trip meter is displayed, pressing 
and holding the switch will reset 
the trip meter.
WARNING
For example, there is a lag 
between the driver’s shifting and 
the new gear number appearing 
on the display. This lag could 
cause the driver to downshift 
again, causing rapid and exces-
sive engine braking and possibly 
an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
●Do not let the i ndicator needle 
of the tachomete r enter the red 
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating 
if the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge is in the red zone 
(H). In this case, immediately 
stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it 
has cooled completely. 
(  P.535)
■Voltmeter
When the voltmeter indicates 19 
V or higher or 9 V  or lower while 
the hybrid system is operating, 
there may be a 12- volt battery or 
charging system malfunction. 
Have the vehicle inspected at 
your Toyota dealer.
■Engine oil pressure gauge
When the value of the engine oil 
pressure gauge drops while the 
engine is running, stop the vehicle 
in a safe place immediately and 
check the amoun t of engine oil. 
(  P.458)
When the oil pressure drops even 
though the engine oil amount has 
not decreased, or i f the oil pres-
sure does not increase when 
engine oil is added, contact your 
Toyota dealer, as there may be a 
problem with the lubrication sys-
tem.

Driving
brakes too frequently. This 
could cause the brakes to 
overheat and result in 
reduced braking efficiency.
 Due to the added load of the 
trailer, your vehicle’s hybrid 
system may overheat on hot 
days (at temperatures over 
85°F [30°C]) when driving up 
a long or steep grade. If the 
engine coolant temperature 
gauge indicates overheating, 
immediately turn off the air 
conditioning (if in use), pull 
your vehicle off the road and 
stop in a safe spot. ( P.535)
 Always place wheel blocks 
under both the vehicle’s and 
the trailer’s wheels when 
parking. Apply the parking 
brake firmly, and put the 
transmission in P. Avoid park-
ing on a slope, but if unavoid-
able, do so only after 
performing the following:
1 Apply the brakes and keep 
them applied.
2 Have someone place wheel 
blocks under both the vehi-
cle’s and trailer’s wheels.
3 When the wheel blocks are in 
place, release the brakes 
slowly until the blocks absorb 
the load.
4 Apply the parking brake 
firmly.
5 Shift into P and turn off the 
hybrid system. 
When restarting after parking 
on a slope:
1 With the transmission in P, 
start the hybrid system. Be 
sure to keep the brake pedal 
pressed.
2 Shift into a forward gear. If 
reversing, shift into R.
3 If the parking brake is in man-
ual mode, release the park-
ing brake. ( P.205)
4 Release the brake pedal, and 
slowly pull or back away from 
the wheel blocks. Stop and 
apply the brakes.
5 Have someone retrieve the 
blocks.
■Break-in schedule
If your vehicle is new or equipped 
with any new power train compo-
nents (such as an engine, transmis-
sion, transfer [4WD models], rear 
differential or wheel bearing), Toyota 
recommends that y ou do not tow a 
trailer until the vehicle has been 
driven for over 500  miles (800 km).
After the vehicle has been driven for 
over 500 miles (800 km), you can 
start towing. However, for the next 
500 miles (800 km), drive the vehi-
cle at a speed of less than 50 mph 
(80 km/h) when towing a trailer, and 
avoid full throttle acceleration.
■Maintenance
●If you tow a trailer, your vehicle 
will require more fr equent mainte-
nance due to the additional load. 
(See “Owner’s Warranty Informa-
tion Booklet” or “Scheduled Main-
tenance Guide” / “Owner’s Manual 
Supplement”.)
●Retighten the fixing bolts of the 
towing ball and bracket after
