Driving the vehicle
The following procedures
should be observed to
ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure

2405-1. Before driving
ventional vehicles, and it is neces-
sary to refrain from activities such
as sudden acceleration. Refer to
“Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle driv-
ing tips”. ( P.88)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to
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.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
( P.163)
It is easier to driv e in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to
the ECO Accelerator Guidance dis-
play. Also, by using the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance it is easier to
increase the “Eco Score” evaluation.
●When starting off:
While staying within the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance range, gradually
depress the accelerator pedal and
accelerate to the desired speed. If
excessive acceleration is avoided,
the “Start” score will increase.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance range. By keeping the vehicle
within the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance range, the “C ruise” score will
increase.
●When stopping:
When stopping the vehicle, early releasing the accelerator pedal will
cause the “Stop” sco
re to increase.
■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 message is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 600 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Operating your vehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle
registration laws and confirm the
availability of th e correct fuel.
(  P.601)

tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
