731-4. Hybrid system

For safety and security
*: This function can only be used in
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive, refer to “NAVIGA-
TION AND MULTIMEDIA
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Predictive deceleration sup-
port
 When the vehicle approaches
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the
navigation system, “Refer-
ence operation range” ( ) of
the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance ( P.109) on the multi-
information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.
 The engine braking force will be increased according to the
driving conditions to more effi-
ciently charge the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) after the
accelerator pedal is released.
■Predictive SOC* control
*: SOC means state of charge
The following types of control
are performed based on data
such as road and traffic informa-
tion during route guidance by
the navigation system to help
ensure that the vehicle effi-
ciently uses electricity.

When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) level
before reaching the slope to
help ensure charging capacity
for regenerative braking while
traveling downhill.
 When traffic congestion is
predicted along the route, the
system helps ensure a certain
battery level before reaching
congested roads to reduce
the frequency of starting the
engine to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery) due
to low battery levels.

1984-2. Driving procedures
illumination turns off.
■If the hybrid system does not
start
●The immobilizer system may not
have been deactivated. ( P.79)
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 the 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 -22°F [-30°C])
under the influence of the outside
temperature, it may not be possi-
ble to start the h ybrid 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.
■Sounds and vibrations specific
to a Hybrid Electric Vehicle
 P.72
■If the 12-volt battery is dis-
charged
The hybrid system cannot be
started using the smart key system.
Refer to P.465to re start the hybrid
system.
■Electronic key battery depletion
 P.130
■Conditions affecting operation
 P.152
■Note for the entry function
 P.153
■If there is a malfunction in the
smart key system
If “Smart Key System Malfunction
See Owner’s Manual” is displayed
on the multi-information display, the
system may be malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
■If the “READY” indicator does
not come on
In the event that the “READY” indi-
cator does not come on even after
performing the proper procedures
for starting the vehicle, contact your
Toyota dealer immediately.

Driving
4-4.Refueling
Close all the doors and win-
dows, and turn the power
switch to OFF.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
 P.486
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling,
your vehicle has a fuel tank opening
that only accommodates the spe-
cial nozzle on unle aded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
The fuel tank of your vehicle
has a special structure,
which requires a reduction
in fuel tank pressure before
refueling. After the opener
switch has been pressed, it
will take several seconds
until the vehicle is ready for
refueling.
Before refueling the vehi-
cle
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.

2284-4. Refueling
1Press the opener switch to
open the fuel filler door.
The fuel filler door will open within
about 10 seconds of the switch
being pressed. Before refueling is
possible, a message will be shown
on the multi-information display in
the instrument cluster to indicate
the progress of the fuel filler door
opener.
2Turn the fuel tank cap slowly
to open it and put it into the
holder on the fuel filler door.
■If the fuel filler door cannot be
opened
 P.462
After refueling, turn the fuel tank
cap until you hear a click. Once
the cap is released, it will turn
WARNING
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions
to prevent fuel overflowing from
the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle
into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
●Finish refueling within 30 min-
utes. If more than 30 minutes
passes, the internal valve
closes. In this condition, fuel
may overflow during the refuel-
ing process. Press the fuel filler
door opener switch again.
●Make sure that the fuel filler
door lock is not pushed by the
fuel nozzle boot, etc. If the lock
is held, the internal valve closes
and fuel may overflow. To pre-
vent it, press the fuel filler door
opener switch again.
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehi-
cle, such as causing the emis-
sion control system to operate
abnormally or damaging fuel
system components or the vehi-
cle’s painted surface.

slightly in the opposite direction.
■When “Check Fuel Cap” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display
The fuel tank cap may be unfas-
tened or loose. Turn the power
switch to OFF, check the cap and
tighten it securely. If the message
remains, wait a few seconds and
then turn the power switch to OFF
once again.
WARNING
■When replacing the fuel tank
cap
Do not use anything but a genu-
ine Toyota fuel tank cap designed
for your vehicle. Doing so may
cause a fire or other incident
which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
NOTICE
■When refueling
When refueling your vehicle,
make sure that the fuel filler door
lock is not pushed by the fuel noz-
zle boot, etc., as this may cause a
valve to close, possibly resulting
in a fuel spill.
If the fuel filler door lock has been
pushed, operate the fuel filler door
opener switch in the vehicle
before continuing to refuel.
