FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline
engine and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of
power for the vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied
the braking force generates electricity which is then sent to the traction
battery. In addition, the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The
benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved
performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System
are shown on the multi-information display and/or navigation
system screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s
Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the
highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking
energy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
Starting the Hybrid System
(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and press the “POWER” switch briefly
and firmly.
(3) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light
remains steady and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

For your information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual covers all models and all equipment, including
options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment not
installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Toyota policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
Noise from under vehicle after turning off the hybrid system
Approximately five hours after the hybrid system is turned off, you may hear
sound coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage check and it does not indicate a malfunction.
Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Toyota
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Toyota
vehicles are currently available on the market. You should know that these
parts are not covered by Toyota warranty and that Toyota is not responsible
for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they may
cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your Toyota vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota products.
Modification with non-genuine Toyota products could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In
addition, damage or performance problems resulting from the modification
may not be covered under warranty.
16
Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle may
affect electronic systems such as the multi-port fuel injection system/sequential multi-port fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti-lock brake
system, SRS airbag system or seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to
check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.
Despite their electromagnetic shielding high voltage parts and cables on
hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic
waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.
Scrapping your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www .d t sc.ca.gov/haza rdouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo-
nents may include airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.
17
CAUTION
n General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision causing death or serious injury to you, your
occupants or others.
n General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the cigarette lighter, the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.
18
CAUTION
n Disposal of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
If your vehicle is disposed of without the hybrid battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts,
cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle must
be disposed of, the hybrid battery must be disposed of by your Toyota dealer
or a qualified service shop. If the hybrid battery is not disposed of properly, it
may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
