or after a few seconds. There
may be a malfunction in a sys-
tem if the light does not come on,
or turn off. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

message.
*3: Intuitive parking assist OFF indi- cator turns on when the power
switch is turned to ON while the
Intuitive parking assist function is
on. It will turn off after a few sec-
onds.

of the operating state of the
vehicle’s various systems.
WARNING
■If a safety system warning
light does not come on
Should a safety system light such
as the ABS and SR S warning light
not come on when you start the
hybrid system, this could mean
that these systems are not avail-
able to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

Vehicle status information and indicators
“Stop”
How to read the bar display:
After starting off, “Eco Score” dis-
play does not start until the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately
19mph (30km/h).
The “Eco Score” is reset each time
the vehicle starts off to start a new
evaluation.
When the hybrid system stops, the
current total score result is dis-
played.
*
*
: The score result is displayed only when “Eco Score” is selected for
“Trip Summary”. ( P.110)
■EV Ratio/EV Driving Ratio
Elapsed time after starting
Displays the elapsed time since
hybrid system was started.
*
EV driving ratio after starting
Displays the percen tage of EV driv-
ing since the hybrid system was started.
*
*
: It is reset each time the hybrid
system stops.
■Distance to empty
●This distance is computed based
on your average fuel consump-
tion. As a result, the actual dis-
tance that can be driven may
differ from that displayed.
●When only a small amount of fuel
is added to the tank, the display
may not be updated. When refuel-
ing, turn the power switch to OFF.
If the vehicle is refueled without
turning the power switch to OFF,
the display may not be updated.
●When “Refuel” is displayed, the
remaining fuel amount is low and
the distance that can be driven
with the remaining fuel cannot be
calculated.
Refuel immediately.

ance/“Eco Score” will not oper-
ate when
The ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance/“Eco Score” will not operate in
the following situations:
●The Hybrid System Indicator is not
operating.
●The vehicle is bei ng driven using

WARNING
■Trailer towing precautions
To tow a traile r safely, use
extreme care and drive the vehi-
cle in accordance with the trailer’s
characteristics and operating con-
ditions. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury. Vehicle
stability and braking performance
are affected by trailer stability,
brake setting and performance,
and the hitch. Your vehicle will
handle differently when towing a
trailer.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Do not exceed the TWR,
unbraked TWR, GCWR, GVWR
or GAWR.
●Adjust the tongue weight within
the appropriate range. Place
heavier loads as close to the
trailer axle as possible.
●Do not exceed 65 mph (104
km/h), the posted towing speed
limit or the spee d limit for your
trailer as set forth in your trailer
owner’s manual, whichever is
lowest. Slow down sufficiently
before making a turn, in cross
winds, on wet or slippery sur-
face, etc. to help avoid an acci-
dent. If you experience a
vehicle-trailer instability from
reducing a certain speed, slow
down and make sure you keep
your vehicle speed under the
speed of which you experience
the instability.
●Do not make jer ky, abrupt or
sharp turns.
●Do not apply the brakes sud-
denly as you may skid, resulting
in jackknifing and loss of vehicle
control. This is especially true
on wet or slippery surfaces.
●Do not exceed the trailer hitch
assembly weight, gross vehicle
weight, gross axle weight and
trailer tongue w eight capacities.
●Do not use dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed
range when towing.
●Slow down and downshift
before descending steep or long
downhill grades. Do not make
sudden downshifts while
descending steep or long down-
hill grades.

2264-2. Driving procedures
*1: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, shift the shift lever
to D for normal driving.
*2: By selecting shift ranges using S mode, you can control accelerat-
ing force and engine braking
force.
■When driving with dynamic
radar cruise control with full-
speed range activated
Even when perform ing the following
actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will
not activate because dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
will not be canceled.
●While driving in S mode, down-
shifting to 5 or 4. ( P.228)
●When switching th e driving mode
to sport mode while driving in D
position. ( P.323)
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.
