1-5.Theft deterrent system
The indicator light flashes after 
the power switch has been 
turned off to indicate that the 
system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing 
after the power switch has been 
turned to ACC or ON to indicate 
that the system has been can-
celed.
■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free 
type immobilizer system.
■Conditions that may cause the 
system to malfunction
●If the grip portion  of the key is in 
contact with a  metallic object
●If the key is in close proximity to or 
touching a key to the security sys-
tem (key with a built-in transpon-
der chip) of another vehicle
■Certification
 P. 6 1 1
Immobilizer system
The vehicle’s keys have 
built-in transponder chips 
that prevent the hybrid sys-
tem from starting if a key 
has not been previously 
registered in the vehicle’s 
on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside 
the vehicle when you leave 
the vehicle.
This system is designed to 
help prevent vehicle theft 
but does not guarantee 
absolute security against all 
vehicle thefts.
Operating the system
NOTICE
■To ensure the system oper-
ates correctly
Do not modify or remove the sys-
tem. If modified or removed, the 
proper operation  of the system 
cannot be guaranteed. 

1303-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and tailgate
Owners Manual_USA_M0C031_en
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak 
radio waves. In the following situa-
tions, the communication between 
the electronic key and the vehicle 
may be affected, preventing the 
smart key system, wireless remote 
control and immobilizer system from 
operating properly. (Ways of coping: 
 P.527)
●When the electronic key battery is 
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power 
plant, gas station , radio station, 
large display, airpo rt or other facil-
ity that generates strong radio 
waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, 
cellular phone, cordless phone or 
other wireless communication 
device
●When the electronic key is in con-
tact with, or is covered by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which al uminum foil is 
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi- num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that 
emit radio waves) are being used 
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key 
together with the following devices 
that emit radio waves
• Another electronic key or a wire- less key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal 
digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic con-
tent or metallic objects are 
attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed 
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a 
pay parking spot where radio 
waves are emitted.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is 
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not 
operate properly in the following 
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to  the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high 
place when the doors are locked 
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the 
ground or in a high place, or too 
close to the center of the rear 
bumper.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, or floor, or in the door 
pockets or glove box when the 
hybrid system is started or power 
switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on 
top of the instrument panel or near 
the door pockets when exiting the 
vehicle. Depending on the radio 
wave reception conditions, it may 
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the doors will 
become lockable from the outside, 
possibly trapping the electronic 
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is 
within the effective range, the 
doors may be locked or unlocked 
by anyone. However, only the 
doors detecting the electronic key 
can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electro nic key is not 
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the hybrid system if the 
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a 
large amount of water splashes on 
the door handle, such as in the 
rain or in a car wash, when the 
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The  doors will auto-
matically be locked after 
approximately 60 seconds if the

Driving
4-2.Driving procedures
1 Pull the parking brake switch

brake is set. ( P.205)
The parking brake indicator will 
come on.
2Check that the shift lever is in 
P.
3 Firmly depress the brake 
pedal.
 and a message  will be dis-
played on the multi-information dis-
play. 
If it is not displayed, the hybrid sys-
tem cannot be started.
4 Press the power switch 
shortly and firmly.
When operating the power switch, 
one short, firm press is enough. It is 
not necessary to press and hold the 
switch.
If the “READY” indicator turns on, 
the hybrid system will operate nor-
mally.
Continue depressing the brake 
pedal until the “READY” indicator is 
illuminated.
The hybrid system can be started  from any power switch mode.
5
Check that the “READY” indi-
cator is illuminated.
The vehicle cannot  be driven if the 
“READY” indicator is off.
■If the hybrid system does not 
start
●The immobilizer system may not 
have been deactivated. ( P. 8 1 )  
Contact your Toyota dealer.
●If a message related to start-up is 
shown on the multi-information 
display, read the message and fol-
low the instructions.
■When the ambient temperature 
is low, such as during winter 
driving conditions
●When starting th e hybrid system, 
the flashing time of the “READY” 
indicator may be long. Leave the 
vehicle as it is until the “READY” 
indicator is steady on, as steady 
means the vehicle is able to move.
●When the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) is extremely cold (below 
approximately -31°F [-35°C]) 
under the influenc e of the outside 
temperature, it ma y not be possi-
ble to start the hybrid system. In 
this case, try to start the hybrid 
system again after the tempera-
ture of the hybrid battery 
increases due to the outside tem-
perature increase, etc.
●When the outside temperature is 
extremely cold, the  hybrid system 
may be started by starter motor.
