Hybrid Synergy Drive System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the multi-information display or the Display Audio System.
TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY

-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
STARTING THE HYBRID SYSTEM
(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”

(2) Vehicles with Smart Key system:
Depress the brake pedal, and press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
Vehicles without Smart Key system:
Depress the brake pedal, and turn the key to the “START” position.
(3) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains
steady and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE™
Quick overview-Toyota Safety Sense™ C (TSS-C)

Toyota Safety Sense™ C (TSS-C) is a set of active safety technologies designed to
help mitigate or prevent collisions across a wide range of traffic situations, in certain
conditions. TSS-C is designed to help support the driver’s awareness, decision making
and vehicle operation contributing to a safe driving experience.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for operation, setting adjustments, limitations and
more details to understand these functions and complete safety precautions. For
more information, please go to http://www.toyota.com/safety-sense
Pre-Collision System (PCS)

PCS is designed to provide alert, mitigation, and/or avoidance
support in certain conditions, when the system detects a potential
collision with a preceding vehicle is likely to occur.
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)

LDA is designed to provide notification when the system detects
an unintended lane departure.
Auto High Beams (AHB)

AHB is designed to detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles
and the tail lights of preceding vehicles and switch between high
beams and low beams as appropriate.
Sensors
TSS-C combines an in-vehicle camera and laser mounted in front of the inside rear
view mirror. These sensors support the driver assist systems.

24
Pre-Collision System (PCS)
OVERVIEW
The Pre-Collision System uses a laser sensor and camera sensor to help detect

vehicles in front of your vehicle.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control performance that
this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. This system will not prevent
collisions or lessen collision damage or injury in every situation. Do not use PCS
instead of normal braking operations under any circumstances. Do not attempt to test
the operation of the Pre-Collision System yourself, as the system may not operate or
engage, possibly leading to an accident. In some situations, such as when driving in
inclement weather such as heavy rain, fog, snow or a sandstorm or while driving on a
curve and for a few seconds after driving on a curve, a vehicle may not be detected
by the laser and camera sensors, preventing the system from operating or engaging
properly.
Refer to a Toyota Owner’s Manual for a list of additional situations in which the
system may not operate properly.
Pre-Collision Warning
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE

When the system determines that the possibility of a frontal collision is high, a buzzer
will sound and a warning message will be displayed on the Multi-Information Display
(MID) to urge the driver to take evasive action.
Pre-Collision Brake Assist
If the driver notices the hazard and brakes, the system may provide additional braking
force using Brake Assist. This system may prime the brakes and may apply greater
braking force in relation to how strongly the brake pedal is depressed.
Pre-Collision Braking
If the driver does not brake in a set time and the system determines that the possibility
of a frontal collision with a preceding vehicle is extremely high, the system may
automatically apply the brakes, reducing speed in order to help the driver reduce the
impact and in certain cases avoid the collision.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on PCS operation,
settings adjustments, limitations, and precautions before attempting to use it.

26
Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
OVERVIEW
LDA in TSS-C uses an in-vehicle camera designed to detect visible white and yellow
lane markers in front of the vehicle and the vehicle’s position on the road. If the system
determines that the vehicle is starting to unintentionally deviate from its lane, the system

alerts the driver with an audio and visual alert. When the alerts occur, the driver must
check the surrounding road situation and carefully operate the steering wheel to move
the vehicle back to the center part of their lane.
LDA is designed to function at speeds of approximately 32 MPH or higher on relatively
straight roadways.
TURNING ON THE LDA SYSTEM
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE
Press the LDA switch to turn the LDA system on. Depress again to turn it off.
Note: Operation of the LDA system and setting adjustments continues in the
same condition regardless of Ignition cycle until changed by the driver or the

28
Automatic High Beams (AHB)
OVERVIEW
(1) (2)
AHB is a safety system designed to help drivers see more of what’s ahead at nighttime

without dazzling other drivers. When enabled, AHB uses an in-vehicle camera to
help detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and tail lights of preceding vehicles,
then automatically switches between high and low beams as appropriate to provide
the most light possible and enhance forward visibility. By using high beams more
frequently, the system may allow earlier detection of pedestrians and obstacles.
Refer to the Toyota Owner’s Manual for additional information on AHB operation,
ACTIVATING THE AHB SYSTEM

With the engine switch in IGNITION ON mode and headlight switch turned to “AUTO”
position, push lever away from you.
The will come on when the headlights are turned on automatically to indicate
that the system is active.
TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE

Note: Pull the lever back toward you to turn the AHB system off.
The will turn off and the high beam indicator turns on.
CONDITIONS WHERE AHB WILL TURN ON/OFF AUTOMATICALLY
When all of these conditions are met, high beams will be automatically turned on
(after approximately 1 second):
• Vehicle speed is above approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no oncoming or preceding vehicles with headlights or tail lights turned
on.
If any of these conditions occur, high beams will be automatically turned off:
• Vehicle speed drops below approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is not dark.
• Oncoming or preceding vehicles have headlights or tail lights
turned on.
• There are many streetlights on the road ahead.

Star Safety System™
Your Toyota vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart Stop
Technology (SST).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important information on limitations
to these systems.
VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power and
applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces
engine power and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps restore traction
and vehicle control.
TRACTION CONTROL (TRAC)

VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing engine power, and
Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy, or uneven
surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits engine output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)

Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)

Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle to tilt
forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to sudden
stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all four
wheels.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)

Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly than
just the driver alone can.
32
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
OVERVIEW
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces engine power when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling
backward.
Floor mat installation

There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use Toyota floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.
Always align the marks
