Driving
■Active Cornering Assist opera-
tion sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assist is
operated, operation sounds and
vibrations may b e generated from
the brake system, but this is not a
malfunction.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is oper-
ated, a motor sound (whirring
sound) may be heard. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■Automatic reactivation of TRAC
and VSC systems
After turning the TRAC and VSC
systems off, the systems will be
automatically re-enabled in the fol-
lowing situations:
●When the power switch is turned
off
●If only the TRAC system is turned
off, the TRAC will turn on when
vehicle speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC sys-
tems are turned off, automatic
re-enabling will not occur when
vehicle speed increases.
■Operating conditions of Active
Cornering Assist
The system operates when the fol-
lowing occurs.
●TRAC/VSC can operate
●The driver is at tempting to accel-
erate while turning
●The system detects that the vehi-
cle is drifting to the outer side
●The brake pedal is released
■Reduced effectiveness of the
EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS sys-
tem is reduced to prevent the sys-
tem from overheating when there is
frequent steering input over an
extended period of time. The steer-
ing wheel may feel heavy as a
result. Should this occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or
stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system off. The EPS system should
return to normal within 10 minutes.
■Secondary Collision Brake
operating conditions
The system operates when the SRS
airbag sensor detects a collision
while the vehicle is in motion.
However, the system does not oper-
ate when the components are dam-
aged.
■Secondary Collision Brake
automatic cancellation
The system is automatically can-
celed in any of th e following situa-
tions.
●The vehicle speed drops below
approximately 0 mph (0 km/h)
●A certain amount of time elapses
during operation
●The accelerator pedal is
depressed a large amount
WARNING
■The ABS does not operate
effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping perfor-
mance have been exceeded
(such as excessively worn tires
on a snow covered road).
●The vehicle hydroplanes while
driving at high speed on wet or
slick roads.
■Stopping distance when the
ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The ABS is not designed to
shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from the veh icle in front of
you, especially in the following sit-
uations:
●When driving on dirt, gravel or
snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains

Driving
4-6.Driving tips
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. (P.283)
The Eco-friendly driving is pos-
sible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within
Eco area. ( P.93, 100)
Shift the shift lever to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driv-
ing in heavy traffic etc. Shift the
shift lever to P when parking.
When using the N, there is no
positive effect on fuel consump-
tion. In the N, the gasoline
engine operates but electricity
cannot be generated. Also,
when using the air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con-
sumed.

Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accel-
eration and deceleration will
make more effective use of
the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.
 Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power, resulting
in poor fuel consumption. Bat-
tery power can be restored by
driving with the accelerator
pedal slightly released.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to
bad fuel economy. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.

ical driving, pay attention to

Interior features
■Heated steering wheel
Turns heated steering wheel
on/off
When the heated steering wheel is
on, the indicator illuminates on the
heated steering wheel switch.
■Seat heaters
Turns seat heaters on/off
1 High temperature
2 Low temperature
When the seat hea ter is on, the
indicator illumina tes on the seat
heater switch.
When not in use, put the switch in
the neutral position. The indicator
will turn off.
■The heated steering wheel and
seat heaters can be used when
The power swit ch is in ON.
Operation instructionsWARNING
■To prevent overheating and
minor burn injuries
Observe the following precautions
when using the seat heaters.
●Do not cover the seat with a
blanket or cushion when using
the seat heater.
●Do not use seat heater more
than necessary.

4387-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge enters the red
zone or “Engine Coolant
Temp High Stop in a Safe
Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-informa-
tion display
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe
place and turn off the air con-
ditioning system, and then
stop the hybrid system.
2 If you see steam: Carefully lift
the hood after the steam sub- sides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
3 After the hybrid system has
cooled down, inspect the
hoses and radiator core (radi-
ator) for any leaks.
Radiator
Cooling fans
If a large amount of coolant leaks,
immediately contact your Toyota
dealer.
4The coolant level is satisfac-
tory if it is between the “MAX”
and “MIN” lines on the reser-
voir.
Reservoir
“MAX” line
“MIN” line
5 Add coolant if necessary.
If your vehicle over-
heats
The following may indicate
that your vehicle is over-
heating.
The engine coolant tem-
perature gauge ( P.84, 87)
is in the red zone or a loss
of hybrid system power is
experienced. (For example,
the vehicle speed does not
increase.)
 “Engine Coolant Temp High
Stop in a Safe Place See
Owner’s Manual” or “Hybrid
system overheated Output
power reduced” is shown on
the multi-information dis-
play.
 Steam comes out from
under the hood.
