in  the  red  zone  (“H”).  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehic le  in  a  safe 
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 757)

■Important points regarding stability 
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong 
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked  by 
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov - 
ing  alongside  such  vehicles.  As  soon  as  such  vehicle  movement 
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly appl ying 
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braki ng.
■Passing other vehicles 
Consider  the  total  combined  length  of  your  vehicle  and  trailer  and 
ensure  that  the vehicle-to-vehicle  distance  is  sufficient befor e  exe- 
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information 
To  maintain  engine  braking  efficiency  and  charging  system  perfo r- 
mance  when  using  engine  braking,  do  not  use  the  transmission  in 
D. Shift the shift lever to B.
■If the engine overheats 
Towing  a  loaded  trailer  up  a  long,  steep  incline  in  temperature s 
exceeding 30 C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the 
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is o ver- 
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the r oad and 
stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 757)
■When parking the vehicle 
Always  place  wheel  chocks  under  the  wheels  of  both  the  vehicle 
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift l ever to P.

Winter driving tips
●Use  fluids  that  are  appropriate  to  the  prevailing  outside  tempera- 
tures.  
• Engine oil 
• Engine/power control unit coolant 
• Washer fluid 
● Have  a  service  technician  inspect  the  condition  of  the  12-volt bat- 
tery. 
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire 
chains for the front tires*. 
Ensure  that  all  tires  are  the  same  size  and  brand,  and  that  cha ins  match 
the size of the tires.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted on 18-inch tires or 19-inch tir es.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions: 
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen. 
Pour  warm  water  over  the  frozen  area  to  melt  the  ice.  Wipe  away 
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.  
● To  ensure  proper  operation  of  the  climate  control  system  fan, 
remove  any  snow  that  has  accumulated  on  the  air  inlet  vents  in
front of the windshield.  
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu- 
mulated  on  the  exterior  lights,  vehicle’s  roof,  chassis,  around  the 
tires or on the brakes.  
● Remove  any  snow  or  mud  from  the  bottom  of  your  shoes  before 
getting in the vehicle. 
Carry  out  the  necessary  preparations  and  inspections  before
driving  the  vehicle  in  winter. Always  drive  the  vehicle  in  a  ma n- 
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

Maintenance and care
■Where to go for maintenance service? 
In order to maintain your vehicle in the best possible conditio n, Toyota recom- 
mends that maintenance service operations as well as other insp ections and 
repairs be carried out by authorized Toyota retailers or repair ers or other duly 
qualified  and  equipped  professionals.  For  repairs  and  services  covered  by 
your warranty, please visit an authorized Toyota retailers or r epairer, who will 
use  genuine  Toyota  parts  in  repairing  any  difficulties  you  may  encounter. 
There  can  also  be  advantages  in  utilizing  authorized  Toyota  ret ailers  or 
repairers  for  non-warranty  repairs  and  services,  as  members  of  the  Toyota 
network  will  be  able  to  expertly  assist  you  with  any  difficulti es  you  may 
encounter. 
Your  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  repairer,  or  any  reliable 
repairer will perform all of the scheduled maintenance on your  vehicle reliably 
and economically due to their experience with Toyota vehicles. 
■ Does your vehicle need repairs? 
Be  on  the  alert  for  changes  in  performance  and  sounds,  and  visu al  tip-offs 
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are: 
● Engine misses, stumbling or pinging 
● Appreciable loss of power 
● Strange engine noises 
● A  fluid  leak  under  the  vehicle  (However,  water  dripping  from  the  air  condi- 
tioning system after use is normal.) 
● Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide 
leak.  Drive  with  the  windows  open  and  have  the  exhaust  system  c hecked 
immediately.) 
● Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear 
● Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road 
● Strange noises related to suspension movement 
● Loss  of  brake  effectiveness,  spongy  feeling  brake  pedal,  pedal almost 
touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking 
● Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal (P. 686, 757) 
If  you  notice  any  of  these  clues,  take  your  vehicle  to  any  auth orized  Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r as soon as pos- 
sible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
