■Rear seat reminder function
In order to remind you not to forget
luggage, etc. in the rear seat, when
the power switch is turned off after
any of the following conditions are
met, a buzzer will sound and a mes-
sage will be displayed on the
multi-information di splay for approx-
imately 6 seconds.
●The hybrid system is started
within approximately 10 minutes
after opening and closing a rear
door.
●A rear door has been opened and
closed after the hybrid system
was started.
However, if a rear door is opened
and then closed within approxi-
mately 2 seconds , the rear seat
reminder function may not operate.
The rear seat rem inder function
determines that luggage, etc. has
been placed in a rear seat based on
opening and closing of a rear door.

WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions
while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a
door opening and an occupant
being thrown out o f the vehicle,
resulting in death o r serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are prop-
erly closed and locked.
●Do not pull the inside door han-
dle while driving.
Be especially careful of the front
doors, as the doors may be
opened even if the inside lock
buttons are in the locked posi-
tion.
●Set the rear door child-protector
locks when children are seated
in the rear seats.
■When opening or closing a
door
Check the surroundings of the
vehicle such as wh ether the vehi-
cle is on an incline, whether there
is enough space for a door to
open and whether a strong wind
is blowing. When opening or clos-
ing the door, hold the door handle
tightly to prepare for any unpre-
dictable movement.
■When using the wireless
remote control or the key and
operating the power win-
dows or moon roof (if

methods, use the mechanical key.
( P.408)
If the hybrid system cannot be
started using the smart key system,
refer to P.409.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too
close to the center of the rear
bumper when the trunk is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, rear package tray or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the hybrid system
is started or power switch modes
are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electro nic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the hybrid system if the
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a

the door handle, such as in the
rain or in a car wash when the
electronic key is within the effec-
tive range. (The doors will auto-
matically be locked after
approximately 60 seconds if the
doors are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors when the
electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possib ility that the door
may not be unlocke d by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unloc k the doors.)
●If the doors have been locked
from outside of the vehicle and are
then not unlocked using the wire-
less remote contr ol or smart key
system, the hybri d system cannot
be started using the smart key
system. (However, if the doors
have been locked from inside the
vehicle, the hybrid system can be
started using the smart key sys-
tem.)
If it is necessary to start the hybrid
system, it can be started using the
procedure in “If the electronic key
dose not operate properly”
( P.409).
●Touching the door lock or unlock
sensor while wearing gloves may
prevent lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock op eration is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recogniti on signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective ran ge, the door may
lock and unlock repeatedly. In that
case, follow the fo llowing correc-
tion procedures to wash the vehi-
cle:
• Place the electronic key in a loca-
tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from
the vehicle. (Take care to ensure
that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to bat- tery-saving mode to disable the smart key system. (
P.137)
●If the electronic key is inside the
vehicle and a door handle
becomes wet during a car wash, a
message may be shown on the
multi-information display and a
buzzer will sound outside the vehi-
cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all
the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work
properly if it comes into contact
with ice, snow, m ud, etc. Clean
the lock sensor and attempt to
operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a
handle operation immediately
after entering the effective range
may prevent the doors from being
unlocked. Touch the door unlock
sensor and check that the doors
are unlocked befo re pulling the
door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in
the detection area, it may take
slightly longer to unlock the doors
after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven
for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do
not leave the electronic key within
6 ft. (2 m) of the vehicle.
●The smart key system can be
deactivated in advance. ( P.442)
●Setting the electronic key to bat-
tery-saving mode helps to reduce
key battery depletion. ( P.137)
■To operate the system properly
●Make sure to carry the electronic
key when operating the system.
Do not get the electronic key too
close to the vehicle when operat-
ing the system from the outside of
the vehicle.
Depending on the position and hold-
ing condition of the electronic key,

rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■Restraining the hybrid system
output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
●A warning messag e is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
( P.104)
Eco-friendly driving may be
achieved more easily by staying
within the zone of Eco acceleration.
Also, by staying w ithin the zone of
Eco acceleration, i t will be easier to
obtain a good Eco score.
●When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator
pedal to stay withi n the zone of Eco
acceleration 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 accelera-
tor pedal early before decelerating,
a good eco stop score will be
obtained.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●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 at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Operating your v ehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle
registration laws and confirm the
availability of the correct fuel.
( P.421)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indica tor is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if you are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a
difficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
