Vehicles with 12.3-inch audio 
system screen

The indicator light flashes after 
the power switch has been 
turned off to indicate that the 
system is operating.
The indicator light stops flashing 
after the power switch has been 
turned to ACC or ON to indicate 
that the system has been can-
celed.

■

System maintenance

The vehicle has a mainte-

nance-free type immobilizer system.

■

Conditions that may cause the 

system to malfunction

●

If the grip portion of the key is in 

contact with a metallic object

●

If the key is in close proximity to or 

touching a key registered to the 

security system (key with a built-in 

transponder chip) of another vehi-

cle

Immobilizer system

The vehicle’s keys have 
built-in transponder chips 
that prevent the hybrid sys-
tem from starting if a key 
has not been previously 
registered in the vehicle’s 
on-board computer.

Never leave the keys inside 
the vehicle when you leave 
the vehicle.

This system is designed to 
help prevent vehicle theft 
but does not guarantee 
absolute security against all 
vehicle thefts.

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 systems 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.

Outside temperature display

●

In the following situations, the cor-

rect outside temperature may not 

be displayed, or the display may 

take longer than normal to 

change:

• When stopped, or driving at low 

speeds (less than 12 mph [20 

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.

■

Liquid crystal display

Small spots or light spots may 

appear on the display. This phenom-

enon is characteristic of liquid crys-

tal displays, and there is no problem 

continuing to use the display.

■

Customization

The meters can be customized on

P.104)

WARNING

■

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.

WARNING

For example, there is a lag 

between the driver’s shifting and 

the new gear number appearing 

on the display. This lag could 

cause the driver to downshift 

again, causing rapid and exces-

an accident resulting in death or 

injury.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the 

engine and its components

●

Do not let the indicator needle 

of the tachometer enter the red 

zone, which indicates the maxi-

mum engine speed.

●

The engine may be overheating 

if the engine coolant tempera-

(H). In this case, immediately 

stop the vehicle in a safe place, 

and check the engine after it 

has cooled completely.
