*1: If the shift lever is in a position
other than P or the shift lever
button is pressed when turning
off the hybrid system, the power
switch will be tur ned to ACC, not
to off.
*2: ACC mode can be enabled/dis- abled on the customize menu.

■Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACC for more
than 20 minutes or ON (the hybrid
system is not operating) for more
than an hour with the shift lever is in
P or the shift leve r button is not
pressed, the power switch will auto-
matically turn off. However, this
function cannot entirely prevent
12-volt battery discharge. Do not
leave the vehicle with the power
switch in ACC or ON for long peri-
ods of time when the hybrid system
is not operating.
■When ACC customization is in
off
●With the power switch is turned
off, the multimedia system can still
be used for a certain time until the
battery saving function starts
operating.
WARNING
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the hybrid system operating for
a long time. If such a situation
cannot be avoided, park the
vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do
not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the hybrid system
operating in an area with snow
build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the hybrid sys-
tem is operating, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.

to D for normal driving.
*2: By selecting shift ranges using S mode, you can control accelerat-
ing force and engine braking
force.

WARNING
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears
suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine brak-
ing may cause the vehicle to spin
or skid, resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) will not
be charged even when the engine
is running. Therefore, if the vehi-
cle is left with the shift lever in N
for a long period of time, the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
will discharge, and this may result
in the vehicle not being able to
start.
Shifting the shift lever
1844-2. Driving procedures
1Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
(If equipped) is operated.
The selected gear step, from S1 to
S6, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
■Downshift restriction warning
buzzer (S mode or paddle shift-
ing(If equipped))
To help ensure safety and driving
performance, downshifting opera-
tion may sometimes b e restricted. In
some circumstances, downshifting
may not be possible even when the
shift lever or paddle shift switches (If
equipped) are operated. (A buzzer
will sound twice.)
■S mode
●When the shift range is S4 or
lower, holding the shift lever
toward “+” sets the shift range to
S6.
●To prevent the engine from
over-revving, upshifting may auto-
matically occur.
■If the S indicator does not come
on or the D indicator is dis-
played even after shifting the
shift lever to S
This may indicate a malfunction in
the transmission system. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
(In this situation , the transmission
will operate in the same manner as
when the shift lever is in D.)

to enable the Automatic High Beam
system again.
■Changing to the low beams
Press the Automatic High Beam
switch.
The AHB indicator will turn off.
Press the switch to enable the
Automatic High Beam system
again.
It is recommended to switch to
the low beams when use of the
high beams is inappropriate or
when the high beams may
cause problems or distress to
other drivers or pedestrians
nearby.
Pull the lever rearward and then
return it to its original position.
The high beams will illuminate
while the lever is p ulled, however,
after the lever is returned to its orig-
inal position, the low beams will
remain on for a certain amount of
time. After this, the Automatic High
Beam system will operate.

cle which was traveling in the
same direction as the vehicle and continues straight
• When at an intersection, the approaching crossing vehicle is
long in overall length, such as a
large truck, towin g trailer, etc.
●In addition to the preceding, in
certain situations, such as the fol-
lowing, the emergency steering
assist may not operate properly:
• When a detectable object is too
close to the vehicle
• When there is insufficient space to perform evasive steering maneu-
vers or an obstruction exists in the
evasion direction
• When there is an oncoming vehi-
cle
The pre-collision system can
be enabled/disabled through
a customize setting. ( P.463)
The system is enabled each time
the power switch is turned to ON.
When the system is disabled,
the PCS warning light will illu-
minate and a message will be
displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
The pre-collision setting can
be changed on the customize
settings. ( P.463)

emergency steering assist
timing will also be changed.
When “Later” is selected, the
emergency steering assist will
not operate in most cases.
When the dynamic radar
cruise control is operating, the
pre-collision warning will
operate at the “Earlier” timing,
regardless of the user setting.
When driving on a road with
clear lane lines with the
dynamic radar cruise control
operating, lane lines and pre-
ceding and surrounding vehi-
cles are detected using the
front camera and radar sen-
sor, and the steering wheel is
operated to maintain the vehi-
cle’s lane position.
Use this function only on highways
and expressways.
If the dynamic radar cruise control
is not operating, the function will not
operate.
In situations where the lane lines
are difficult to see or are not visible,
such as when in a traffic jam, sup-
port will be provided using the path
of preceding and surrounding vehi-
cles.
If the system determines that the
steering wheel has not been oper-
ated for a certain amount of time or
the steering wheel is not being
firmly gripped, the driver will be
alerted and this function will be
temporarily canceled.
If the steering wheel is firmly
gripped, the func tion will begin
operating again.
LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist)
LTA functions

Driving
the following conditions are met:
●The LTA system detects lane lines
or the path of preceding or sur-
rounding vehicles.
●The dynamic radar cruise control
is operating.
●The lane width is approximately
10 to 13 ft. (3 to 4 m).
●The turn signal le ver is not being
operated.
●The vehicle is not being driven
around a sharp curve.
●The vehicle is not accelerating or
decelerating more than a certain
amount.
●The steering wheel is not being
turned with a large force.
●The hands off steering wheel
warning ( P.225) is not operat-
ing.
●The vehicle is being driven in the
center of a lane.
■Temporary cancelation of func-
tions
●When the operating conditions are
no longer met, a function may be
temporarily canceled. However,
when the operation conditions are
met again, operation of the func-
tion will automatically be restored.
( P.224)
●If the operating conditions of a
function are no longer met while
the function is operating, a buzzer
may sound to indicate that the
function has been temporarily
canceled.
●The steering assist operation of
the function can be overridden by
the steering wheel operation of
the driver.
■Lane departure warning func-
tion when the LTA is operating
●Even if the LDA warning method is
changed to vibration of the steer-
ing wheel, if the vehicle deviates
from the lane while the LTA is
operating, the warning buzzer will sound to aler
t the driver.
●If steering wheel operation equiv-
alent to that necessary for a lane
change is detected, the system
will determine the vehicle is not
deviating from the lane and the
warning will not operate.
■Hands off steering wheel warn-
ing operation
●When the system determines the
driver is not hold ing the steering
wheel, a message urging the
driver to grip the steering wheel
and the icon shown in the illustra-
tion will be dis played on the
multi-information display to warn
the driver. If the system detects
that the steering wheel is held, the
warning will be canceled. When
using the system, make sure to
grip the steering wheel firmly,
regardless of whether the warn-
ing is operating or not.
●If no operations are detected for a
certain amount of time, the warn-
ing will operate and the function
will be temporarily canceled. This
warning may also operate if the
driver only operates steering
wheel a small amount continu-
ously.
■Situations in which the hands
off steering wheel warning may
not operate properly
●Depending on the condition of the
vehicle,handle control condition
and road surface, the warning
function may not operate.
