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 any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

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 any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer imme-
diately 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. (

Detail

Hybrid System Indicator

A convenient Hybrid System Indicator is displayed.
Refer to P. 226 for details on how to read the Hybrid
System Indicator.

Current electricity consumption

When in EV/EV City mode, the current electricity
consumption during driving is displayed.

• The 

 mark indicates the total average electric-

ity consumption since last reset until it is reset
again.

• When “Electricity Consumption Reset” (



P. 251)

is performed, the data of the total average elec-
tricity consumption is deleted and the 

 mark is

reset to 0.

Current fuel consumption

When in HV mode, the current fuel consumption
during driving is displayed.

• The 

 mark indicates the value displayed in the

average fuel consumption display (



P. 214).

Switching the average fuel consumption display
also changes the position of the 

 mark.

• When the average fuel consumption is reset, the

position of the 

 mark is reset to 0.

Hybrid battery (traction battery) status

The same contents as the hybrid battery (traction
battery) status on the Hybrid System Indicator are
displayed. (

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 20 km/h [12 mph])
• 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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■

Electricity consumption

When the unit is set to “km/h”:
Electricity consumption is the consumption rate of the electricity when EV
driving is performed and equivalent to the fuel consumption for the gasoline
vehicles. For this vehicle, electricity consumed per 100 km (“kWh/100 km”) is
displayed as electricity consumption on each screen.
When the unit is set to “MPH” (if equipped):
Electricity consumption is the consumption rate of the electricity when EV
driving is performed and equivalent to the fuel consumption for the gasoline
vehicles. For this vehicle, driven distance per kWh of electricity consumed
(“miles/kWh”) is displayed as electricity consumption on each screen.

Distance to empty

●

This distance is computed based on your average fuel consumption. As a
result, the actual distance that can be driven may differ from that displayed.

●

When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not
be updated.
When refueling, turn the power switch off. If the vehicle is refueled without
turning the power switch off, the display may not be updated.

Energy monitor

The energy monitor can be used to check the vehicle drive status,
hybrid system operation status and energy regeneration status.

While charging from the external power source, the flow of electrical
energy while charging is displayed.
On vehicles with solar charging system, the approximate power genera-
tion level is also displayed.

When energy is flowing, an arrow appears and a bright point of light
moves to show the direction of the flow of energy. When energy is
not flowing, the bright point of light is not displayed.

●

The arrows from the image of the engine to that of the electric
motor (traction motor) or tires are displayed in red.

●

The arrow indicating energy consumption is displayed in yellow,
and the arrow indicating energy regeneration or charging is dis-
played in green. Also, the color around the image of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is changed.

As an example, all arrows are shown in the illustration, but the actual
contents of the display will differ.
