■ Conditions affecting operation
The smart entry & start system uses weak radio waves. In the fo llowing situa-
tions, the communication between the electronic key and the veh icle may be
affected, preventing the smart entry & start system, wireless r emote control
and immobilizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping : P. 744)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio wav es or electrical
noise
● When carrying a portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication device
● When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by the following
metallic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum 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
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wirele ss commu-
nication devices
• Another electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio wave s
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached to the
rear window
● When the electronic key is placed near a battery charger or electronic
devices
● When parking at a meter

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you accidental ly move the
shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or
fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the veh icle is parked in
a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter t he vehicle,
leading to death or a serious health hazard.
■ When braking
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this ma y cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other sid e. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If the electronically controlled assist function does not operate, do not fol-
low other vehicles closely and avoid downhill or sharp turns th at require
braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal sh ould be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance wi ll increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
● The brake system consists of 2 or more individual hydraulic systems; if
one of the systems fails, the other(s) will still operate. In t his case, the
brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking
distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

Toyota parking assist-sensor
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to objects, such as a wall, when
parallel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by
the sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
Types of sensors
Front corner sensors
Front center sensors
Rear corner sensors
Rear center sensors
Front side sensors
(if equipped)
Rear side sensors
(if equipped)

When the Toyota parking assist-sensor function is disabled, the Toyota
parking assist-sensor OFF indicator ( P. 159) illuminates.
Once turned off, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will remain O FF until it
is turned ON again via the screen of the multi-information dis play.
(The system will not automatically turn ON even when the hybrid system
is restarted.)
When the sensors detect an objects, such as a wall, a graphic i s
shown on the multi-information display depending on the positio n and
distance to the objects.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating.
● The buzzer beeps faster as the vehicle approaches an object.
When the vehicle comes within approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of
the object, the buzzer sounds continuously.
● When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer
sounds for the nearest object. If one or more objects come with in
approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of the vehicle, the buzzer will r epeat
a long tone, followed by fast beeps.
● Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding,
if the distance between the vehicle and the detected object doe s
not become shorter, the buzzer will be muted automatically.
(However, if the distance between the vehicle and object is
30 cm (1.0 ft.) or less, this function will not operate.)
■Adjusting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the multi-information dis-
play.
The volume of buzzers for the Toyota parking assist-sensor and
RCTA function (if equipped) will be adjusted simultaneously.
Use the meter control switches to change settings. ( P. 169)
Press “ ” or “” to select .
Press “ ” or “” to select “Vehicle Settings”, and then press .
Press “ ” or “” to select or , and
