●When the hybrid battery (traction bat-tery) is extremely cold (below approxi-mately -30°C [-22°F]) under the
influence of the outside temperature, it may not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the
hybrid system again after the tem- perature of the hybrid battery increases due to the outside tempera-
ture increase, etc.

Driving
1Stop the vehicle completely.
2 Set the parking brake (P.200),
and shift the shift lever to P.
Check the parking brake indicator is illuminated.
3 Press the power switch.
The hybrid system will stop, and the meter display will be extinguished.
4 Release the brake pedal and
check that “ACCESSORY” or
“IGNITION ON” is not shown on
the multi-information display.
Modes can be changed by pressing
the power switch with brake pedal
released. (The mode changes each
time the switch is pressed.)
WARNING
■When starting the hybrid system
Always start the hybrid system while
sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress the accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any
circumstances. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■Caution while driving (vehicles with steering lock function)
If hybrid system failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open the doors until the vehicle
reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of the steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■When starting the hybrid system
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have your vehicle checked by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer immediately.
■Symptoms indicating a malfunc-
tion with the power switch
If the power switch seems to be oper- ating somewhat differently than usual,
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer immediately.
Stopping the hybrid system
WARNING
■Stopping the hybrid system in an emergency
●If you want to stop the hybrid sys-tem in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press and hold the
power switch for more than 2 sec- onds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P.426)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emergency. Turning the hybrid sys-
tem off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, however, power assist to the steer-
ing will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop the
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
●If the power switch is operated while the vehicle is running, a warn-ing message will be shown on the
multi-information display and a buzzer sounds.
●To restart the hybrid system after performing an emergency shut-down, shift the shift lever to N and
then press the power switch.

the power switch will automatically turn off. Also, if the remaining 12-volt battery is
low with the shift lever in P and the power switch in ACC or ON (hybrid sys-tem is not operating), a buzzer sounds
and a message is displayed in the multi-
information display. If left in this state, the power switch automatically turns to off.
However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the power
switch in ACC or ON for long periods of time when the hybrid system is not oper-ating.
If the hybrid system is stopped with
the shift lever in a position other
than P, the power switch will not be
turned off. Perform the following
procedure to turn the switch off:
1 Check that the parking brake is
set.
2 Shift the shift lever to P.
3 Check that “IGNITION ON” is

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 possible to turn EV drive
mode on in the following situations. If it cannot be turned on, a buzzer will sound and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis- charge
Do not stop the hybrid system when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If the hybrid system is stopped
in another shift lever position, the power switch will not be turned off and remained to ON. If the vehicle is left in
ON, battery discharge may occur.
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., with-
out concern for noises and gas
emissions.

4-2. Driving procedures
●The temperature of the hybrid system
is high. The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
●The temperature of the hybrid system
is low. The vehicle has been left in tempera-tures lower than about 0°C (32°F) for
a long period of time, etc.
●The gasoline engine is warming up.
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) is low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the energy monitor display is low. ( P.123)
●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 gasoline engine will start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm up.
In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV drive mode.
After the hybrid system has started and
the “READY” indicator has illuminated, 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 gas-
oline engine may start automatically and the vehicle may be driven by the gaso-line engine and electric motor (traction
motor) in the following situations. When EV drive mode 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 battery) becomes low.The remaining battery level indicated
in the energy monitor display is low.
( P.123)
●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 dis- tance ranges from a few hundred meters to approximately 1 km (0.6 mile).
However, depending on vehicle condi- tions, there are situations when EV drive mode cannot be used.
(The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level and driving conditions.)
■Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during normal driving (using the gaso-
line engine and electric motor [traction motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
■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 avail- able (the vehicle is idling, battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher than the
EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator 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 automati-
cally 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 range or accelerator pedal is depressed too much) may be displayed. Drive the
vehicle for a while before attempting to turn on the EV drive mode again.
