Spark ignition system of your Toyota
The spark ignition system in your Toyota meets all re-quirements of the Canadian Interference–Causing Equip-ment Standard.
Installation of a mobiletwo–way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two–way radio system inyour vehicle could affect electronic systems such asmultiport fuel injection system / sequential multiport fuelinjection system, cruise control system, anti–lock brakesystem, SRS airbag system, seat belt pretensioner sys-tem and Toyota hybrid system, be sure to check withyour Toyota dealer for precautionary measures or specialinstructions regarding installation.
Scrapping of your ToyotaThe SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices inyour Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle isscrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as theyare, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure tohave the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt preten-sioner removed and disposed of by the qualified serviceshop or by your Toyota dealer before you dispose of yourvehicle.
CAUTION
When your vehicle or battery needs to be dis-posed of, be sure to consult your Toyota dealer.Hybrid vehicle batteries must be collectedthrough Toyota dealers. If your vehicle is dis-posed of without dismantling, someone couldreceive an electric shock by touching the highvoltage parts of the hybrid vehicle battery. If thebattery is not disposed of properly, its contentscan cause death or serious injury.
v
Hybrid vehicle battery
Hybrid vehicle battery has a limited service life. Callyour Toyota dealer for information concerning recyclingor disposal of hybrid vehicle battery and your vehicle.
CAUTION
Precautions for useof hybrid vehicle
The vehicle has both high voltage DC and AC systems aswell as a 12–volt system. DC and AC high voltage are bothvery dangerous and can cause death or serious injury, se-vere burns and electric shock.
� In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touchthe high voltage cables (orange colored) and theirconnectors.
� Follow the caution labels attached to the high volt-age parts.
� Do not remove or replace the high voltage partssuch as the inverter unit (located in the enginecompartment), hybrid vehicle battery (located be-tween rear seat and trunk), etc.
� Do not touch the service plug located in the leftside trim of the trunk without hybrid system tech-nical training. (See “Precautions for use” on page12 in Section 1–2.) This component is provided todisable the high voltage system in case of servic-ing at a Toyota dealer.
vi
CAUTION
If an accident occurs
� Pull your Toyota off the road, put the selector le-ver in “P” and remove the ignition key.
� In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touchany high voltage wirings and their connectors, andhigh voltage parts (inverter unit, hybrid vehiclebattery, etc.).
� If some exposed electric wirings are protruding in-side or outside of your Toyota, an electric shockmay occur. Never touch the electric wirings.
� If fluid leaks or gets in some parts of the vehicle,never touch it because it may be electrolyte(strong alkali) from the hybrid vehicle battery. If itgets into your skin or eyes, wash off immediatelywith a large amount of water, if possible, boricacid solution, and get immediate medical attentionin order to help avoid serious injury.
� If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish it using a fireextinguisher for the exclusive use on electric fires.Or, use a large amount of water to prevent flam-mable gas from being generated from the batteries.
� When your Toyota needs to be towed, do it withthe front wheels raised. For details on towing, see“If your vehicle needs to be towed” on page 182 inSection 5.

103.INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVINGYOUR TOYOTAInformation before driving your TOYOTA
Your vehicle does not need an elaboratebreak–in. But following a few simple tipsfor the first 1000 km (600 miles) can addto the future economy and long life ofyour vehicle:
� Avoid full–throttle acceleration whenstarting and driving.
� Avoid racing the hybrid engine.
� Try to avoid hard stops during the first300 km (200 miles).
FUEL TYPE
Your vehicle must use only unleadedgasoline.
To help prevent gas station mixups, your To-yota has a smaller fuel tank opening. Thespecial nozzle on pumps with unleaded fuelwill fit it, but the larger standard nozzle onpumps with leaded gas will not.
At a minimum, the gasoline you useshould meet the specifications of ASTMD4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5–M93in Canada.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use ofleaded gasoline will cause the three–way catalytic converter to lose itseffectiveness and the emission con-trol system to function improperly.Also, this can increase maintenancecosts.
OCTANE RATING
Select unleaded gasoline with an Oc-tane Rating of 87 (Research OctaneNumber 91) or higher.
Use of unleaded fuel with an octane num-ber or rating lower than stated above willcause persistent heavy knocking. If se-vere, this will lead to engine damage.
If your engine knocks ...
If you detect heavy knocking even whenusing the recommended fuel, or if youhear steady knocking while holding asteady speed on level roads, consult yourToyota dealer.
However, occasionally, you may noticelight knocking for a short time while accel-erating or driving up hills. This is normaland there is no need for concern.
GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENTADDITIVES
Toyota recommends the use of gasoline thatcontains detergent additives to avoid build–up of engine deposits.
However, all gasoline sold in the U.S. con-tains detergent additives to keep clean and/orclean intake systems.

QUALITY GASOLINE
Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., Eu-rope and Japan have developed a specifica-tion for quality fuel named World–WideFuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected tobe applied world wide. The WWFC consistsof three categories that depend on requiredemission levels. In the U.S., category 3 hasbeen adopted. The WWFC improves airquality by providing for better emissions invehicle fleets, and customer satisfactionthrough better vehicle performance.
CLEANER BURNING GASOLINE
Cleaner burning gasoline, including refor-mulated gasoline that contains oxygenatessuch as ethanol or MTBE is available inmany areas.
Toyota recommends the use of cleanerburning gasoline and appropriately blendedreformulated gasoline. These types of gas-oline provide excellent vehicle perfor-mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and im-prove air quality.
OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE
Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blendedgasoline where the oxygenate content is upto 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. If you usegasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it hasan octane rating no lower than 87.
Toyota does not recommend the use ofgasoline containing methanol.
GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT
Some gasoline contain an octane en-hancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use ofgasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con-taining MMT is used, your emission con-trol system may be adversely affected.The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the in-strument cluster may come on. If this hap-pens, contact your Toyota dealer for ser-vice.
GASOLINE QUALITY
In a very few cases, you may experiencedriveability problems caused by the partic-ular gasoline that you are using. If youcontinue to have unacceptable driveability,try changing gasoline brands. If this doesnot rectify your problem, then consult yourToyota dealer.
NOTICE
� Do not use gasohol other thanstated above. It will cause fuel sys-tem damage or vehicle performanceproblems.
� If drivability problems are encoun-tered (poor hot starting, vaporizing,engine knock, etc.), discontinue itsuse.
� Take care not to spill gasohol dur-ing refueling. Gasohol may causepaint damage.

45 L (11.9 gal., 9.9 lmp. gal.)
The given fuel tank capacity is measuredon EPA/CARB ORVR testing conditionwhich is approved for nominal capacitymeasurement condition.
The fuel tank capacity is decreased at lowambient temperature. (decreased by about5 L (1.3 gal., 1.1 lmp. gal.) at –10�C(14�F).)
107.Fuel pump shut–off systemThe fuel pump shut–off system stops sup-plying fuel to the engine to minimize therisk of fuel leakage when the engine stallsor an airbag inflates upon collision. Torestart the hybrid system after the fuelpump shut–off system activates, turn theignition switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” onceand start it.
CAUTION
Inspect the ground under the vehiclebefore restarting the hybrid system. Ifyou find that liquid has leaked ontothe ground, the fuel system has beendamaged and it is in need of repair.In this case, do not restart the hybridsystem.
If you plan to drive your Toyota inanother country...
First , comply with the vehicle registrationlaws.
Second , confirm the availability of the cor-rect fuel (unleaded and minimum octanenumber).

1. Three–way catalytic converter
2. Toyota HC adsorber and catalyst sys-tem
The three–way catalytic converter andToyota HC adsorber and catalyst systemare emission control devices installedin the exhaust system.
Its purpose is to reduce pollutants in theexhaust gas.
CAUTION
� Keep people and combustible mate-rials away from the exhaust pipewhile the engine is running. Theexhaust gas is very hot.
� Do not drive, idle or park your ve-hicle over anything that might burneasily such as grass, leaves, paperor rags.
NOTICE
A large amount of unburned gasesflowing into the three–way catalyticconverter and Toyota HC adsorberand catalyst system may cause it tooverheat and create a fire hazard. Toprevent this and other damage, ob-serve the following precautions:
� Use only unleaded gasoline.
� Do not drive with an extremely lowfuel level; running out of fuel couldcause the engine to misfire, creat-ing an excessive load on the three–way catalytic converter and ToyotaHC adsorber and catalyst system.
� Do not turn off the ignition whilethe vehicle is moving.
� Keep your engine in good runningorder. Malfunctions in the engineelectrical system, electronic ignitionsystem/distributor ignition systemor fuel system could cause an ex-tremely high temperature of three–way catalytic converter and ToyotaHC adsorber and catalyst system.

152
� If the engine becomes difficult tostart or stalls frequently, take yourvehicle in for a check–up as soonas possible. Remember, your Toyotadealer knows your vehicle and itsthree–way catalytic converter andToyota HC adsorber and catalystsystem best.
� To ensure that the three–way cata-lytic converter and Toyota HC ad-sorber and catalyst system and theentire emission control system op-erate properly, your vehicle mustreceive the periodic inspections re-quired by the Toyota MaintenanceSchedule. For scheduled mainte-nance information, refer to the”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or”Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
� Do not apply coating agent such asfor anti–rust under–coating to theexhaust pipe (especially to the ac-tuator to valve).
CAUTION
� Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.It contains carbon monoxide, whichis a colorless and odorless gas. Itcan cause unconsciousness or evendeath.
� Make sure the exhaust system hasno holes or loose connections. Thesystem should be checked fromtime to time. If you hit something,or notice a change in the sound ofthe exhaust, have the systemchecked immediately.
� Do not run the hybrid system in agarage or enclosed area except forthe time needed to drive the vehiclein or out. The exhaust gases cannotescape, making this a particularlydangerous situation.
� Do not remain for a long time in aparked vehicle with the hybrid sys-tem running. If it is unavoidable,however, do so only in an uncon-fined area and adjust the heating orcooling system to force outside airinto the vehicle.
� Keep the trunk lid closed whiledriving. An open or unsealed trunklid may cause exhaust gases to bedrawn into the vehicle.
� To allow proper operation of yourvehicle’s ventilation system, keepthe inlet grilles in front of the wind-shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth-er obstructions.
� If you smell exhaust fumes in thevehicle, drive with the windowsopen and the trunk lid closed. Havethe cause immediately located andcorrected.

FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions oflubricating and cooling the inside of theengine, and plays a major role in main-taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-sume some engine oil during normalengine operation. The causes of oilconsumption in a normal engine are asfollows.
� Oil is used to lubricate pistons, pistonrings and cylinders. A thin film of oilis left on the cylinder wall when apiston moves downwards in the cylin-der. High negative pressure generatedwhen the vehicle is decelerating suckssome of this oil into the combustionchamber. This oil as well as some partof the oil film left on the cylinder wallis burned by the high temperature com-bustion gases during the combustionprocess.
� Oil is also used to lubricate the stemsof the intake valves. Some of this oilis sucked into the combustion chambertogether with the intake air and isburned along with the fuel. High tem-perature exhaust gases also burn theoil used to lubricate the exhaust valvestems.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-pends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions thevehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high–speed driv-ing and frequent acceleration and decel-eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, sinceits pistons, piston rings and cylinder wallshave not become conditioned.
When judging the amount of oil con-sumption, note that the oil may becomediluted and make it difficult to judgethe true level accurately.
As an example, if a vehicle is used forrepeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may notshow any drop in the oil level at all, evenafter 1000 km (600 miles) or more. Thisis because the oil is gradually becomingdiluted with fuel or moisture, making itappear that the oil level has not changed.
The diluting ingredients evaporate outwhen the vehicle is then driven at highspeeds, as on an expressway, making itappear that oil is excessively consumedafter driving at high speeds.
IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVELCHECK
One of the most important points in prop-er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-gine oil at the optimum level so that oilfunction will not be impaired. Therefore, itis essential that the oil level be checkedregularly. Toyota recommends that the oillevel be checked every time you refuelthe vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularlycould lead to serious engine troubledue to insufficient oil.
111.Facts about engine oil consumption
154
For detailed information on oil level check,see “Checking the engine oil level” onpage 212 in Section 8–2.
Your engine is fitted with iridium–tippedspark plugs.
NOTICE
Use only iridium–tipped spark plugsand do not adjust gaps for your en-gine performance and smooth drivabil-ity.
REGENERATIVE BRAKE
When the brake is applied, the electricmotor used as a generator converts kinet-ic energy into electric energy.
The regenerative brake works in the fol-lowing operations.
1. When the accelerator pedal is re-leased, the reduced speed equal to en-gine braking in a gasoline–fueled ve-hicle is obtained in accordance with therunning mode position of the selectorlever.
2. When the brake pedal is depressedwith the selector lever in “D” or “B”,the regenerative brake works.
112.Iridium–tipped spark plugs 113.Brake system
155
HYDRAULIC BRAKE
This brake system has 2 independent hy-draulic circuits. If either circuit should fail,the other will still work. However, the ped-al will be harder to press, and your stop-ping distance will be longer. Also, thebrake system warning light may come on.
CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle with only asingle brake system. Have yourbrakes fixed immediately.
BRAKE BOOSTER
The brake booster uses brake fluid pres-surized by the pump to power–assist thebrakes. If the brake booster fails duringdriving, the brake system warning lightcomes on and buzzer sounds continuous-ly. In this case, the brakes may not workproperly. If they do not work well, depressthe brake pedal firmly. If the brake systemwarning light comes on, immediately stopyour vehicle and contact your Toyota deal-er.
The brake system warning light may stayon for about 60 seconds after the ignitionkey is turned to the “ON” position. It isnormal if the light turns off after a while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedlymay turn on the brake system warninglight and buzzer. It is normal if the lightturns off and the buzzer stops soundingafter a few seconds.
You may hear a small sound in the enginecompartment after the hybrid system isstarted or the brake pedal is depressedrepeatedly. This is a pump pulsatingsound of the brake system, and it is nota malfunction.
CAUTION
� Do not pump the brake pedal if thehybrid system is not operating.Each push on the pedal uses upyour reserved brake fluid pressure.
� Even if the power assist is com-pletely lost, the brakes will stillwork. But you will have to push thepedal hard, much harder than nor-mal. And your braking distance willbe longer.
ANTI–LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
The anti–lock brake system is designedto automatically help prevent lock–up ofthe wheels during a sudden braking orbraking on slippery road surfaces. Thisassists in providing directional stab ilityand steering performance of the vehicleunder these circumstances.
Effective way to press the ABS brakepedal: When the anti–lock brake systemfunction is in action, you may feel thebrake pedal pulsating and hear a noise.In this situation, to let the anti–lockbrake system work for you, just hold thebrake pedal down more firmly. Do notpump the brake in a panic stop. Thiswill result in reduced braking perfor-mance.
The anti–lock brake system becomes op-erative after the vehicle has acceleratedto a speed in excess of approximately 10km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when thevehicle decelerates to a speed belowapproximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
156
Depressing the brake pedal on slipperyroad surfaces such as on the manholecover, the steel plate under the construc-tion, joints in the bridge, etc. on a rainyday tends to activate the anti–lock brakesystem.
You may hear a click or motor sound inthe engine compartment for a few secondswhen the engine is started or just afterthe vehicle is started. This means that theanti–lock brake system is in the selfcheck mode, and does not indicate a mal-function.
When the anti–lock brake system is ac-tivated, the following conditions mayoccur. They do not indicate a malfunc-tion of the system:
� You may hear the anti–lock brake sys-tem operating and feel the brake pedalpulsating and the vibrations of the ve-hicle body and steering wheel. Youmay also hear the motor sound in theengine compartment even after the ve-hicle is stopped.
� At the end of the anti–lock brake sys-tem activation, the brake pedal maymove a little forward.
CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti–lockbrake system: Although the anti–lockbrake system assists in providing ve-hicle control, it is still important todrive with all due care and maintaina moderate speed and safe distancefrom the vehicle in front of you, be-cause there are limits to the vehiclestability and effectiveness of steeringwheel operation even with the anti–lock brake system on.
If tires grip performance exceeds itscapability, or if hydroplaning occursduring high speed driving in the rain,the anti–lock brake system does notprovide vehicle control.
Anti–lock brake system is not de-signed to shorten the stopping dis-tance: Always drive at the moderatespeed and maintain a safe distancefrom the vehicle in front of you.Compared with vehicles without ananti–lock brake system, your vehiclemay require a longer stopping dis-tance in the following cases:
� Driving on rough, gravel or snow–covered roads.
� Driving with tire chains installed.
� Driving over the steps such as thejoints on the road.
� Driving on roads where the roadsurface is pitted or has other differ-ences in surface height.
Install all 4 tires of specified size atappropriate pressure: The anti–lockbrake system detects vehicle speedsusing the speed sensors for respec-tive wheels’ turning speeds. The useof tires other than specified may failto detect the accurate turning speed,resulting in a longer stopping dis-tance.

“ABS” warning light
The light comes on when the ignitionkey is turned to the “ON” position. Ifthe anti–lock brake system works prop-erly, the light turns off after a few sec-onds. Thereafter, if the system malfunc-tions, the light comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (andthe brake system warning light is off), theanti–lock brake system does not operate,but the brake system still operates con-ventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (andthe brake system warning light is off), theanti–lock brake system does not operateso that the wheels could lock up duringa sudden braking or braking on slipperyroad surfaces.
If either of the following conditions oc-curs, this indicates a malfunction some-where in the parts monitored by thewarning light system. Contact yourToyota dealer as soon as possible toservice the vehicle.
� The light does not come on when theignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion, or remains on.
� The light comes on while you are driv-ing.
A warning light turning on briefly duringoperation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains ontogether with the brake system warn-ing light, immediately stop your ve-hicle at a safe place and contact yourToyota dealer.
In this case, not only the anti–lockbrake system will fail but also thevehicle will become extremely unsta-ble during braking.
Either of the following conditions mayoccur, but does not indicate the mal-function:
� The light may stay on for about 60seconds after the ignition key is turnedto the “ON” position. It is normal if itturns off after a while.
� Depressing the brake pedal repeatedlymay turn on the light. It is normal ifit turns off after a few seconds.

The brake pad wear limit indicators onyour disc brakes give a warning noisewhen the brake pads are worn to wherereplacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noisewhile driving, have the brake padschecked and replaced by your Toyotadealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-tor damage can result if the pads are notreplaced when necessary.
When stowing luggage or cargo in thevehicle, observe the following:
� Put luggage or cargo in the trunk whenat all possible. Be sure all items aresecured in place.
� Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-anced. Locating the weight as far for-ward as possible helps maintain bal-ance.
� For better fuel economy, do not carryunneeded weight.
CAUTION
� Do not place anything on the pack-age tray behind the rear seatbackor luggage cover. Such items maybe thrown about and possibly injurepeople in the vehicle during suddenbraking or an accident.
� Do not drive with objects left ontop of the instrument panel. Theymay interfere with the driver’s fieldof view. Or they may move duringsharp vehicle acceleration or turn-ing, and impair the driver’s controlof the vehicle. In an accident theymay injure the vehicle occupants.

117.Theft prevention labelsYour new vehicle carries theft preven-tion labels which are approximately 56mm (2.20 in.) by 16 mm (0.63 in.).
The purpose of these labels is to reducethe incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitat-ing the tracing and recovery of parts fromstolen vehicles. The label is designed sothat once it is applied to a surface, anyattempt to remove it will result in destroy-ing the integrity of the label. Transferringthese labels intact from one part to anoth-er, will be impossible.
NOTICE
You should not attempt to remove thetheft prevention labels as it may vio-late certain state or federal laws.
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension/chassiswith lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. Itcan cause dangerous handling charac-teristics, resulting in loss of control.
119.Types of tiresDetermine what kind of tires your ve-hicle is originally equipped with.
1. All season tires
All season tires are designed to providebetter traction in snow and to be adequatefor driving in most winter conditions, aswell as for use all year round.
All season tires, however, do not haveadequate traction performance comparedwith snow tires in heavy or loose snow.Also, all season tires fall short in accel-eration and handling performancecompared with summer tires in highwaydriving.
2. Summer tires
Summer tires are high–speed capabilitytires best suited to highway driving underdry conditions.
Since summer tires do not have the sametraction performance as snow tires, sum-mer tires are inadequate for driving onsnow–covered or icy roads. For driving onsnow–covered or icy roads, we recom-mend using snow tires. If installing snowtires, be sure to replace all four tires.
118.Suspension and chassis
161
CAUTION
� Do not mix summer and all seasontires on your vehicle as this cancause dangerous handling charac-teristics, resulting in loss of con-trol.
� Do not use tire other than themanufacturer’s designated tires, andnever mix tires or wheels of thesizes different from the originallyequipped tires and wheels.
3. Adjust the inside and outside rear viewmirrors.
4. Lock all doors.

The “READY” light does not come onwhen the selector lever is put in aposition other than “P”. Depress thebrake pedal and put the selector leverin “P” and turn the ignition switch to“START” again.
If there is a problem somewhere in thehybrid system, the hybrid system malfunc-tion warning light will come on in place ofthe “READY” light. If this happens, contactToyota dealer.
NOTICE
When you start the hybrid system ata lowered outside temperature, it maytake longer before the blinking“READY” light changes to stay on.
� Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.This will allow you much better control.
� Drive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-sible, at a right angle. Avoid drivingonto high, sharp–edged objects andother road hazards. Failure to do socan lead to severe tire damage result-ing in tire bursts.Drive slowly when passing over bumpsor travelling on a bumpy road. Other-wise, the impact could cause severedamage to the tires and/or wheels.
� When parking on a hill, turn the frontwheels until they touch the curb sothat the vehicle will not roll. Apply theparking brake, and put the selector le-ver into “P”. If necessary, block thewheels.
� Washing your vehicle or driving throughdeep water may get the brakes wet. Tosee whether they are wet, check thatthere is no traffic near you, and thenpress the pedal lightly. If you do notfeel a normal braking force, the brakesare probably wet. To dry them, drivethe vehicle cautiously while lightlypressing the brake pedal with the park-ing brake pulled. If they still do notwork safely, pull to the side of the roadand call a Toyota dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
� Before driving off, make sure theparking brake is fully released andthat the parking brake reminderlight is off.
� Do not leave your vehicle unat-tended with the “READY” light on.
� Do not rest your foot on the brakepedal while driving. It can causedangerous overheating, needlesswear, and poor fuel economy.
� To drive down a long or steep hill,reduce your speed and downshift.Remember, if you ride the brakesexcessively, they may overheat andnot work properly.
� Be careful when accelerating orbraking on a slippery surface. Sud-den acceleration or engine braking,could cause the vehicle to spin orskid.
Tips for driving in variousconditions123.

� Do not drive in excess of the speedlimit. Even if the legal speed limitpermits it, do not drive over 140km/h (85 mph) unless your vehiclehas high–speed capability tires.Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph)may result in tire failure, loss ofcontrol and possible injury. Be sureto consult a tire dealer to determinewhether the tires on your vehicleare high–speed capability tires ornot before driving at such speeds.
� Do not continue normal drivingwhen the brakes are wet. If they arewet, your vehicle will require a lon-ger stopping distance, and it maypull to one side when the brakesare applied. Also, the parking brakewill not hold the vehicle securely.
Make sure you have a proper freezeprotection of coolant.
Your coolant must contain ethylene–glycoltype coolant for a proper corrosionprotection of aluminum components. Use“Toyota Genuine Long Life Coolant” orequivalent.
See 215 page in Section 8–2 for detailsabout coolant type selection.
NOTICE
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze orplain water alone.
When it is extremely cold, we recommendto use 60% solution for your Toyota, toprovide protection down to about –50°C(–58°F). Do not use more than 70% solu-tion for better coolant performance.
Check the condition of the aux iliarybattery and cables.
Cold temperatures reduce the capacity ofany auxiliary battery, so it must be in topshape to provide enough power for winterstarting. Section 8–3 tells you how tovisually inspect the auxiliary battery. YourToyota dealer will be pleased to check thelevel of charge.
Make sure the engine oil viscosity issuitable for the cold weather.
See 213 page in Section 8–2 for recom-mended viscosity. Leaving a heavy sum-mer oil in your vehicle during wintermonths may cause harder starting. If youare not sure about which oil to use, callyour Toyota dealer—he will be pleased tohelp.
Keep the door locks from freezing.
Squirt lock de–icer or glycerine into thelocks to keep them from freezing.
Use a washer fluid containing an anti–freeze solution.
This product is available at your Toyotadealer and most auto parts stores. Followthe manufacturer’s directions for howmuch to mix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or anyother substitute as washer fluid be-cause it may damage your vehicle’spaint.
Winter driving tips124.
167
Do not use your parking brake whenthere is a possibility it could freeze.
When parking, put the selector lever into“P” and block the rear wheels. Do not usethe parking brake, or snow or water accu-mulated in and around the parking brakemechanism may freeze, making it hard torelease.
Keep ice and snow from accumulatingunder the fenders.
Ice and snow built up under your fenderscan make steering difficult. During badwinter driving, stop and check under thefenders occasionally.
Depending on where you are driving,we recommend you carry some emer-gency equipment.
Some of the things you might put in thevehicle are tire chains, window scraper,bag of sand or salt, flares, small shovel,jumper cables, etc.

Improving fuel economy is easy–just takeit easy. It will help make your vehicle lastlonger, too. Here are some specific tipson how to save money on both fuel andrepairs:
� Keep your tires inflated at the cor-rect pressure. Underinflation causestire wear and wastes fuel. See page219 in Section 8–2 for instructions.
� Do not carry unneeded weight inyour vehicle. Excess weight puts aheavier load on the engine, causinggreater fuel consumption.
� Accelerate slowly and smoothly.Avoid jackrabbit starts.
� Avoid continuous speeding up andslowing down. Stop–and–go drivingwastes power.
� Avoid unnecessary stopping andbraking. Maintain a steady pace. Tryto time the traffic signals so you onlyneed to stop as little as possible ortake advantage of through streets toavoid traffic lights. Keep a proper dis-tance from other vehicles to avoid sud-den braking. This will also reduce wearon your brakes.
� Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jamswhenever possible.
� Do not rest your foot on brake ped-al. This causes premature wear, over-heating and poor fuel economy.
� Maintain a moderate speed on high-ways. The faster you drive, the greaterthe fuel consumption. By reducing yourspeed, you will cut down on fuel con-sumption.
� Keep the front wheels in properalignment. Avoid hitting the curb andslow down on rough roads. Improperalignment not only causes faster tirewear but also puts an extra load onthe engine, which, in turn, wastes fuel.
� Keep the bottom of your vehicle freefrom mud, etc. This not only lessensweight but also helps prevent corro-sion.
� Keep your vehicle tuned–up and intop shape . A dirty air cleaner, improp-er valve clearance, dirty plugs, dirty oiland grease, brakes not adjusted, etc.all lower engine performance and con-tribute to poor fuel economy. For longerlife of all parts and lower operatingcosts, keep all maintenance work onschedule, and if you often drive undersevere conditions, see that your ve-hicle receives more frequent mainte-nance.
CAUTION
Never turn off the hybrid system tocoast down hills. Your power steeringand brake booster will not functionwithout the hybrid system running.Also, the emission control system op-erates properly only when the hybridsystem is running.

If your hybrid system stalls while driving...
1. Reduce your speed gradually, keepinga straight line. Move cautiously off theroad to a safe place.
2. Turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ”OFF” posi-tion, and try starting the hybrid systemagain.
If the hybrid system will not start, see “Ifyour vehicle will not start” on page 170.
CAUTION
If the hybrid system is not operating,the power assist for the brakes andsteering will not work so steering andbraking will be much harder than usu-al.
If your high coolant temperature warn-ing light comes on, if you experience aloss of power, or if you hear a loudknocking or pinging noise, the hybridsystem has probably overheated. Youshould follow this procedure...
1. Pull safely off the road, stop the ve-hicle and turn on your emergencyflashers. Put the transmission in “P”and apply the parking brake. Turn offthe air conditioning if it is being used.
2. If coolant or steam is boiling out of theradiator or reservoir, stop the hybridsystem. Wait until the steam subsidesbefore opening the hood. If there is nocoolant boiling over or steam, leave thehybrid system running and make surethe electric cooling fan is operating. Ifit is not, turn the ignition off.
CAUTION
To help avoid personal injury, keepthe hood closed until there is nosteam. Escaping steam or coolant isa sign of very high pressure.
3. Look for obvious coolant leaks from theradiator, hoses, and under the vehicle.However, note that water draining fromthe air conditioning is normal if it hasbeen used.
CAUTION
When the hybrid system is running,keep hands and clothing away fromthe moving fan and engine drivebelts.
4. If the coolant is leaking, stop the hy-brid system immediately. Call a Toyotadealer for assistance.
5. If there are no obvious leaks, checkthe coolant reservoir. If it is dry, addcoolant to the reservoir while the hy-brid system is running. Fill it about halffull.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the hybrid system and ra-diator are hot. Serious injury couldresult from scalding hot fluid andsteam blown out under pressure.

Toyota, through its diligent research, de-sign and use of the most advancedtechnology available, has done its part tohelp prevent corrosion and has providedyou with the finest quality vehicleconstruction. Now, it is up to you. Propercare of your Toyota can help ensure long–term corrosion prevention.
The most common causes of corrosionto your vehicle are:
� The accumulation of road salt, dirt andmoisture in hard–to–reach areas underthe vehicle.
� Chipping of paint, or undercoatingcaused by minor accidents or bystones and gravel.
Care is especially important if you livein particular areas or operate your ve-hicle under certain environmental condi-tions:
� Road salt or dust control chemicals willaccelerate corrosion, as will the pres-ence of salt in the air near the sea–coast or in areas of industrial pollution.
� High humidity accelerates corrosion es-pecially when temperatures range justabove the freezing point.
� Wetness or dampness to certain partsof your vehicle for an extended periodof time, may cause corrosion eventhough other parts of the vehicle maybe dry.
� High ambient temperatures can causecorrosion to those components of thevehicle which are prevented fromquick–drying due to lack of proper ven-tilation.
The above signifies the necessity to keepyour vehicle, particularly the underside, asclean as possible and to repair any dam-age to paint or protective coatings assoon as possible.
To help prevent corrosion on yourToyota, follow these guidelines:
Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, ofcourse, necessary to keep your vehicleclean by regular washing, but to preventcorrosion, the following points should beobserved:
� If you drive on salted roads in thewinter or if you live near the ocean,you should hose off the undercarriageat least once a month to minimize cor-rosion.
� Pay particular attention to the vehicle’sunderside and wheel housings as it isdifficult to see all the mud and dirt. Itwill do more harm than good to simplywet the mud and debris without remov-ing them. The lower edge of doors,rocker panels and frame members havedrain holes which should not be al-lowed to clog with dirt as trapped wa-ter in these areas can cause corrosion.
� Wash the underside of the vehicle thor-oughly when winter is over.
See “Washing and waxing your Toyota” formore tips.
Check the condition of your vehicle’spaint and trim. If you find any chips orscratches in the paint, touch them up im-mediately to prevent corrosion from start-ing. If the chips or scratches have gonethrough the bare metal, have a qualifiedbody shop make the repair.
Protecting your Toyota fromcorrosion140.
191
Check the interior of your vehicle. Wa-ter and dirt can accumulate under thefloor mats and could cause corrosion. Oc-casionally check under the mats to makesure the area is dry. Be particularly care-ful when transporting chemicals, cleans-ers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should betransported in proper containers. If a spillor leak should occur, immediately cleanand dry the area.
Keep your vehicle in a well ventilatedgarage or a roofed place. Do not parkyour vehicle in a damp, poorly venti-lated garage. If you wash your vehicle inthe garage, or if you drive it in coveredwith water or snow, your garage may beso damp it will cause corrosion. Even ifyour garage is heated, a wet vehicle cancorrode if the ventilation is poor.

Vinyl interior
The vinyl upholstery may be easilycleaned with a mild soap or detergentand water.
142.Cleaning the interior
194
First vacuum over the upholstery to re-move loose dirt. Then, using a sponge orsoft cloth, apply the soap solution to thevinyl. After allowing it to soak in for a fewminutes to loosen the dirt, remove the dirtand wipe off the soap with a clean dampcloth. If all the dirt does not come off,repeat the procedure. Commercial foam-ing–type vinyl cleaners are also availablewhich work well. Follow the manufacturer’sinstructions.
NOTICE
Do not use solvent, thinner, gasolineor window cleaner on the interior.
Carpets
Use a good foam–type shampoo toclean the carpets.
Begin by vacuuming thoroughly to removeas much dirt as possible. Several types offoam cleaners are available; some are inaerosol cans and others are powders orliquids which you mix with water to pro-duce a foam. To shampoo the carpets,use a sponge or brush to apply the foam.Rub in overlapping circles.
Do not apply water—the best results areobtained by keeping the carpet as dry aspossible. Read the shampoo instructionsand follow them closely.
Seat belts
The seat belts may be cleaned withmild soap and water or with lukewarmwater.
Use a cloth or sponge. As you are clean-ing, check the belts for excessive wear,fraying, or cuts.
NOTICE
� Do not use dye or bleach on thebelts–it may weaken them.
� Do not use the belts until they be-come dry.
Windows
The windows may be cleaned with anyhousehold window cleaner.
NOTICE
When cleaning the inside of the win-dows, be careful not to scratch ordamage the heater wires on the rearwindow.

195
NOTICE
� Do not use organic substances (sol-vents, kerosene, alcohol, gasoline,etc.) or alkaline or acidic solutions.These chemicals can cause discol-oring, staining or peeling of thesurface.
� If you use cleaners or polishingagents, make sure their ingredientsdo not include the substances men-tioned above.
� If you use a liquid car freshener, donot apply the liquid onto the ve-hicle’s interior surfaces. It may con-tain the ingredients mentionedabove. Immediately clean any spillusing the method mentioned above.
Leather interior
The leather upholstery may be cleanedwith neutral detergent for wool.
Remove dirt using a soft cloth dampenedwith 5% solution of neutral detergent forwool. Then thoroughly wipe off all tracesof detergent with a clean damp cloth.
After cleaning or whenever any part of theleather gets wet, dry with a soft cleancloth. Allow the leather to dry in a venti-lated shaded area.
NOTICE
� If a stain should fail to come outwith a neutral detergent, apply acleaner that does not contain anorganic solvent.
� Never use organic substances suchas benzine, alcohol or gasoline, oralkaline or acid solutions for clean-ing the leather as these couldcause discoloring.
� Use of a nylon brush or syntheticfiber cloth, etc. may scratch thefine grained surface of the leather.
� Mildew may develop on soiled leath-er upholstery. Be especially carefulto avoid oil spots. Try to keep yourupholstery always clean.
� Long exposure to direct sunlightmay cause the leather surface toharden and shrink. Keep your ve-hicle in a shaded area, especially inthe summer.
� The interior of your vehicle is aptto heat up on hot summer days, soavoid placing on the upholsteryitems made of vinyl or plastic orcontaining wax as these tend tostick to leather when warm.
� Improper cleaning of the leather up-holstery could result in discolor-ation or staining.

However, each regular mainte-nance, as well as day–to–day care, ismore important than ever before to ensuresmooth, trouble–free, safe, and economicaldriving.
It is the owner’s responsibility to makesure the specified maintenance, includinggeneral maintenance service, is performed.Note that both the new vehicle andemission control system warranties specifythat proper maintenance and care must beperformed. See ”Owner’s WarrantyInformation Booklet” or ”Owner’s ManualSupplement” for complete warrantyinformation.
General maintenance
General maintenance items are those day–to–day care practices that are important toyour vehicle for proper operation. It is theowner’s responsibility to ensure that thegeneral maintenance items are performedregularly.
These checks or inspections can be doneeither by yourself or a qualified technician,or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will bepleased to do them at a nominal cost.
Scheduled maintenance
The scheduled maintenance items listed inthe ”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or”Owner’s Manual Supplement” are thoserequired to be serviced at regular inter-vals.
For details of your maintenance schedule,read the ”Scheduled Maintenance Guide”or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
It is recommended that only genuineToyota parts be used for maintenanceor for the repair of the emission con-trol system.
The owner may elect to use non–Toyotasupplied parts for replacement pur-poses without invalidating the emissioncontrol system warranty. However, useof replacement parts which are not ofequivalent quality may impair the effec-tiveness of the emission control sys-tems.
You may also elect to have mainte-nance, replacement, or repair of theemission control devices and systemperformed by any automotive repair es-tablishment or individual without invali-dating this warranty. See ”Owner’s War-ranty Information Booklet” or ”Owner’sManual Supplement” for complete war-ranty information.
Where to go for service?
Toyota technicians are well–trained spe-cialists and are kept up to date with thelatest service information through technicalbulletins, service tips, and in–dealershiptraining programs. They learn to work onToyotas before they work on your vehicle,rather than while they are working on it.
You can be confident that your Toyotadealer’s service department performs thebest job to meet the maintenance require-ments on your vehicle–reliably and eco-nomically.
Your copy of the repair order is proof thatall required maintenance has been per-formed for warranty coverage.

� Appreciable loss of power
� Strange engine noises
� A fluid leak under the vehicle (however,water dripping from the air conditioningafter use is normal.)
� Change in exhaust sound (This mayindicate a dangerous carbon monoxideleak. Drive with the windows open andhave the exhaust system checked im-mediately.)
� Vehicle pulls to one side when drivingstraight on a level road
� Strange noises related to suspensionmovement
� Loss of brake effectiveness; spongyfeeling brake pedal; pedal almosttouches floor; vehicle pulls to one sidewhen braking
� Coolant temperature continually higherthan normal
If you notice any of these clues, take yourvehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon aspossible. It probably needs adjustment orrepair.
CAUTION
Do not continue driving with the ve-hicle unchecked. It could result in se-rious vehicle damage and possiblypersonal injury.
146.Does your vehicle need repairing?
202
Some states have vehicle emission in-spection programs which include OBD(On–Board Diagnostics) checks.
The OBD system monitors the operationof the emission control system. When theOBD system determines that a problemexists somewhere in the emission controlsystem, the malfunction indicator lampcomes on. In this case, your vehicle maynot pass the I/M test and need to berepaired. Contact your Toyota dealer toservice the vehicle.
Even if the malfunction indicator lampdoes not come on, your vehicle may notpass the I/M test as readiness codeshave not been set in the OBD system.
Readiness codes are automatically setduring ordinary driving. However, when thebattery is disconnected or run down, thecodes are erased. Also, depending onyour driving habits, the codes may not becompletely set.
Also, if the malfunction indicator lamp hadcome on recently due to temporary mal-function such as a loose fuel tank cap,your vehicle may not pass the I/M test.
The malfunction indicator lamp will go offafter taking several driving trips, but theerror code in the OBD system will not becleared unless about 40 trips or more aretaken.
If your vehicle does not pass the I/M testand the malfunction indicator lamp doesnot come on, contact your Toyota dealerto prepare the vehicle for re–testing.

Uniform tire quality grading186.This information has been prepared in ac-cordance with regulations issued by theNational Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-tration of the U.S. Department of Trans-portation. It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyotavehicles with information on uniform tirequality grading.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer anyquestions you may have as you read thisinformation.
DOT quality grades—All passenger cartires must conform to Federal SafetyRequirements in addition to thesegrades. Quality grades can be foundwhere applicable on the tire sidewallbetween tread shoulder and maximumsection width. For example: Treadwear200 Traction AA Temperature A.
Reporting safety defects forU.S. owners185.
247
Tread wear— The tread wear grade is acomparative rating based on the wear rateof the tire when tested under controlledconditions on a specified government testcourse. For example, a tire graded 150would wear one and a half (1–1/2) timesas well on the government course as atire graded 100. The relative performanceof tires depends upon the actual condi-tions of their use, however, and may de-part significantly from the norm due tovariations in driving habits, service prac-tices and differences in road characteris-tics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C— The tractiongrades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A,B, and C, and they represent the tire’sability to stop on wet pavement as mea-sured under controlled conditions on spe-cified government test surfaces of asphaltand concrete. A tire marked C may havepoor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned tothis tire is based on braking (straightahead) traction tests and does not includecornering (turning) traction.
Temperature A, B, C— The temperaturegrades are A (the highest), B, and C,representing the tire’s resistance to thegeneration of heat and its ability to dissi-pate heat when tested under controlledconditions on a specified indoor laboratorytest wheel. Sustained high temperaturecan cause the material of the tire to de-generate and reduce tire life, and exces-sive temperature can lead to sudden tirefailure. The grade C corresponds to a lev-el of performance which all passenger cartires must meet under the Federal MotorVehicle Safety Standard No. 109. GradesB and A represent higher levels of perfor-mance on the laboratory test wheel thanthe minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades for thistire are established for a tire that is prop-erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces-sive speed, underinflation, or excessiveloading, either separately or in combina-tion, can cause heat buildup and possibletire failure.

FEATURES ON NEW TOYOTA VEHICLE1.Overview of instruments and controls
Toyota hybrid system combines thegasoline engine and the electric motorpower to improve the fuel economylargely and minimize the emissions aswell as to provide higher power perfor-mance than the ordinary gasoline–pow-ered vehicles.
Depending on the driving condition, thevehicle runs on the best combination of;
� Gasoline engine power
� Electric motor power generated bythe gasoline engine
� Electric motor power of the hybridvehicle battery
Furthermore, the energy is effectively usedin the following ways:
� When stopping the vehicle, the gaso-line engine is automatically stopped.
� When decreasing the speed by apply-ing the brakes, electricity convertedfrom the turning force of the wheels isstored in the hybrid vehicle battery.(This is called regenerative brake.)
Since the battery is charged by thegasoline engine as needed, it does notrequire charging from the outside likean electric vehicle.
In this way, greatly improved fuel economyand reduced emissions are attained.
If you do not use the vehicle for a longtime (2 weeks or more), the hybrid ve-hicle battery and auxiliary battery will dis-charge and their condition is liable to de-cline. Therefore, in order to make up fordischarging, charge them once in every 2weeks for about 30 minutes by startingthe hybrid system with all electrical com-ponents turned off.
Basic operations are described below. Be-sides, Toyota hybrid system performs vari-ous controls depending on the operatingcondition, such as at the time of hybridsystem starting, at the time of chargingshould be required, at the time of the airconditioning is in use, etc.
When starting or backing up, etc., thegasoline engine efficiency worsens, sothe vehicle runs on electric power fromhybrid vehicle battery.
12p017a
Gasoline powerin use
During normal driving, the vehicle runsmainly on gasoline power. However, theelectric motor, using electric power gener-ated by the gasoline engine, makes up forany deficiency of gasoline power.
The vehicle controls the optimum ratio ofthe gasoline and electric power to helpsave energy more effectively.
12p018a
Electric and gasolinepower in use
When driving at full throttle, electricpower is further applied from the hybridvehicle battery. Vehicle performance impro-ves.
10
12p019a
Storing electric power
When decreasing speed or applying thebrakes, the turning force of the wheelsmakes the electric motor operate as agenerator and additional electricity isstored in the hybrid vehicle battery (regen-erative brake).
12p020a
Not in use
When stopping, the gasoline engine auto-matically shuts off.
12p030
Charging hybrid vehicle battery
When the hybrid vehicle battery power isinsufficient, the gasoline engine chargesthe hybrid vehicle battery. The system al-ways supplies electricity at a constant lev-el.
11
Turn the ignition key from “ON” to“START” with the running mode selectorlever in “P” position only. When the“READY” light flashes and stays on anda beep sounds after a few seconds, thehybrid system starts. (If the ambient tem-perature is low such as during winter con-ditions, it may take time until the“READY” light is on.) Being different fromordinary vehicles, you cannot start yourvehicle with the running mode selector le-ver in “N” position. (For details, see “Howto start the hybrid system—” on page 164in Section 4.)
Drive your vehicle with a smooth accel-eration and deceleration.
� When driving, energy is effectively re-covered through the regenerative brakeas the vehicle decelerates. However,for more efficient use, do not acceler-ate or decelerate your vehicle morethan necessary.
� By avoiding abrupt acceleration and de-celeration, the remaining capacity ofthe hybrid vehicle battery can be pre-served and it makes it possible to runthe vehicle utilizing the gasoline engineand the electric power from the hybridvehicle battery.
� The remaining capacity of the hybridvehicle battery can be confirmed onthe energy monitor screen of the multi–information display. See “Information”on 115 page in Section 2–6 for details.As the way in which you drive maydecrease the remaining capacity of thehybrid vehicle battery and reduce fueleconomy, drive your vehicle withoutabrupt acceleration or deceleration.
Use the “A/C” mode (with the “A/C”button only on) when you use the airconditioning.
� As the gasoline engine starts andstops automatically in this mode, eco-nomical driving with less emissions ispossible.
� In the “MAX” mode (with the “A/C” but-ton and “MAX” button on), the gasolineengine is frequently used. Use thismode only when you need to operatethe air conditioning fully such as whenyou should dehumidify or when you areunder a burning sun.
When parking, be sure to put the run-ning mode selector lever in “P” posi-tion. While driving, use “D” position.
� With the selector lever in “N” position,the gasoline engine operates but elec-tricity cannot be generated. Theconstant electrical power remaining inthe hybrid vehicle battery becomes in-sufficient and the battery will be dis-charged.
8.Starting your vehicle9.For efficient use of yourvehicle
12
� The hybrid system automatically con-trols the level of electrical power re-maining in the hybrid vehicle battery.With the selector lever in a positionother than “N”, electricity is generatedand charging occurs when the level ofelectrical power in the hybrid vehiclebattery decreases. It is unnecessary tocharge the hybrid vehicle battery fromoutside.
INFORMATION:
The gasoline engine starts and stopsautomatically. (It stops during a lowload driving, deceleration or when thevehicle stopped.)
If the “READY” light remains on, youcan start your vehicle using the electricmotor even with the gasoline enginestopped.
The gasoline engine may not stop auto-matically in the following conditions:
� During under gasoline engine warm–up
� During hybrid vehicle battery charg-ing
� When the air conditioning is used inthe “MAX” mode, the gasoline engineis frequently used.
If the output control warning light ( )comes on in the instrument cluster, thehybrid vehicle battery temperature islow or high, or the hybrid vehicle bat-tery capacity is decreased with the se-lector lever at “R” during driving. As itdoes not indicate the failure of the sys-tem, you can continue driving but avoidhard acceleration because the power isinsufficient (which is caused by the bat-tery power deterioration).
The vehicle runs in combination withthe gasoline and electric power. Payspecial attention to the following items.
Be careful of a high voltage and hightemperature.
Your vehicle is equipped with the orangecolored cables connected to the hybridvehicle battery which contain a high volt-age (about 300 V) and to other high volt-age parts.
CAUTION
Do not touch or come in contact withorange cables or battery terminals.Electric shock may cause serious in-jury or death. Read all caution labels.
A electric motor, coolant radiator andsome other parts reach high temperaturewhen you are driving. Caution labels areapplied to these parts. Carefully observethe instructions on these caution labels.

While the vehicle is being driven, all ve-hicle occupants should have the seatbackupright, sit well back in the seat and prop-erly wear the seat belts provided.
CAUTION
� Do not drive the vehicle unless theoccupants are properly seated. Donot allow passengers to sit on topof a folded–down seatback, or inthe luggage compartment or cargoarea. Persons not properly seatedand/or properly restrained by seatbelts can be severely injured in theevent of emergency braking or acollision.
� During driving, do not allow pas-sengers to stand up or movearound between seats. Otherwise,severe injuries can occur in theevent of emergency braking or acollision.
Driver seat
CAUTION
The SRS driver airbag deploys withconsiderable force, and can causedeath or serious injury especially ifthe driver is very close to the airbag.The National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration “NHTSA” advises:
Since the risk zone for driver airbagis the first 50–75 mm (2–3 in.) ofinflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10in.) from your diver airbag providesyou with a clear margin of safety.This distance is measured from thecenter of the steering wheel to yourbreastbone. If you sit less than 250mm (10 in.) away now, you canchange your driving position in sever-al ways:
� Move your seat to the rear as faras you can while still reaching thepedals comfortably.
� Slightly recline the back of theseat. Although vehicle designs vary,many drivers can achieve the 250mm (10 in.) distance, even with thedriver seat all the way forward, sim-ply by reclining the back of theseat somewhat. If reclining the backof your seat makes it hard to seethe road, raise yourself by using afirm, non–slippery cushion, or raisethe seat if your vehicle has thatfeature.
� If your steering wheel is adjustable,tilt it downward. This points the air-bag toward your chest instead ofyour head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-ommended by NHTSA above, whilestill maintaining control of the footpedals, steering wheel, and your viewof the instrument panel controls.
22.Seats
23.Front seats——Front seat precautions (on vehicles with SRS frontairbags)
39
Front passenger seat
CAUTION
The SRS front passenger airbag alsodeploys with considerable force, andcan cause death or serious injury es-pecially if the front passenger is veryclose to the airbag. The front passen-ger seat should be as far from theairbag as possible with the seatbackadjusted, so the front passenger sitsupright.
CAUTION
The SRS side airbags are installed inthe driver and front passenger seats.Observe the following precautions.
� Do not lean against the front doorwhen the vehicle is in use, sincethe side airbag inflates with consid-erable speed and force. Otherwise,you may be killed or seriously in-jured.
� Do not use seat accessories whichcover the area where the side air-bags should inflate. Such accesso-ries may prevent the side airbagsfrom activating correctly, causingdeath or serious injury.
� Do not modify or replace the seatsor surface of front seats with sideairbags. Such changes may preventthe side airbags from activatingcorrectly, disable the system orcause the side airbags to inflate,resulting in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
� Adjustments should not be madewhile the vehicle is moving, as theseat may unexpectedly move andcause the driver to lose control ofthe vehicle.
� When adjusting the seat, be carefulthat the seat does not hit a passen-ger or luggage.
� After adjusting the seat position, re-lease the lever and try sliding theseat forward and backward to makesure it is locked in position.
� After adjusting the seatback, pushyour body to make sure the seat islocked in position.
� Do not put objects under the seats.Otherwise, the objects may interferewith the seat–lock mechanism orunexpectedly push up the seat posi-tion adjusting lever and the seatmay suddenly move, causing thedriver to lose control of the vehicle.

2. SEATBACK ANGLE ADJUSTING LEVER
Lean forward and pull the lever up.Then lean back to the desired angleand release the lever.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of sliding underthe lap belt during a collision, avoidreclining the seatback any more thanneeded. The seat belts provide maxi-mum protection in a frontal or rearcollision when the driver and the pas-senger are sitting up straight andwell back in the seats. If you arereclined, the lap belt may slide pastyour hips and apply restraint forcesdirectly to the abdomen. In the eventof a frontal collision, the more theseat is reclined, the greater the riskof personal injury.

For your safety and comfort, adjust thehead restraint before driving,
To raise: Pull it up.To lower: Push it down while pressing thelock release button.
The head restraint is most effective whenit is close to your head. Therefore, usinga cushion on the seatback is not recom-mended.
CAUTION
� Adjust the center of the head re-straint so that it is closest to thetop of your ears.
� After adjusting the head restraint,make sure it is locked in position.
� Do not drive with the head re-straints removed.
Toyota strongly urges that the driver andpassengers in the vehicle be properly re-strained at all times with the seat beltsprovided. Failure to do so could increasethe chance of injury and/or the severity ofinjury in accidents.
The seat belts provided for your vehicleare designed for people of adult size,large enough to properly wear them.
Child . Use a child restraint system ap-propriate for the child until the child be-comes large enough to properly wear thevehicle’s seat belts. (For details, see“Child restraint—” on page 61 in this sec-tion.)
If a child is too large for a child restraintsystem, the child should sit in the rearseat and must be restrained using thevehicle’s seat belt. According to accidentstatistics, the child is safer when properlyrestrained in the rear seat than in thefront seat.
If a child must sit in the front seat, theseat belts should be worn properly. If anaccident occurs and seat belts are notworn properly, the force of the rapid infla-tion of the airbag may cause death orserious injury to the child.

Do not allow the child to stand up orkneel on either rear or front seats. Anunrestrained child could suffer serious in-jury or death during emergency braking ora collision. Also, do not let the child siton your lap. It does not provide sufficientrestraint.
Pregnant woman . Toyota recommends theuse of a seat belt. Ask your doctor forspecific recommendations. The lap beltshould be worn securely and as low aspossible over the hips and not on thewaist.
Injured person . Toyota recommends theuse of a seat belt. Depending on the inju-ry, first check with your doctor for specificrecommendations.
CAUTION
Persons should ride in their seatsproperly wearing their seat beltswhenever the vehicle is moving.Otherwise, they are much more likelyto suffer serious bodily injury ordeath in the event of sudden brakingor a collision.
When using the seat belts, observethe following:
� Use the belt for only one person ata time. Do not use a single belt fortwo or more people—even children.
� Avoid reclining the seatbacks toomuch. The seat belts provide maxi-mum protection when the seatbacksare in the upright position. (Referto the seat adjustment instructions.)
� Be careful not to damage the beltwebbing or hardware. Take care thatthey do not get caught or pinchedin the seat or doors.
� Inspect the belt system periodically.Check for cuts, fraying, and looseparts. Damaged parts should be re-placed. Do not disassemble ormodify the system.
� Keep the belts clean and dry. Ifthey need cleaning, use a mild soapsolution or lukewarm water. Neveruse bleach, dye or abrasive clean-ers—they may severely weaken thebelts. (See “Cleaning the interior”on page 193 in Section 6.)
� Replace the belt assembly (includ-ing bolts) if it has been used in asevere impact. The entire assemblyshould be replaced even if damageis not obvious.

Adjust the seat as needed (Front seatsonly) and sit up straight and well backin the seat. To fasten your belt, pull itout of the retractor and insert the tabinto the buckle.
You will hear a click when the tab locksinto the buckle.
The seat belt length automatically adjuststo your size and the seat position.
The retractor will lock the belt during asudden stop or on impact. It also maylock if you lean forward too quickly. Aslow, easy motion will allow the belt toextend, and you can move around freely.
If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of theretractor, firmly pull the belt and releaseit. You will then be able to smoothly pullthe belt out of the retractor.
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is com-pletely extended and is then retractedeven slightly, the belt is locked in thatposition and cannot be extended. This fea-ture is used to hold the child restraintsystem securely. (For details, see “Childrestraint—” on page 61 in this Section.)To free the belt again, fully retract the beltand then pull the belt out once more.
CAUTION
� After inserting the tab, make surethe tab and buckle are locked andthat the belt is not twisted.
� Do not insert coins, clips, etc. inthe buckle as this may prevent youfrom properly latching the tab andbuckle.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-tem) front airbags are designed to pro-vide further protection for the driverand front passenger in addition to theprimary safety protection provided bythe seat belts.
In response to a severe frontal impact,the SRS front airbags work together withthe seat belts to help reduce injury byinflating. The SRS front airbags help toreduce injuries mainly to the driver’s orfront passenger’s head or chest directlyhitting the steering wheel or dashboard.The front passenger airbag is activatedeven with no passenger in the front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crashsensing and diagnostic module, which willrecord the use of the seat belt restraintsystem by the driver and passenger whenthe SRS airbags are inflated.
CAUTION
A driver or front passenger who istoo close to the steering wheel ordashboard during airbag deploymentcan be killed or seriously injured.
Toyota strongly recommends that:
� The driver sit as far back as pos-sible from the steering wheel whilestill maintaining control of the ve-hicle.
� The front passenger sit as far backas possible from the dashboard.
� All vehicle occupants be properlyrestrained using the available seatbelts.
22p010
This indicator comes on when the igni-tion key is turned to the “ACC” or“ON” position. It goes off after about6 seconds. This means the SRS frontairbags are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-sors, side airbag sensors, front seat beltpretensioner assemblies, warning light, in-terconnecting wiring and power sources.(For details, see “Service reminder indica-tors and warning buzzers” on page 92 inSection 2–4.)
26.SRS driver and front passenger airbags
50
The SRS front airbags are designed todeploy in severe (usually frontal) colli-sions where the magnitude and durationof the forward deceleration of the ve-hicle exceeds the designed thresholdlevel.
The SRS front airbags will deploy if theseverity of the impact is above the de-signed threshold level, comparable to anapproximate 25 km/h (15 mph) collisionwhen the vehicle has the impact straightinto a fixed barrier that does not move ordeform.
However, this threshold velocity will beconsiderably higher if the vehicle strikesan object, such as a parked vehicle orsign pole, which can move or deform onimpact, or if the vehicle is involved in anunderride collision (e.g. a collision inwhich the front of the vehicle “underrides”,or goes under, the bed of a truck, etc.).
It is possible that in some collisionswhere the forward deceleration of the ve-hicle is very close to the designed thresh-old level, the SRS front airbags and theseat belt pretensioners may not activatetogether.
For the safety of all occupants, alwayswear your seat belts properly.
22p015b
Collision from the side Vehicle rollover
Collision from the rear
The SRS front airbags are generally notdesigned to inflate if the vehicle is in-volved in a side or rear collision, if itrolls over, or if it is involved in a low–speed frontal collision. But, when ever acollision of any type causes sufficientforward deceleration of the vehicle, de-ployment of the SRS front airbags mayoccur.
22p016bHitting a curb, edgeof pavement orhard material
Falling into or jump-ing over a deep hole
Landing hard or vehicle falling
The SRS front airbags may also deployif a serious impact occurs to the under-side of your vehicle. Some examplesare shown in the illustration.
51
22p017a
The SRS airbag system mainly consists ofthe following components and their loca-tions are shown in the illustration.
1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Airbag module for front passenger (air-bag and inflator)
4. Airbag sensor assembly
5. Airbag module for driver (airbag andinflator)
The airbag sensor assembly consists of asafing sensor and airbag sensor.
The airbag sensors constantly monitor theforward deceleration of the vehicle. If animpact results in a forward decelerationbeyond the designed threshold level, thesystem triggers the airbag inflators. At thistime a chemical reaction in the inflatorsvery quickly fills the airbags with non–tox-ic gas to help restrain the froward motionof the occupants. The airbags then quicklydeflate, so that there is no obstruction ofthe driver’s vision should it be necessaryto continue driving.
When the airbags inflate, they produce aloud noise and release some smoke andresidue along with non–toxic gas. Thisdoes not indicate a fire. This smoke mayremain inside the vehicle for some time,and may cause some minor irritation tothe eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure towash off any residue as soon as possibleto prevent any potential skin irritation withsoap and water. If you can physically andsafely exit the vehicle after a collision,you should do so at the first opportunity.
Deployment of the airbags happens in afraction of a second, so the airbags mustinflate with considerable force. While thesystem is designed to reduce serious inju-ries, primarily to the head and chest, itmay also cause other, less severe injuriesto the face, chest, arms and hands. Theseare usually in the nature of minor burnsor abrasions and swelling, but the force ofa deploying airbag can cause more seri-ous injuries, especially if an occupant’shands, arms, chest or head are in closeproximity to the airbag module at the timeof deployment. This is why it is importantfor the occupant to: avoid placing anyobject or part of the body between theoccupant and the airbag module; sitstraight and well back into the seat; wearthe available seat belt properly; and sit asfar as possible from the airbag module,while still maintaining control of the ve-hicle.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheelhub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hotfor several minutes after deployment, sodo not touch! The airbags inflate onlyonce. The windshield may be damaged byabsorbing some of the force of the inflat-ing airbag.
52
CAUTION
� The SRS airbag system is designedonly as a supplement to the prima-ry protection of the driver side andfront passenger side seat belt sys-tems. The front seat occupants canbe killed or seriously injured by theinflating airbags if they do not wearthe available seat belts properly.During sudden braking just beforea collision, an unrestrained driveror front passenger can move for-ward into direct contact with orclose proximity to the airbag whichmay then deploy during the colli-sion. To ensure maximum protectionin an accident, the driver and allpassengers in the vehicle mustwear their seat belts properly. Wear-ing a seat belt during an accidentreduces the chances of death orserious injury or being thrown outof the vehicle. For instructions andprecautions concerning the seatbelt system, see “Seat belts—” onpage 41 in this section.
� Improperly seated and/or restrainedinfants and children can be killedor seriously injured by the deploy-ing front airbags. An infant or childwho is too small to use a seat beltshould be properly secured using achild restraint system. Toyotastrongly recommends that all in-fants and children be placed in therear seat of the vehicle and proper-ly restrained. The rear seat is thesafest for infants and children. Forinstructions concerning the installa-tion of a child restraint system, see“Child restraint—” on page 61 inthis section.
22p018a
� Never put a rear–facing child re-straint system on the front passen-ger seat because the force of therapid inflation of the front passen-ger airbag can cause death or seri-ous injury to the child.
53
22p019
Move seatfully back
� A forward–facing child restraintsystem should be allowed to be puton the front seat only when it isunavoidable. Always move the seatas far back as possible, becausethe force of the deploying front air-bag could cause death or seriousinjury to the child.
� On vehicles with side airbags, donot allow the child to lean againstthe front door or around the frontdoor even if the child is seated inthe child restraint system. It is dan-gerous if the side airbag inflates,because the impact could causedeath or serious injury to the child.
� For instructions concerning theinstallation of a child restraint sys-tem, see “Child restraint—” on page61 in this section.
22p020a
� Do not sit on the edge of the seator lean against the dashboard whenthe vehicle is in use, since thefront airbags inflate with consider-able speed and force. Otherwise,you may be killed or seriously in-jured. Sit up straight and well backin the seat, and always use yourseat belt properly.
54
22p021a
� Do not allow a child to stand up orto kneel on the front passengerseat, since the front airbag inflateswith considerable speed and force.Otherwise, the child may be killedor seriously injured.
� Do not hold a child on your lap orin your arms. Use a child restraintsystem in the rear seat. For instruc-tions concerning the installation ofa child restraint system, see “Childrestraint—” on page 61 in this sec-tion.
22p022b
� Do not put objects or your pets onor in front of the dashboard orsteering wheel pad that houses thefront airbag system. They might re-strict inflation or cause death orserious injury as they are projectedrearward by the force of deployingairbags. Likewise, the driver andfront passenger should not hold ob-jects in their arms or on theirknees.
� Do not modify or remove any wir-ing. Do not modify, remove, strikeor open any components, such asthe steering wheel pad, steeringwheel, column cover, front passen-ger airbag cover, front passengerairbag or airbag sensor assembly.Doing any of these may cause sud-den SRS front airbag inflation ordisable the system, which could re-sult in death or serious injury.

The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-tem) side airbags are designed to pro-vide further protection for the driverand front passenger in addition to theprimary safety protection provided bythe seat belts.
In response to a severe side impact, theSRS side airbags work together with theseat belts to help reduce injury by inflat-ing. The SRS side airbags help to reduceinjuries mainly to the driver’s or front pas-senger’s chest. The SRS side airbag onthe passenger seat is activated even withno passenger in the front seat.
Be sure to wear your seat belt properly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a crashsensing and diagnostic module, which willrecord the use of the seat belt restraintsystem by the driver and passenger whenthe SRS side airbags are inflated.
CAUTION
SRS side airbags inflate with consid-erable force. To avoid potential deathor serious injury when they inflate,the driver and front passenger must:
� Wear their seat belts properly.
� Remain properly seated with theirback upright and against the seat atall times.
57
22p010
This indicator comes on when the igni-tion key is turned to the “ACC” or“ON” position. It goes off after about6 seconds. This means the SRS sideairbags are operating properly.

The SRS side airbag system consistsmainly of the following components, andtheir locations are shown in the illustra-tion.
1. SRS warning light
2. Side airbag modules (airbag and inflator)
3. Side airbag sensors
4. Airbag sensor assembly
The SRS side airbag system is controlledby the airbag sensor assembly. The airbagsensor assembly consists of a safing sen-sor and airbag sensor.
In a severe side impact, the side airbagsensor triggers the side airbag inflators.Then a chemical reaction in the inflatorsquickly fills the airbags with non–toxic gasto help restrain the lateral motion of theoccupants.
When the airbags inflate, they produce afairly loud noise and release some smokeand residue along with non–toxic gas. Thisdoes not indicate a fire. This gas is nor-mally harmless; however, for those whohave delicate skin, it may cause a minorskin irritation. Be sure to wash off anyresidue as soon as possible to preventany potential skin irritation.
Deployment of the airbags happen in afraction of a second, so the airbags mustinflate with considerable force. While thesystem is designed to reduce serious inju-ries, it may also cause minor burns orabrasions and swelling.
Front seats may be hot for several min-utes, but the airbags themselves will notbe hot. The airbags are designed to inflateonly once.
CAUTION
� The SRS side airbag system is de-signed only as a supplement to theprimary protection of the driverside and front passenger side seatbelt systems. To ensure maximumprotection in an accident, the driverand all passengers in the vehiclemust wear their seat belts properly.Wearing a seat belt properly duringan accident reduces the chances ofdeath or serious injury or beingthrown out of the vehicle. For in-structions and precautions concern-ing the seat belt system, see “Seatbelts” on page 41 in this section.

If a child is too large for a child restraintsystem, the child should sit in the rearseat and must be restrained using thevehicle’s seat belt. See “Seat belts–” onpage 41 for details.
CAUTION
� For effective protection in automo-bile accidents and sudden stops, achild must be properly restrained,using a seat belt or child restraintsystem depending on the age andsize of the child. Holding a child inyour arms is not a substitute for achild restraint system. In an acci-dent, the child can be crushedagainst the windshield, or betweenyou and the vehicle’s interior.
28.Child restraint——Child restraint precautions
62
� Toyota strongly urges use of aproper child restraint system whichconforms to the size of the child,and is put on the rear seat. Accord-ing to accident statistics, the childis safer when properly restrained inthe rear seat than in the front seat.
� Never put a rear–facing child re-straint system on the front seat. Inthe event of an accident, the forceof the rapid inflation of the airbagcan cause death or serious injury ifa rear–facing child restraint systemis put on the front seat.
� Unless it is unavoidable, do not puta child restraint system on thefront seat.
� A forward–facing child restraintsystem should be allowed to put onthe front seat only when it is un-avoidable. Always move the seat asfar back as possible, because theforce of the deploying airbag couldcause death or serious injury to thechild.
� On vehicles with side airbags, donot allow the child to lean againstthe front door or around the frontdoor even if the child is seated inthe child restraint system. It is dan-gerous if the side airbag inflates,and the impact could cause deathor serious injury to the child.
� Make sure you have complied withall installation instructions providedby the child restraint manufacturerand that the system is properly se-cured.
A child restraint system for a smallchild or baby must itself be properlyrestrained on the seat with the lap por-tion of the lap/shoulder belt. You mustcarefully consult the manufacturer’s in-structions which accompany child re-straint system.
To provide proper restraint, use a childrestraint system following the manufactur-er’s instructions about the appropriate ageand size of the child for the child restraintsystem.
Install the child restraint system correctlyfollowing the instructions provided by itsmanufacturer. General directions are alsoprovided under the following instructions.
The child restraint system should beinstalled on the rear seat. According toaccident statistics, the child is safer whenproperly restrained in the rear seat thanin the front seat.

CAUTION
� Never put a rear–facing child re-straint system on the front seat. Inthe event of an accident, the forceof the rapid inflation of the airbagcan cause death or serious injury ifa rear–facing child restraint systemis put on the front seat.
� Unless it is unavoidable, do not puta child restraint system on thefront seat.
� A forward–facing child restraintsystem should be allowed to put onthe front seat only when it is un-avoidable. Always move the seat asfar back as possible, because theforce of the deploying airbag couldcause death or serious injury to thechild.
� On vehicles with side airbag, donot allow the child to lean againstthe front door or around the frontdoor even if the child is seated inthe child restraint system. It is dan-gerous if the side airbag inflates,and the impact could cause deathor serious injury to the child.
� After installing the child restraintsystem, make sure it is secured inplace following the manufacturer’sinstructions. If it is not restrainedsecurely, it may cause death or se-rious injury to the child in theevent of a sudden stop or accident.
When not using the child restraint system,keep it secured with the seat belt or placeit in the trunk or somewhere other than inthe passenger compartment. This will pre-vent it from injuring passengers in theevent of a sudden stop or accident.
For instructions about how to use the an-chor bracket, see “—Using a top strap” onpage 73 in this section.
Child restraint systems are classified intothe following 3 types depending on thechild’s age and size.
Install the child restraint system followingthe instructions provided by its manufac-turer.
Child restraint lower anchorages approvedfor your vehicle may also be used. See“—Installation with child restraint lower an-chorages” on page 75 in this section.

2. With your foot holding down the brakepedal, shift the selector lever to ”D”.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedalslowly for smooth starting.
25p004b
(c) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, shift the selectorlever to “B” position.
During high speed driving, you may feelthat deceleration by engine braking issmaller than that of ordinary vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with theselector lever in “B” position for a longtime. This may cause decreased fueleconomy. To prevent this, use “D” positionfor normal driving.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on aslippery surface. Abrupt shiftingcould cause the vehicle to spin orskid.
(d) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down withyour foot, shift the selector lever to the“R” position.
NOTICE
Never shift into reverse while the ve-hicle is moving.
(e) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down,fully depress the parking brake pedalto apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down,shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-tion.
107
If the driver’s door is opened when thethe “READY” light is on and the the selec-tor lever is at a position other than “P”with the parking brake applied, you willhear beeps to warn you to shift the selec-tor lever to the “P” position.
CAUTION
While the vehicle is moving, neverattempt to move the running modeselector lever into “P” position underany circumstances. Serious mechani-cal damage and loss of vehicle con-trol may result.
NOTICE
Be sure to put the selector lever in“P” position when parking. With theselector lever in “N” position, the hy-brid vehicle battery will not becharged even the gasoline engine op-erates. You cannot start your vehicleif the selector lever is left in “N”position for a long time because thehybrid vehicle battery will discharge.
(f) Vehicle driving characteristics
Creeping
In order to hold the vehicle properly on anincline and for better accelerator pedaloperation at starting, vehicle is designedlike an ordinary automatic transmissionvehicle which tends to move without de-pressing the accelerator pedal with theselector lever in a position other than “P”or “N”.
With the selector lever in a position otherthan “P” or “N”, depress the brake pedalfirmly even when stopped and apply theparking brake as required.
When moving in a restricted area or dur-ing traffic jam, it is an effective way tocontrol the speed using only the brakepedal operation without depressing the ac-celerator pedal.
Regenerative brake
When the accelerator pedal is released orthe brake pedal is depressed, the electricmotor acts as a generator and convertskinetic energy to electric energy to providedeceleration and recover the electric ener-gy to charge the hybrid vehicle battery.
At this time, the electric motor runningnoise becomes larger.
The operation is the same as an ordinarygasoline powered vehicle.
You may experience the following condi-tions while braking. As they do not indi-cate the malfunction, perform braking asusual:
� When you turn the ignition switch to“ON” with the brake pedal depressed,you may feel a little push from thebrake pedal.
� When you turn the ignition switch to“ACC” or “LOCK” from “ON”, the brakepedal may move a little.
108
Hybrid driving
This vehicle runs in combination with thegasoline engine and electric motor.
If the “READY” light is on, you can startyour vehicle even with the gasoline enginestopped.
When the hybrid vehicle battery tempera-ture is low or high, or the hybrid vehiclebattery capacity is decreased with the run-ning mode selector lever at “R” duringdriving, the output control warning light ison and the output power may be limited.
If the output control warning light is on,drive your vehicle without hard accelera-tion. The output power will be limited par-ticularly when backing up.
(g) If you cannot shift lever out of “P”position
If you cannot shift the selector lever fromthe “P” position even though the brakepedal is depressed, use the shift lockoverride button. For instructions, see “Ifyou cannot shift running mode selectorlever” on page 186 in Section 5.

54.Cruise controlThe cruise control allows you to cruisethe vehicle at a desired speed over 40km/h (25 mph) even with your foot offthe accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained upor down grades within the limits of hybridsystem performance, although a slightspeed change may occur when driving upor down the grades. On steeper hills, agreater speed change will occur so it isbetter to drive without the cruise control.
CAUTION
� To help maintain maximum controlof your vehicle, do not use thecruise control when driving inheavy or varying traffic, or on slip-pery (rainy, icy or snow –covered) orwinding roads.
� Avoid vehicle speed increases whendriving downhill. If the vehiclespeed is too fast in relation to thecruise control set speed, cancel thecruise control then shift the selec-tor lever to “B” position to use en-gine braking to slow down.
25p006
TURNING ON THE SYSTEM
To operate the cruise control, push the”CRUISE ON·OFF” switch. This turns thesystem on. The indicator light in theinstrument panel shows that you can nowset the vehicle at a desired cruisingspeed. Another push on the switch willturn the system completely off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control en-gagement, keep the ”CRUISE ON·OFF”switch off when not using the cruisecontrol.
25p007
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in ”D” or “B”before you set the cruise control speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,push the lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction and release it. This sets the ve-hicle at that speed.
If the speed is not satisfactory, tap thelever up for a faster speed, or tap it downfor a slower speed. Each tap changes theset speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You cannow take your foot off the acceleratorpedal.
110
If you need acceleration—for example,when passing—depress the acceleratorpedal enough for the vehicle to exceedthe set speed. When you release it, thevehicle will return to the speed set priorto the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:
a. Pulling the control lever in the”CANCEL” direction and releasing it.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-matically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10mph) below the preset speed, the presetspeed will also automatically cancel out.
If the preset speed automatically cancelsout other than for the above cases, haveyour vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-er at the earliest opportunity.
RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the ”RES/ACC” direc-tion and hold it. Release the lever whenthe desired speed is attained. While thelever is held up, the vehicle will graduallygain speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-celerate the vehicle and then push thecontrol lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction and hold it. Release the leverwhen the desired speed is attained. Whilethe lever is held down, the vehicle speedwill gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-press the brake pedal and then push thecontrol lever down in the ”SET/COAST”direction.
RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pullingthe control lever or by depressing thebrake pedal, pushing the lever up in the”RES/ACC” direction will restore the speedset prior to cancellation.
However, once the vehicle speed falls be-low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the presetspeed will not be resumed.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the ”CRUISE” indicator light in theinstrument cluster flashes when using thecruise control, press the ”CRUISEON·OFF” button to turn the system off andthen press it again to turn it on.

NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system op-erations:
� Be careful not to spill beveragesover the audio system.
� Do not put anything other than acassette tape into the cassette tapeslot.
� The use of a cellular phone insideor near the vehicle may cause anoise from the speakers of the au-dio system which you are listeningto. However, this does not indicatea malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
FM broadcasts have a range of about 40km or 25 miles. When driving away froma station, you may have to fine–tune yourradio and turn up the volume as the sta-tion gets weaker. Because FM uses aline–of–sight signal, tall buildings or hillsmay sometimes block reception. Theseare all normal characteristics of FM recep-tion and do not indicate any problem withthe radio itself.
CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYERAND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-larly.
� A dirty tape head or tape path candecrease sound quality and tangle yourcassette tapes. The easiest way toclean them is by using a cleaning tape.(A wet type is recommended.)
Use high–quality cassettes:
� Low–quality cassette tapes can causemany problems, including poor sound,inconsistent playing speed, andconstant auto–reversing. They can alsoget stuck or tangled in the cassetteplayer.
� Do not use a cassette if it has beendamaged or tangled or if its label ispeeling off.
� Do not leave a cassette in the playerif you are not listening to it, especiallyif it is hot outside.
� Store cassettes in their cases and outof direct sunlight.
� Avoid using cassettes with a total play-ing time longer than 100 minutes (50minutes per side). The tape used inthese cassettes is thin and could getstuck or tangled in the cassette player.

CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do notremove the radiator cap when the en-gine is hot.
158.Coolant type selection
Use of improper coolants may damageyour cooling system. Your coolant mustcontain ethylene–glycol type coolant for aproper corrosion protection of your hybridsystem that contains aluminum compo-nents. We have used “Toyota GenuineLong Life Coolant” in your Toyota vehicle.In order to avoid technical problems, westrongly recommend using “Toyota Genu-ine Long Life Coolant” or equivalent.
In addition to preventing freezing and sub-sequent damage to the hybrid system, thistype of coolant will also prevent corrosion.Further supplemental inhibitors or additivesare neither needed nor recommended.
Read the coolant container for informationon freeze protection. Follow the manufac-turer’s directions for how much to mixwith plain water (preferably demineralizedwater of distilled water). The total capacityof the cooling system is given on page240 in Section 9.
We recommend to use 50% solution foryour Toyota, to provide protection down toabout –35°C (–31°F). When it is extremelycold, to provide protection down to about–50°C (–58°F), 60% solution is recom-mended. Do not use more than 70% solu-tion for better coolant performance.
NOTICE
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze orplain water alone.
The engine cooling system is integral tomaximizing performance of your Toyotavehicle. In line with this, it is stronglyrecommended that you use “Toyota Genu-ine Long Life Coolant” for protecting thesystem, as it is an ethylene–glycol basedpremium antifreeze coolant with excellentcorrosion protection properties that hasbeen specifically formulated for use inToyota vehicles.Please contact your Toyota dealer for fur-ther details of the “Toyota Genuine LongLife Coolant” range.

If any of the above parts are extremelydirty or you are not sure of their condi-tion, take your vehicle to Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
To prevent yourself from burning, becareful not to touch the radiator orcondenser when the engine is hot.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the radiatorand condenser, do not perform thework by yourself.
160.Checking brake fluid
82p002a
To check the fluid level, simply look atthe see–through reservoir. The levelshould be between the ”MAX” and”MIN” lines on the reservoir.
It is normal for the brake fluid level to godown slightly as the brake pads wear orwhen the fluid level in the accumulator ishigh.
If the reservoir needs frequent refueling,it may indicate a serious mechanical prob-lem.
If the level is low, add SAE J1703 orFMVSS No. 116 DOT 3 brake fluid tothe brake reservoir.
Refilling brake fluid:
1. Turn the ignition switch off.
2. Depress the brake pedal more than 40times.
3. Remove the reservoir cap by hand.Add brake fluid up to the ”MAX” line.
If you do not follow the procedure above,the reservoir may overflow.
Use only newly opened brake fluid. Onceopened, brake fluid absorbs moisture fromthe air, and excess moisture can cause adangerous loss of braking.
CAUTION
Take care when filling the r eservoirbecause brake fluid can harm youreyes and damage painted surfaces. Iffluid gets in your eyes, flush youreyes with clean water immediately. Ifyou still feel uncomfortable with youreyes, go to the doctor.

Keep your tire pressures at the properlevel.
The recommended cold tire pressures, tiresize and the vehicle capacity weight aregiven on page 241 in Section 9. They arealso on the tire pressure label as shown.
You should check the tire pressures everytwo weeks, or at least once a month. Anddo not forget the spare!
Incorrect tire pressure may waste fuel,reduce the comfort of driving, reducetire life and make your vehicle less safeto drive.
If a tire frequently needs refilling, have itchecked by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Keep your tire pressure properly.Otherwise, the following conditionsmay occur and cause an accident re-sulting in death or serious injuries.
Low tire pressure (underinflation)—
� Excessive wear
� Uneven wear
� Poor handling
� Possibility of blowouts from over-heated tire.
� Poor sealing of the tire bead
� Wheel deformation and/or tire sepa-ration
High tire pressure (Overinflation)—
� Poor handling
� Excessive wear at the center of thetire tread
� A greater possibility of tire damagefrom road hazards
The following instructions for checkingtire pressure should be observed:
� The pressure should be checkedonly when the tires are cold. If yourvehicle has been parked for at least 3hours and has not been driven formore than 1.5 km or 1 mile since, youwill get an accurate cold tire pressurereading.
� Always use a tire pressure gauge.The appearance of a tire can be mis-leading. Besides, tire pressures thatare even just a few pounds off candegrade ride and handling.
� Take special care when adding air tothe compact spare tire. The smallertire size can gain pressure very quick-ly. Add compressed air in small quanti-ties and check the pressure often untilit reaches the specified pressure.
� Do not bleed or reduce tire pressureafter driving. It is normal for the tirepressure to be higher after driving.
� Never exceed the vehicle capacityweight. The passenger and luggageweight should be located so that thevehicle is balanced.
162.Checking tire pressure
220
� Be sure to reinstall the tire inflationvalve caps. Without the valve caps,dirt or moisture could get into thevalve core and cause air leakage. Ifthe caps have been lost, have newones put on as soon as possible.
82p004b
Tread wear indicator
CHECKING YOUR TIRES
Check the tire tread for the tread wearindicators. If the indicators show, re-place the tires.
The tires on your Toyota have built–intread wear indicators to help you knowwhen the tires need replacement. Whenthe tread depth wears to 1.6 mm (0.06in.) or less, the indicators will appear. Ifyou can see the indicators in two or moreadjacent grooves, the tire should be re-placed. The lower the tread, the higherthe risk of skidding.
The effectiveness of snow tires is lostif the tread wears down below 4 mm(0.16 in.).
If you have tire damage such as cuts,splits, cracks deep enough to exposethe fabric, or bulges indicating internaldamage, the tire should be replaced.
If a tire often goes flat or cannot be prop-erly repaired due to the size or locationof a cut or other damage, it should bereplaced. If you are not sure, consult withyour Toyota dealer.
If an air loss occurs while driving, do notcontinue driving with a deflated tire. Driv-ing even a short distance can damage atire beyond repair.
Any tires which are over 6 years oldmust be checked by a qualified techni-cian even if damage is not obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if theyhave never or seldom been used.
This also applies to the spare tire andtires stored for future use.
REPLACING YOUR TIRES
When replacing a tire, use only thesame size and construction as original-ly installed and with the same or great-er load capacity.
163.Checking and replacingtires
221
Using any other size or type of tire mayseriously affect handling, ride, speedome-ter/odometer calibration, ground clearance,and clearance between the body and tiresor snow chains.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.Otherwise, an accident may occur re-sulting in death or serious injuries.
� Do not mix radial, bias belted, orbias–ply tires on your vehicle, asthis may cause dangerous handlingcharacteristics resulting in loss ofcontrol.
� Do not use tires other than themanufacturer’s recommended size,as this may cause dangerous han-dling characteristics resulting inloss of control.
Toyota recommends all four tires, or atleast both front or rear tires be re-placed as a set.
See “If you have a flat tire” on page 175in Section 5 for tire change procedure.
When a tire is replaced, the wheelshould always be balanced.
An unbalanced wheel may affect vehiclehandling and tire life. Wheels can get outof balance with regular use and shouldtherefore be balanced occasionally.
When replacing a tubeless tire, the airvalve should also be replaced with anew one.
82p104
To equalize tire wear and help extendtire life, Toyota recommends that yourotate your tires according to the main-tenance schedule. (For scheduled main-tenance information, please refer to the“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.) Howev-er, the most appropriate timing for tirerotation may vary according to yourdriving habits and road surface condi-tions.
See “If you have a flat tire” on page 175in Section 5 for tire change procedure.
164.Rotating tires
222
When rotating tires, check for unevenwear and damage. Abnormal wear is usu-ally caused by incorrect tire pressure, im-proper wheel alignment, out–of–balancewheels, or severe braking.
CAUTION
Do not include a compact spare tirewhen rotating the tires. It is designedfor temporary use only.
WHEN TO USE SNOW TIRES ORCHAINS
Snow tires or chains are recommendedwhen driving on snow or ice.
On wet or dry roads, conventional tiresprovide better traction than snow tires.
SNOW TIRE SELECTION
If you need snow tires, select the samesize, construction and load capacity asthe original tires on your Toyota.
Do not use tires other than those men-tioned above. Do not install studded tireswithout first checking local regulations forpossible restrictions.
SNOW TIRE INSTALLATION
Snow tires should be installed on allwheels.
Installing snow tires on the front wheelsonly can lead to an excessive differencein road grip capability between the frontand rear tires which could cause loss ofvehicle control.
When storing removed tires, you shouldstore them in a cool dry place.
Mark the direction of rotation and be sureto install them in the same direction whenreplacing.
CAUTION
� Do not drive with the snow tiresincorrectly inflated.
� Never drive over 120 km/h (75 mph)with any type of snow tires.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to use a tire chain onthe compact spare tire, as it may re-sult in damage to the vehicles as wellas the tire.
Installing snow tires andchains165.
223
TIRE CHAIN SELECTION
Use the tire chains of correct size.
Regulations regarding the use of tirechains vary according to location ortype of road, so always check thembefore installing chains.
CHAIN INSTALLATION
Install the chains on the front tires astightly as possible. Do not use tirechains on the rear tires. Retightenchains after driving 0.5—1.0 km(1/4—1/2 mile).
When installing chains on your tires, care-fully follow the instructions of the chainmanufacturer.
If wheel covers are used, they will bescratched by the chain band, so removethe covers before putting on the chains.
CAUTION
� Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) orthe chain manufacturer’s recom-mended speed limit, whichever islower.
� Drive carefully avoiding bumps,holes, and sharp turns, which maycause the vehicle to bounce.
� Avoid sharp turns or locked–wheelbraking, as use of chains may ad-versely affect vehicle handling.
� When driving with chains installed,be sure to drive carefully. Slowdown before entering the curves toavoid losing control of the vehicle.Otherwise an accident may occur.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to use a tire chain onthe compact spare tire, as it may re-sult in damage to the vehicle as wellas the tire.
WHEN TO REPLACE YOUR WHEELS
If you have wheel damage such asbending, cracks or heavy corrosion, thewheel should be replaced.
If you fail to replace damaged wheels, thetire may slip off the wheel or cause lossof handling control.
WHEEL SELECTION
When replacing wheels, care should betaken to ensure that the wheels are re-placed by ones with the same load ca-pacity, diameter, rim width, and offset.
This must be observed on compact sparetire, too.
Correct replacement wheels are availableat your Toyota dealer.
A wheel of a different size or type mayadversely affect handling, wheel and bear-ing life, brake cooling, speedometer/odom-eter calibration, stopping ability, headlightaim, bumper height, vehicle ground clear-ance, and tire or snow chain clearance tothe body and chassis.
166.Replacing wheels
224
Replacement with used wheels is not rec-ommended as they may have been sub-jected to rough treatment or high mileageand could fail without warning. Also, bentwheels which have been straightened mayhave structural damage and thereforeshould not be used. Never use an innertube in a leaking wheel which is designedfor a tubeless tire.
� When installing aluminum wheels,check that the wheel nuts are tightafter driving your vehicle the first 1600km (1000 miles).
� If you have rotated, repaired, orchanged your tires, check that thewheel nuts are still tight after driving1600 km (1000 miles).
� When using tire chains, be careful notto damage the aluminum wheels.
� Use only the Toyota wheel nuts andwrench designed for your aluminumwheels.
� When balancing your wheels, use onlyToyota balance weights or equivalentand a plastic or rubber hammer.
� As with any wheel, periodically checkyour aluminum wheels for damage. Ifdamaged, replace immediately.

If the headlights or other electricalcomponents do not work, check thefuses. If any of the fuses are blown,they must be replaced.
See “Fuse locations” on page 205 in Sec-tion 8–1 for locations of the fuses.
Turn the ignition switch and inoperativecomponent off. Pull a suspected fusestraight out and check it.
Determine which fuse may be causing theproblem. The lid of the fuse box showsthe name of the circuit for each fuse. Seepage 242 in Section 9 for the functionscontrolled by each circuit.
Type A fuses can be pulled out by thepull–out tool. The location of the pull–outtool is shown in the illustration.
If you are not sure whether the fuse hasblown, try replacing the suspected fusewith one that you know is good.
If the fuse has blown, push a new fuseinto the clip.
Only install a fuse with the amperage rat-ing designated on the fuse box lid.
If you do not have a spare fuse, in anemergency you can pull out the “DOME”or “OBDII ” fuse, which may be dispens-able for normal driving, and use it if itsamperage rating is the same.
If you cannot use one of the same amper-age, use one that is lower, but as closeas possible to, the rating. If the amperageis lower than that specified, the fusemight blow out again. but this does notindicate anything wrong. Be sure to getthe correct fuse as soon as possible andreturn the substitute to its original clip.
It is a good idea to purchase a set ofspare fuses and keep them in your ve-hicle for emergencies.
If the new fuse immediately blows out,there is a problem with the electrical sys-tem. Have your Toyota dealer correct it assoon as possible.
CAUTION
Never use a fuse with a higher am-perage rating, or any other object, inplace of a fuse. This may cause ex-tensive damage and possibly a fire.

If any washer does not work, the wash-er tank may be empty. Check the wash-er fluid level on the level gauge. If thewasher fluid level is below “LOW”, addwasher fluid.
“ FULL” on the side of the washer tankindicates the full level of washer fluid. Donot refill washer fluid over this level.
You may use plain water as washer fluid.However, in cold areas where tempera-tures range below freezing point, usewasher fluid containing antifreeze. Thisproduct is available at your Toyota dealerand most auto parts stores. Follow themanufacturer’s directions for how much tomix with water.
NOTICE
Do not use engine antifreeze or anyother substitute because it may dam-age your vehicle’s paint.
The following illustrations show how togain access to the bulbs. When replacinga bulb, make sure the ignition switch andlight switch are off. Use bulbs with thewattage ratings given in the table.
CAUTION
� To prevent burning yourself, do notreplace the light bulbs while theyare hot.
� Halogen bulbs have pressurized gasinside and require special handling.They can burst or shatter ifscratched or dropped. Hold a bulbonly by its plastic or metal case.Do not touch the glass part of abulb with bare hands.
The inside of the lens of exterior lightssuch as headlights may temporarily fog upwhen the lense becomes wet in the rainor in a car wash. This is not a problembecause the fogging is caused by thetemperature difference between the outsideand inside of the lense, just like thewindshield fogged up in the rain. However,if there is a large drop of water on theinside of the lense, or if there is waterpooled inside the light, contact yourToyota dealer.
