: These indicators will illuminate in the following situations to indicate that

the system initial check is being performed:

• When the BSM function or RCTA function is enabled and the power

switch is turned to ON mode.

• When the power switch is ON mode and the BSM function is enabled.
• When the power switch is ON mode and the RCTA function is enabled.

(At this time, a buzzer will also sound).
The indicators will turn off after a few seconds. If the indicators do not
illuminate or turn off, or if a buzzer does not sound when the RCTA func-
tion is enabled, the system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

: This light illuminates on the outside rear view mirrors.

: This light illuminates on the center panel.

: When the outside temperature is approximately 37°F (3°C) or lower, this

indicator will flash for approximately 10 seconds, then stay on.

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning lights 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.

Hybrid System Indicator

●

By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving
can be achieved.

●

Charge area indicates “regeneration”

status. Regenerated energy will be

used to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).

: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of

energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.

The Hybrid System Indicator will not operate in the following situations:

●

The “READY” indicator is not illuminated.

●

The shift lever is in P, R or N position.

READY OFF area
Shows  that  the  hybrid  system  is  not
operating.
Charge area

an Eco-friendly manner.
Power area
Shows  that  an  Eco-friendly  driving
range  is  being  exceeded  (during  full
power driving etc.)

Engine speed

On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help
improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions etc.
There are times when the engine speed that is displayed may differ even
when vehicle operation and driving conditions are the same.

■

Outside temperature display

In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change:

●

When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 16 mph [25 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.

■

Fuel gauge and driving range display

The fuel gauge and driving range display are linked. If the fuel gauge and
driving range display do not update after refueling a small amount, they can
be updated by performing the following procedure:

Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Wait until the fuel in the fuel tank stabilizes.
Press the ODO/TRIP switch to change the odometer and trip meter display
to the odometer.
Turn the power switch off.
While pressing and holding the ODO/TRIP switch, turn the power switch to
ON mode.
Continue holding the ODO/TRIP switch for approximately 5 seconds.
Release the switch when the odometer begins blinking.
Updating will be complete when the odometer blinks for approximately 5
seconds and then returns to the normal display.

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. (
