WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure
to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and
before opening the fuel door,
touch an unpainted metal sur-
face to discharge any static
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before
refueling because sparks result-
ing from static electricity can
cause fuel vapors to ignite while
refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the
fuel tank cap and turn it slowly
to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be
heard when the f uel tank cap is
loosened. Wait until the sound
cannot be heard before fully
removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may
spray out of the filler neck and
cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has
not discharged static electricity
from their body to come close to
an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that
are harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to
ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or
touch any person or object that
is statically charged. This may
cause static electricity to build
up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.

3584-5. Using the driving support systems
1Eco drive mode
Suitable for driving to improve fuel
economy by more smoothly gener-
ating torque in response to acceler-
ator pedal operations compared to
normal mode and restraining air
conditioning system operations
(heating/cooling).
When the switch is turned to the left
while not in Eco drive mode, the
system switches to Eco drive mode
and the Eco drive mode indicator
illuminates on the mu lti-information
display.
2 Normal mode
Suitable for n ormal driving.
The driving mode returns to normal
mode if the switch i s pressed while
in Eco drive mode or sport mode.
3 Sport mode
Controls the steering feeling and
hybrid system to create an acceler-
ation response tha t is suitable for
sporty driving. Suitable for when
crisp handling is desired, such as
when driving on mountainous
roads.
When the switch is turned to the
right while not in sport mode, the
system switches to sport mode and
the sport mode indicator illuminates
on the multi-information display.
■When changing to a driving
mode other than normal mode

3604-5. Using the driving support systems
If the tires are spinning, the slip
indicator flashes to indicate that
the Trail Mode is controlling the
spinning of the tires.
■Trail Mode
●Trail Mode controls the vehicle so
that it can use the maximum
amount of drive force when driving
on rough roads.
As a result, fuel efficiency may
diminish when compared to driv-
ing with Trail Mode off.
●If Trail Mode is continuously used
for a long period of time, depend-
ing on the driving conditions, the
load on related parts increases
and the system may not function
correctly.
In this case, “Traction Control
Turned OFF” will be shown on the
multi-information display but the
vehicle can be driven normally.
The “Traction Control Turned OFF” on the multi-
information dis-
play will turn off after a short while
and the system will operate prop-
erly.
■When Trail Mode is canceled
In the following situations, Trail
Mode is automatically canceled
even if it is selected:
●When the driving mode is
changed. ( P.358)
●When the hybrid system is
restarted.
■Sounds and vibrations when
driving in Trail Mode
Any of the following conditions may
occur when Trail Mode is operating.
None of these indicates that a mal-
function has occurred:
●Vibrations may be felt throughout
the vehicle or steering
●Sounds may be heard from the
engine compartment
■When the Trail Mode indicator
does not illuminate
When the Trail Mode indicator does
not illuminate even though the Trail
Mode switch is pressed, the system
may be malfunctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
When the Trail Mode is
operating

4-6.Driving tips
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. (P.358)
The Eco-friendly driving is pos-
sible by keeping the indicator of
Hybrid System Indicator within
Eco area. ( P.93, 98)
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driv-
ing in heavy traffic etc. Shift the
shift lever to P when parking.
When using the N position,
there is no positive effect on fuel
consumption. In the N position,
the gasoline engine operates
but electricity cannot be gener-
ated. Also, when using the air conditioning system, etc., the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
power is consumed.

Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accel-
eration and deceleration will
make more effective use of
the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power, resulting
in poor fuel consumption. Bat-
tery power can be restored by
driving with the accelerator
pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to
bad fuel economy. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
