4-1. Before driving
Driving
When the following unusual opera-
tion is performed with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed, the hybrid
system output may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted to
R*.
• When the shift lever is shifted
from P or R to forward drive shift
position such as D*.
When the system operates, a mes-
sage appears on the multi-informa-
tion display. Read the message and
follow the instruction.
*: Depending on the situation, the shift
position may not be changed.
■Drive-Start Control (DSC)
When the TRC is turned off ( P.278),
sudden start restraint control also does not operate. If your vehicle have trouble escaping from the mud or fresh snow
due to sudden start restraint control operation, deactivate TRC ( P.278) so that the vehicle may become able to
escape from the mud or fresh snow.
NOTICE
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully
in either direction and hold it there for an extended period of time.Doing so may damage the power
steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the
road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid damaging the wheels, under-side of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the
following situations. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the
vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnormally.
Information on what to do in case of a flat tire ( P.386, 397)
■When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain, etc. Doing so may cause the following serious dam-
age to the vehicle:
●Engine stalling
●Short in electrical components
●Engine damage caused by water immersion
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle becomes flooded or stuck in mud or
sand, be sure to have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer check
the following:
●Brake function
●Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, hybrid transmission, etc.
●Lubricant condition for the bearings and suspension joints (where possi-
ble), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.

“ON”. ( P.431) • Vehicle speed is approximately 50
km/h (32 mph) or more. • Width of traffic lane is approximately 3 m (9.8 ft.) or more.
• No system malfunctions are detected. ( P.229)
●Lane centering function
This function operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
• LTA is turned on.
• Setting for “Lane Center” in of the
multi-information display is set to “ON”
( P.431) • This function recognizes white (yel- low) lane lines or the position of a pre-
ceding vehicle (except when the preceding vehicle is small, such as a motorcycle).
• The dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range is operating in vehi-cle-to-vehicle distance control mode.
• Width of traffic lane is approximately 3 to 4 m (10 to 13 ft.).• Turn signal lever is not operated.
• Vehicle is not being driven around a sharp curve.• No system malfunctions are detected.
( P.229) • Vehicle does not accelerate or decel-erate by a fixed amount or more.
• Steering wheel is not operated with a steering force level suitable for chang-ing lanes.
• ABS, VSC, TRC and PCS are not operating.• TRC or VSC is not turned off.
• Hands off steering wheel warning is not displayed. ( P.228) • The vehicle is being driven in the
center of a lane. • Steering assist function is not operat-ing.

■Oil capacity (Drain and refill
[Reference*])
*: The engine oil capacity is a reference
quantity to be used when changing
the engine oil. Warm up the engine
and turn off the hybrid system, wait
more than 5 minutes, and check the
oil level on the dipstick.
■Engine oil selection
Gasoline Engine
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used
in your Toyota vehicle. Toyota rec-
ommends the use of approved
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”.
Another motor oil of matching qual-
ity can also be used.
Oil grade:
0W-8: JASO GLV-1
0W-16:
API grade SN “Resource-Conserv-
ing”, SN PLUS “Resource-Conserv-
ing” or SP “Resource-Conserving”;
or ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine
oil
0W-20 and 5W-30:
API grade SM “Energy-Conserv-
ing”, SN “Resource-Conserving”,
SN PLUS “Resource-Conserving”
or SP “Resource-Conserving”; or
ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
Preferred
Temperature range anticipated
before next oil change
SAE 0W-8 is filled into your Toyota
vehicle at manufacturing, and the
best choice for good fuel economy
and good starting in cold weather. If
SAE 0W-8 oil is not available, SAE
0W-16 or 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it should be replaced with
SAE 0W-8 at the next oil change.
Oil viscosity (0W-8 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-8 indicates the
characteristic of the oil which
allows cold startability. Oils with a
lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine
in cold weather.
• The 8 in 0W-8 indicates the vis-
cosity characteristic of the oil
when the oil is at high tempera-
ture. An oil with a higher viscos-
ity (one with a higher value) may
be better suited if the vehicle is
