●When the safe exit assist is oper-
ating, a buzzer will sound and a
voice guidance will be given.
(vehicles with safe exit assist)
If the hybrid system is stopped
when the shift lever is in a posi-
tion other than P or the shift
lever button is pressed, the
power switch will not be turned
off but instead be turned to
ACC. Perform the following pro-
cedure to turn the switch off:
1Check that the parking brake
is set.
2 Shift the shift lever to P.
Do not press the shift lever button
after shifting the shit position to P.
3Check that “ACCESSORY” is
displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and press the
power switch shortly and
firmly. 4
Check that “ACCESSORY”
or “IGNITION ON” on the
multi-information display are
off.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
●Do not leave the power switch
in ACC or ON for long periods of
time without the hybrid system
on.
●If “ACCESSORY” or “IGNITION
ON” is displayed on the
multi-informatio n display, the
power switch is not off. Exit the
vehicle after turning the power
switch off.

NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not stop the hybrid system
with the shift lever in a position
other P or the shift lever button
pressed. If the hybrid system is
stopped with the shift lever in a
position other than P or the shift
lever button pressed, the power
switch will not be turned off but
instead be turned to ACC mode. If
the vehicle is left in ACC, 12-volt

Driving
Turns EV drive mode on/off
When EV drive mode is turned on,
the EV drive mode indicator will
come on. Pressing the switch when
in EV drive mode will return the
vehicle to normal driving (using the
gasoline engine and electric motor
[traction motor]).
■Situations in which EV drive
mode cannot be turned on
It may not be po ssible to turn EV
drive mode on in t he following situa-
tions. If it cannot be turned on, a buzzer will sound
and a message
will be shown on the multi-informa-
tion display.
●The temperature of the hybrid sys-
tem is high.
The vehicle has been left in the
sun, driven on a hill, driven at high
speeds, etc.
●The temperature of the hybrid sys-
tem is low.
The vehicle has been left in tem-
peratures lower than about 68°F
(20°C ) for a long period of time
etc.
●The gasoline engine is warming
up.
●The hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is low.
The remaining batt ery level indi-
cated in the energy monitor dis-
play is low. ( P.107)
●Vehicle speed is high.
●The accelerator pedal is
depressed firmly or the vehicle is
on a hill etc.
●The windshield defogger is in use.
■Switching to EV drive mode
when the gasoline engine is
cold
If the hybrid system is started while
the gasoline engine is cold, the gas-
oline engine will st art automatically
after a short period of time in order
to warm up.I n this case, you will
become unable to switch to EV drive
mode.
After the hybrid s ystem has started
and the “READY” indicator has illu-
minated, press the EV drive mode
switch before the gasoline engine
starts to switch to EV drive mode.
■Automatic cancelation of EV
drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the
gasoline engine may start automati-
cally and the vehic le may be driven
by the gasoline engine and electric
motor (traction motor) in the follow-
ing situations. When EV drive mode
EV drive mode
In EV drive mode, electric
power is supplied by the
hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery), and only the electric
motor (traction motor) is
used to drive the vehicle.
This mode allows you to
drive in residential areas
early in the morning and
late at night, or in indoor
parking lots etc. without
concern for noises and gas
emissions.

is canceled, a buzzer will sound, the
EV drive mode indicator will flash,
and a message will be displayed on
the multi-information display.
●The hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) becomes low.
The remaining battery level indi-
cated in the energy monitor dis-
play is low. ( P.107)
●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 hundred
meters to approxima tely 0.6 mile (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 [trac-
tion battery] level and driving condi-
tions.)
■Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to
achieve the best possible fuel econ-
omy during normal driving (using
the gasoline engi ne and electric
motor [traction motor]). Driving in
EV drive mode more than neces-
sary may lower fuel economy.
■If “EV Mode Unavailable” is
shown on the multi-information
display
The EV drive mode is not available.
The reason the EV drive mode is
not available (the vehicle is idling,
battery charge is low, vehicle speed
is higher than the EV drive mode
operating speed range or accelera-
tor pedal is depressed too much)
may be displayed. Use the EV drive
mode when it becomes available.
■If “EV Mode Deactivated” is
shown on the multi-information
display
The EV drive mode has been auto-
matically canceled. The reason the
EV drive mode is not available (the
battery charge is low, vehicle speed
is higher than the EV drive mode
operating speed r ange or accelera-
tor pedal is depressed too much)
may be displayed. Drive the vehicle
for a while before attempting to turn
on the EV drive mode again.
WARNING
■Caution while driving
When driving in EV drive mode,
pay special attention to the area
around the vehicle. Because
there is no engine noise, pedestri-
ans, people riding bicycles or
other people and vehicles in the
area may not be aware of the
vehicle starting off or approaching
them, so take extra care while
driving. Therefore, take extra care
while driving even if the vehicle
proximity notification system is
active.

To drive using temporary shift
range selection, operate the “-”
paddle shift switch. The shift
range can then be selected by
operating the “-” and “+” paddle
shift switches. Changing the
shift range allows restriction of
the highest gear, preventing
upshifting and enabling the level
of engine braking force to be
selected. 1
Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to
D6, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
■When the “-” paddle shift
switch is operated with the shift
lever in the D position
The shift range is downshifted to a
range that enables engine braking
force that is suitable to driving con-
ditions.
■Automatic deactivation of shift
range selection in the D posi-
tion
Shift range selection in the D posi-
tion will be deactivated in the follow-
ing situations:
●The “+” paddle shift switch is held
down for a period of time
●When the vehicle comes to a stop
●If the accelerator pedal is
depressed for more than a certain
period of time
●When the shift lever is shifted to a
position other than D
When the shift lever is in the S
position, the shift lever or paddle
shift switches (If equipped) can
be operated as follows:
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. Theref ore, if the vehi-
cle is left with the shift lever in N
for a long period of time, the
hybrid battery (tr action battery)
will discharge, and this may result
in the vehicle n ot being able to
start.

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.)
