WARNING

■

To prevent an accident

■

Caution for use while driving
For safety, avoid operating the meter control switch while driving as much
as  possible,  and  do  not  look  continuously  at  the  multi-information  display
while driving. Stop the vehicle and operate the meter control switch. Failure
to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an unex-
pected accident.

NOTICE

■

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 information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

Do not place anything or attach a sticker
in front of the instrument cluster. The item
may  obscure  or  obstruct  the  display,  or
could  reflect  off  the  display,  possibly
causing an accident.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) outside rear view mirror indicators 
(if equipped) (

P. 421)

• When the BSM function is enabled on the 

 screen of the multi-infor-

mation display, the power switch is turned to ON mode.

If the system is functioning correctly, the BSM outside rear view mirror indi-
cators will turn off after a few seconds.
If the BSM outside rear view  mirror  indicators do not illuminate or do not
turn off, there may be a malfunction in the system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

●

Indicators are also displayed on the out-
side rear view mirrors.

●

In  order  to  confirm  operation,  the  BSM
outside rear view mirror indicators illumi-
nate in the following situations:
• When  the  power  switch  is  in  ON

mode,  the  BSM  function  is  enabled

on the 

 screen of the multi-infor-

mation display.

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a  safety  system light  such as  the ABS and  SRS  warning  light  not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The  engine  may  be  overheating  if  the  high  coolant  temperature  warning
light  comes  on  or  flashes.  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehicle  in  a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (
