High coolant temperature warning light in red

The indicator and warning lights indi- cate the coolant temperature when the ignition switch is on. The hybrid sys- tem operating temperature will vary with changes in weather and hybrid system load. The red high coolant temperature warning light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position. After a few seconds, the light will go off. If your coolant temperature is cool with the ignition switch on, the blue low cool- ant temperature indicator light comes on. If it keeps lighting on with the hybrid sys- tem fully warmed, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible to service the vehicle.

If the red high coolant temperature warn- ing light comes on, your hybrid system is too hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your vehicle and allow the hybrid system to cool. Your vehicle may overheat during severe operating conditions, such as: (cid:1) Driving up a long hill on a hot day. (cid:1) Reducing speed or stopping after high

speed driving.

NOTICE

(cid:2) Do not remove the thermostat in the cooling system as this may cause the hybrid system to over- heat. The thermostat is designed to control the flow of coolant to keep the temperature of the hybrid sys- tem within the specified operating range.

(cid:2) Do not continue driving with an overheated hybrid system. See “If your vehicle overheats” on page 172 in Section 5.

If you leave your key in the “ACC” posi- tion for a while, put the running mode selector lever in “P” position. If you the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and open the driver’s door, a buzzer will remind you to remove the key. “LOCK”—The hybrid system is off and the steering wheel is locked. The key can be removed only at this position. You must push in the key to turn it from “ACC” to the “LOCK” position. The selec- tor lever must be put in the “P” position before pushing the key. Vehicles with hybrid vehicle immobiliser system–Once you remove the key, the hy- brid vehicle immobiliser system is auto- matically set. (See “Hybrid vehicle immobi- liser system” on page 20 in Section 2–1.) When starting the hybrid system, the key may seem stuck at the “LOCK” position. To free it, first be sure the key is pushed all the way in, and then rock the steering wheel slightly while turning the key gently.

(c) Using engine braking To use engine braking, shift the selector lever to “B” position. During high speed driving, you may feel that deceleration by engine braking is smaller than that of ordinary vehicle. Do not continue normal driving with the selector lever in “B” position for a long time. This may cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent this, use “D” position for normal driving.

(b) Normal driving 1. Start the hybrid system as instructed in ”How to start the hybrid system” on page 162 in Section 4. The transmis- sion must be in ”P”.

2. With your foot holding down the brake

pedal, shift the selector lever to ”D”.

CAUTION

Never put your foot on the accelera- tor pedal while shifting.

3. With

the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the “P” posi- tion.

If the driver’s door is opened when the the “READY” light is on and the the selec- tor lever is at a position other than “P” with the parking brake applied, you will hear beeps to warn you to shift the selec- tor lever to the “P” position.

CAUTION

While the vehicle is moving, never attempt to move the running mode selector lever into “P” position under any 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 the selector lever in “N” position, the hy- brid vehicle battery will not be charged even the gasoline engine op- erates. You cannot start your vehicle if the selector lever is left in “N” position for a long time because the hybrid vehicle battery will discharge.

(f) Vehicle driving characteristics Creeping In order to hold the vehicle properly on an incline and for better accelerator pedal operation at starting, vehicle is designed like an ordinary automatic transmission vehicle which tends to move without de- pressing the selector lever in a position other than “P” or “N”. With the selector lever in a position other than “P” or “N”, depress the brake pedal firmly even when stopped and apply the parking brake as required. When moving in a restricted area or dur- ing traffic jam, it is an effective way to control the brake pedal operation without depressing the ac- celerator pedal. Regenerative brake When the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed, the electric motor acts as a generator and converts kinetic energy to electric energy to provide deceleration and recover the electric ener- gy to charge the hybrid vehicle battery.

The operation is the same as an ordinary gasoline powered vehicle. You may experience the following condi- tions while braking. As they do not indi- cate the malfunction, perform braking as usual: (cid:1) When you turn the ignition switch to “ON” with the brake pedal depressed, you may feel a little push from the brake pedal.

(cid:1) When you turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or “LOCK” from “ON”, the brake pedal may move a little.

Hybrid driving This vehicle runs in combination with the gasoline engine and electric motor. If the “READY” light is on, you can start your vehicle even with the gasoline engine stopped. When the hybrid vehicle battery tempera- ture is low or high, or the hybrid vehicle battery capacity is decreased with the run- ning mode selector lever at “R” during driving, the output control warning light is on 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)

Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades within the limits of hybrid system performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control.

CAUTION

(cid:1) To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slip- pery (rainy, icy or snow–covered) or winding roads.

If

(cid:1) Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then shift the selec- tor lever to “B” position to use en- gine braking to slow down.

CAUTION

To avoid accidental cruise control en- gagement, keep the ”CRUISE ON·OFF” switch off when not using the cruise control.

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 the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can now the accelerator pedal.

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the ”RES/ACC” direc- tion and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. However, a faster way to reset is to ac- celerate the vehicle and then push the control 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 lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. However, a faster way to reset is to de- press the brake pedal and then push the control lever down in the ”SET/COAST” direction.

If you need acceleration—for example, when passing—depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED You can cancel the preset speed by: in a. Pulling

b. Depressing the brake pedal. If the vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto- matically cancel out. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the preset speed will also automatically cancel out. If the preset speed automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal- er at the earliest opportunity.
