OThe current amount of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery) is dis-
played in the Hybrid System Indicator or the sub-screen on the main display.
(P. 217)
• The remaining battery for EV driving in EV mode is displayed in green,
and the remaining battery used in HV mode is displayed in blue.
• The amount of the remaining battery displayed decrease as the vehicle is
driven and increase when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged,
electrical energy is regenerated using the regenerative braking (P. 93)
or electricity is generated by the gasoline engine.
• If the remaining battery is not displayed in green, HV mode is automati-
cally selected and EV mode cannot be used. To enable EV driving,
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery). (P. 111)
OThe amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) in HV mode is automati-
cally controlled by the hybrid system. The amount of remaining hybrid battery
(traction battery) in HV mode may not reach the top line
* even if electrical
energy is regenerated using the regenerative braking (P. 93) or electricity
is generated by the gasoline engine. However, this does not indicate a mal-
function. Also, even if the display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction
battery) exceeds the top line, the display is shown in blue until the vehicle
returns to EV mode.
*: The position of the boundary line between EV mode and HV mode on the
display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery).
ODepending on the charging situation, when the display of the remaining
hybrid battery (traction battery) is shown during charging, charging continues
even after the display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery) shows
a fully charged state. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Please
wait until charging is finished.The hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged

Reading the display
The arrows will appear in accordance with the energy flow. When
there is no energy flow, arrows will not be displayed.
The color of the arrows will change as follows.
Green: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is regenerated or
charged.
Yellow: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in use.
Red: When the gasoline engine is in use.

QRemaining charge amount warning of hybrid battery (traction battery)
OThe buzzer sounds intermittently when the hybrid battery (traction battery)
remains without charging while the shift position is in N, or the remaining
charge amount drops below a certain level. If the remaining charge amount
drops further, the buzzer sounds continuously.
OWhen a warning message is shown on the multi-information display and the
buzzer sounds, follow the instructions displayed on the screen to perform
troubleshooting.
QColor of the hybrid battery (traction battery) on the navigation system
screen
It will be green when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged,
and yellow when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is being used.
QColor of the gasoline engine on the navigation system screen
It will be blue when the engine is warming up.

Driving
QBreaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions is recom-
mended:
OFor the first 300 km (200 miles):
Avoid sudden stops.
OFor the first 1000 km (600 miles):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
QOperating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (P. 714)
QFor efficient use
OShift the shift position to D when driving.
In the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gen-
erated. The hybrid battery (traction battery) will discharge, requiring unnec-
essary engine power to charge.
ODrive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and decel-
eration will make more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor)
without having to use gasoline engine power.
OAvoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid battery (traction battery) power,
resulting in poor acceleration. Battery power can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly released.
OShift the shift position to P when parking.
In the N position, the hybrid battery (traction battery) does not charge. Leav-
ing the shift position in the N position for an extended period of time may
discharge the hybrid battery (traction battery). The vehicle cannot run if the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is discharged.
