For safety and security
*: This function can only be used in
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive, refer to “MULTIME-
DIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Predictive deceleration sup-
port
 When the vehicle approaches
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the
navigation system, the refer-
ence operation range ( ) of
the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance ( P.107) on the multi-
information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.
With 7-inch display:
With 12.3-inch display:
 The engine braking force will
be increased according to the
driving conditions to more effi-
ciently charge the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) after the
accelerator pedal is released.
■Predictive SOC* control
The following types of control
are performed based on data
such as road and traffic informa-
tion during route guidance by
the navigation system to help
ensure that the vehicle effi-
ciently uses electricity.
 When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) level
before reaching the slope to
help ensure charging capacity
for regenerative braking while
traveling downhill.
 When traffic congestion is
predicted along the route, the
system helps ensure a certain
battery level before reaching
congested roads to reduce
the frequency of starting the
engine to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery) due

*: When used in this manual, “regen- eration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement
of the vehicle into electrical
energy.
In the following situation, the Hybrid
System Indicator does not operate.
●“READY” indicator is not illumi-
nated.
●The shift lever is in a range other
than D or S.
■Manually updating the fuel
gauge and possible driving
range
The fuel gauge and the possible
driving range are linked. If the dis-
plays of the fuel gauge and possible
driving range do n ot update after
adding a small amount of fuel, the
displays can be updated by per-
forming the following procedure.
1 Stop the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2 Press the “ODO TRIP” switch to
change the odometer and trip
meter display to odometer.
3 Turn the power switch off.
4 While pressing and holding the
“ODO TRIP” switch, turn the
power switch to ON.

onds, and then release it once
the odometer begins flashing.
Updating is complete once the
odometer flashes for approximately
5 seconds and th en the display
returns to normal.
■Outside temperature display
●In the following si tuations, the cor-
rect outside tempe rature may not
be displayed, or the display may
take longer than normal to
change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 12 mph [20
km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the
entrance/exit of a garage, tunnel,
etc.)
●When “--” or “E” is displayed, the
system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Toyota
dealer.
●Displays the outside temperature
within the range of -40°F (-40°C)
to 122°F (50°C).
●When the outside temperature is
approximately 37°F (3°C) or
lower, the indicator will flash
for approximately 10 seconds,
then stay on.
■Liquid crystal display
 P.105
■Customization
Settings (e. g. meter display) can be
changed on the screen of the
multi-informat ion display. (P.110)
Switches the items of the odom-
eter, trip meter A and trip meter
B by pressing the “ODO TRIP”
switch.
When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the
switch will reset the trip meter.
WARNING
■The information display at
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before using the liquid
crystal information display. At
extremely low temperatures, the
display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may
be delayed.
For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and
the new shift range appearing on
the display. This lag could cause
the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if
the engine coolant temperature
gauge is in the red zone (“H”). In
this case, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and check
the engine after it has cooled
completely. ( P.490)
