Driving
When the following unusual operation is performed with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed, the hybrid system output may be restrained .
• When the shift leve r is shifted to R
*.
• When the shift lever is shifted from P or R to forward drive s hift
position such as D
*.
When the system operates, a me ssage appears on the multi-inform a-
tion display. Read the message and follow the instruction.
*: Depending on the situation, the shift position may not be chan ged.
■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 304)
■ For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar to conventional vehicles, and it
is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. ( P. 357)
■ Coasting (Auto Glide Control)
When Eco drive mode is selected, under certain conditions, Auto Glide Con-
trol will operate automatically and allow the vehicle coast, en hancing fuel
economy. ( P. 356)
■ Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the r ain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properl y.
■ Restraining hybrid system out put (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
hybrid system output may be restrained.
● A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
Sudden start restraint contro l (Drive-Start Control [DSC])

1944-1. Before driving
■ECO Accelerator Guidance ( P. 123)
Eco-friendly driving may be achieved more easily by staying wit hin the zone
of Eco acceleration. Also, by staying within the zone of Eco ac celeration, it
will be easier to obtain a good Eco score.
● When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal to stay within the zone of Eco accel-
eration and accelerate to the desired speed. By refraining from excessive
acceleration, a good eco start score will be obtained.
● When driving:
After accelerating to the desired speed, release the accelerator pedal and
drive at a stable speed while staying within the zone of Eco acceleration. By
staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, a good eco cruise score will be
obtained.
● When stopping:
By starting to release the accelerator pedal early before dece lerating, a good
eco stop score will be obtained.
■ Drive-Start Control (DSC)
When the TRAC is turned off ( P. 305), sudden start restraint control also
does not operate. If your vehicle have trouble escaping from th e mud or fresh
snow due to sudden start restraint control operation, deactivat e TRAC (P.
305) so that the vehicle may become able to escape from the mud or fresh
snow.
■ Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following prec autions is recom-
mended:
● For the first 186 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
● For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 546)
■ Eco-friendly driving
P. 123, 138

2104-2. Driving procedures
■When a message requesting the smart key system be inspected is dis-
played on the multi-information display
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
■ When “Check Fuel Cap” is displayed on the multi-information display
P. 245
■ If the “READY” indicator does not come on
In the event that the “READY” indicator does not come on even a fter perform-
ing the proper procedures for starting the vehicle, contact you r Toyota dealer
immediately.
■ If the hybrid system is malfunctioning
P. 83
■ If the electronic key battery is depleted
P. 470
■ Operation of the power switch
●If the switch is not pressed shortly and firmly, the power switch mode may
not change or the hybrid system may not start.
● If attempting to restart the hybrid system immediately after tu rning the power
switch off, the hybrid system may not start in some cases. After turning the
power switch off, wait a few seconds before restarting the hybrid system.
■ If the smart key system has been d eactivated in a customized setting
P. 527

2144-2. Driving procedures
■Switching to EV drive mode whe n the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is started while the gasoline engine is cold, the gasoline
engine will start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm up.
In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV drive mode .
After the hybrid system has started and the “READY” indicator h as illumi-
nated, press the EV drive mode switch before the gasoline engin e starts to
switch to EV drive mode.
■ Automatic cancelation of EV drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the gasoline engine may automati cally restart
in the following situations. When EV drive mode is canceled, a buzzer will
sound and the EV drive mode indicator will flash and go off.
● The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the energy monitor on the multi-
information display is low. ( P. 142)
● Vehicle speed is high.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill etc.
■ Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
EV drive mode’s possible driving distance ranges from a few hun dred meters
to approximately 0.9 miles (1 km). However, depending on vehicle conditions,
there are situations when EV drive mode cannot be used.
(The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [t raction battery]
level and driving conditions.)
■ Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy
during normal driving (using the gasoline engine and electric m otor [traction
motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
■ If “EV Mode Unavailable” is shown on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode is not available. The reason the EV drive mod e is not
available (the vehicle is idling, battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher
than the EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator ped al is
depressed too much) may be displayed. Use the EV drive mode whe n it
becomes available.
■ If “EV Mode Deactivated” is shown on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode has been automatically canceled. The reason t he EV
drive mode is not available (the battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher
than the EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator ped al is
depressed too much) may be displayed. Drive the vehicle for a while before
attempting to turn on the EV drive mode again.
