Driving
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
● Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same tim e during
driving, as this may restrain the hybrid system output.
● Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■ When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake and shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so
may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate sud denly if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■ Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
● Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and ho ld it there for
an extended period of time.
Doing so may damage the power steering.
● When driving over bumps on the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside 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 vehi-
cle.
● 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. 513)
■ When encountering flooded roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. D oing so may
cause the following serious damage 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 i s flooded, be
sure to have your Toyota dealer 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-

■Sound generated during operation
Operation sounds may be heard when the power supply switch is p ressed to
turn the wireless charger on, when the power switch is pressed to change to
ACCESSORY or ON mode while the wireless charger is on, or when a porta-
ble device is being detected. This does not indicate a malfunct ion.
■ Situations in which the wireless charger may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the wireless charger may not opera te correctly:
● When a portable device is fully charged
● When a portable device is being charged by a wired connection.
● When there is foreign matter between the charging area and portable device
● When the temperature of a portable device becomes high while ch arging
● When the temperature near the charging tray is 95°F (35°C) or m ore due to
being in direct sunlight, etc.
● When a portable device is placed with its charging surface faci ng up
● When a portable device is not centered on the charging area
● When a portable device is larger than the charging tray
● When a foldable portable device is placed outside of the chargi ng area
● When the vehicle is near a TV tower, electric power plant, fuel station, radio
station, large display, airport, or other facility that generat es strong radio
waves or electrical noise
● When the any of the following objects, with a thickness of 0.08 in. (2 mm) or
more, are between the charging surface of a portable device and the
charging area:
• Thick cases or covers
• Thick decorations
• Accessories, such as finger rings, straps, etc.
● When the portable device is in contact with, or is covered by a ny of the fol-
lowing metallic objects:
• Cards covered with metal, such as aluminum foil
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Heat packs
• Recorded media such as CDs and DVDs
• Metallic decorations
• Metallic cases or covers
● When wireless keys (that emit radio waves) other than those of your vehicle
are being used nearby
● When 2 or more portable devices are placed on the charging tray at the

■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
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to sat -
isfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: ILSAC GF-6B multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good start-
ing in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available, SAE
0W-20 oil may be used. However,
it must be replaced with SAE 0W-
16 at the next oil change.
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil which allows cold
startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow for ea sier starting of
the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the oil when the
oil is at high temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or
under extreme load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.
