(cid:2) Long exposure to direct sunlight may cause the leather surface to harden and shrink. Keep your ve- hicle in a shaded area, especially in the summer.

(cid:2) The interior of your vehicle is apt to heat up on hot summer days, so avoid placing on the upholstery items made of vinyl or plastic or containing wax as these tend to stick to leather when warm.

(cid:2) Improper cleaning of the leather up- holstery could result in discolor- ation or staining.

If you have any questions about the cleaning of your Toyota, your local Toyota dealer will be pleased to answer them.

Maintenance requirements Your Toyota vehicle has been designed for fewer maintenance requirements with long- er service intervals to save both your time and money. However, each regular mainte- nance, as well as day–to–day care, is more important than ever before to ensure smooth, trouble–free, safe, and economical driving. It is the owner’s responsibility to make sure the specified maintenance, including general maintenance service, is performed. Note the new vehicle and emission control system warranties specify that proper maintenance and care must be performed. ”Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement” warranty information. General maintenance General maintenance items are those day– to–day care practices that are important to your vehicle for proper operation. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the general maintenance items are performed regularly. These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or a qualified technician, or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be pleased to do them at a nominal cost.

Scheduled maintenance The scheduled maintenance items listed in the ”Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or ”Owner’s Manual Supplement” are those required 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 genuine Toyota parts be used for maintenance or for the repair of the emission con- trol system. The owner may elect to use non–Toyota supplied parts replacement pur- poses without invalidating the emission control system warranty. However, use of replacement parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the effec- tiveness of the emission control sys- tems. You may also elect to have mainte- nance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system performed by any automotive repair es- tablishment or individual without invali- dating this warranty. See ”Owner’s War- ranty Information Booklet” or ”Owner’s Manual 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 the latest service information through technical bulletins, service tips, and in–dealership training programs. They learn to work on Toyotas before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are working on it. You can be confident that your Toyota dealer’s service department performs the best job to meet the maintenance require- ments on your vehicle–reliably and eco- nomically. Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required maintenance has been per- formed for warranty coverage. And if any problems should arise with your vehicle while under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any service performed on your Toyota. What about do–it–yourself maintenance? Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechani- cal ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to per- form them are presented in Section 8.

tip–offs

for changes

Does your vehicle need repairing? Be on the alert in perfor- mance, sounds, and visual that indicate service is needed. Some impor- tant clues are as follows: (cid:1) Engine missing, stumbling, or pinging (cid:1) Appreciable loss of power (cid:1) Strange engine noises (cid:1) A fluid leak under the vehicle (however, water dripping from the air conditioning after use is normal.)

(cid:1) Change

in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked im- mediately.)

(cid:1) Flat–looking tire; excessive tire squeal

when cornering; uneven tire wear

(cid:1) Vehicle pulls to one side when driving

straight on a level road

(cid:1) Strange noises related to suspension

movement

(cid:1) Loss of brake effectiveness; spongy feeling brake pedal; pedal almost touches floor; vehicle pulls to one side when braking

(cid:1) Coolant temperature continually higher

than normal

If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. It probably needs adjustment or repair.

CAUTION

Do not continue driving with the ve- hicle unchecked. It could result in se- rious vehicle damage and possibly personal injury.

To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll–free at 1–800–424–9393 (or 366–0123
in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

Reporting safety defects for U.S. owners If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the Na- tional Highway Traffic Safety Ad- ministration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., (Toll–free: Inc. 1–800–331–4331).

If NHTSA receives similar com- plaints, it may open an investiga- tion, and if it finds that a safety de- fect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual prob- lems between you, your dealer, or Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

Uniform tire quality grading This information has been prepared in ac- cordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis- tration of the U.S. Department of Trans- portation. It provides the purchasers and/ or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades—All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A.

in addition

to

from

Tread wear—The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1–1/2) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi- tions of their use, however, and may de- part significantly the norm due to variations in driving habits, service prac- tices and differences in road characteris- tics and climate. Traction AA, A, B, C—The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C, and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as mea- sured under controlled conditions on spe- cified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Warning: The traction grade assigned to this is based on braking (straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turning) traction.

tire

Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi- pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to de- generate and reduce tire life, and exces- sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a lev- el of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor- mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is prop- erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces- sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina- tion, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Toyota hybrid system operating condition Basic operations are described below. Be- sides, Toyota hybrid system performs vari- ous controls depending on the operating condition, such as at the time of hybrid system starting, at the time of charging should be required, at the time of the air conditioning is in use, etc.

Since the battery is charged by the gasoline engine as needed, it does not require charging from the outside like an electric vehicle. In this way, greatly improved fuel economy and reduced emissions are attained. If you do not use the vehicle for a long time, the hybrid vehicle battery will dis- charge and the battery condition is liable to decline.

to

the

improve

Toyota hybrid system Toyota hybrid system combines the gasoline engine and the electric motor power fuel economy largely and minimize the emissions as well as to provide higher power perfor- mance than the ordinary gasoline–pow- ered vehicles. Depending on the driving condition, the vehicle runs on the best combination of; (cid:1) Gasoline engine power (cid:1) Electric motor power generated by

the gasoline engine

(cid:1) Electric motor power of the hybrid

vehicle battery

Furthermore, the energy is effectively used in the following ways: (cid:1) When stopping the vehicle, the gaso-

line engine is automatically stopped.

(cid:1) When decreasing the speed by apply- ing the brakes, electricity converted from the turning force of the wheels is stored the hybrid vehicle battery. (This is called regenerative brake.)

When starting or backing up, etc., the gasoline engine efficiency worsens, so the vehicle runs on electric power from hybrid vehicle battery.

During normal driving, the vehicle runs mainly on gasoline power. However, the electric motor, using electric power gener- ated by the gasoline engine, makes up for any deficiency of gasoline power. The vehicle controls the optimum ratio of the gasoline and electric power to help save energy more effectively.

When driving at full throttle, electric power is further applied from the hybrid vehicle battery. Vehicle performance impro- ves.

Storing electric power

Not in use

When decreasing speed or applying the brakes, the turning force of the wheels the electric motor operate as a makes generator and additional electricity is stored in the hybrid vehicle battery (regen- erative brake).

When stopping, the gasoline engine auto- matically shuts off.

Charging hybrid vehicle battery When the hybrid vehicle battery power is insufficient, the gasoline engine charges the hybrid vehicle battery. The system al- ways supplies electricity at a constant lev- el.

For efficient use of your vehicle Drive your vehicle with a smooth accel- eration and deceleration. (cid:1) When driving, energy is effectively re- covered through the regenerative brake as the vehicle decelerates. However, for more efficient use, do not acceler- ate or decelerate your vehicle more than necessary.

(cid:1) By avoiding abrupt acceleration and de- celeration, the remaining capacity of the hybrid vehicle battery can be pre- served and it makes it possible to run the vehicle utilizing the gasoline engine and the electric power from the hybrid vehicle battery.

(cid:1) The remaining capacity of the hybrid vehicle battery can be confirmed on the energy monitor screen of the multi– information display. See “Information” on 113 page in Section 2–6 for details. As the way in which you drive may decrease the remaining capacity of the hybrid vehicle battery and reduce fuel economy, drive your vehicle without abrupt acceleration or deceleration.

Use the “A/C” mode (with the “A/C” button only on) when you use the air conditioning. (cid:1) As

If the output control warning light ( comes on in the instrument cluster, the hybrid vehicle battery temperature is low or high, or the hybrid vehicle bat- tery capacity is decreased with the se- lector lever at “R” during driving. As it does not indicate the failure of the sys- tem, you can continue driving but avoid hard acceleration because the power is insufficient (which is caused by the bat- tery power deterioration).

Precautions for use The vehicle runs in combination with the gasoline and electric power. Pay special attention to the following items. Be careful of a high voltage and high temperature. Your vehicle is equipped with the orange colored cables connected the hybrid vehicle battery which contain a high volt- age (about 300 V) and to other high volt- age parts.

to

CAUTION

Do not touch or come in contact with orange cables or battery terminals. Electric shock may cause serious in- jury or death. Read all caution labels.

A electric motor, coolant radiator and some other parts reach high temperature when you are driving. Caution labels are applied to these parts. Carefully observe the instructions on these caution labels.

(cid:1) The hybrid system automatically con- trols the level of electrical power re- maining in the hybrid vehicle battery. With the selector lever in a position other than “N”, electricity is generated and charging occurs when the level of electrical power in the hybrid vehicle battery decreases. It is unnecessary to charge the hybrid vehicle battery from outside.

INFORMATION: The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. (It stops during a low load driving, deceleration or when the vehicle stopped.) If the “READY” light remains on, you can start your vehicle using the electric motor even with the gasoline engine stopped. The gasoline engine may not stop auto- matically in the following conditions:

(cid:2) During under gasoline engine warm–

Keys

21p001

Your vehicle is supplied with two kinds of keys. 1. Master key (black)—This key works in lock. Your Toyota dealer will every need it to make you a new key with built–in transponder chip.

2. Sub key (gray)—This key will not work

in the trunk.

A transponder chip for the hybrid vehicle immobiliser system has been filled in the head of the master and sub keys. These chips are required for the system to func- tion correctly, so be careful not to lose these keys. If you make your own dupli- cate key, you will not be able to cancel the system or start the hybrid system. To protect items locked in the trunk when someone else parks your vehicle for you (such as an attendant or valet), leave the sub key with them. Since the doors and trunk can be locked without a key, you should always carry a spare master key in case you accidentally lock your keys inside the vehicle.

21p002a

NOTICE

When using a key containing a trans- ponder chip, observe the following precautions: (cid:2) When starting the hybrid system, do not use the key with a key ring resting on the key grip and do not press the key ring against the key grip. Doing so may prevent the hy- brid system from starting.

18

21p003a

(cid:2) Do not bend the key grip.

(cid:2) When starting the hybrid system, do not use the key in proximity with other transponder keys (includ- ing keys of other vehicles) and do not press other key plates against the key grip. Doing so may prevent the hybrid system from starting or, may cause the hybrid system to stop soon after it starts. If this hap- pens, remove the key once and then insert it again after taking off other transponder keys (including keys of other vehicles) from the ring or while gripping or covering them with your hand to start the hybrid system.

(cid:2) Do not cover the key grip with any material that cuts off electromagnet- ic waves.

(cid:2) Do not knock the key hard against

other objects.

(cid:2) Do not leave the key exposed to high temperatures for a long period, such as on the dashboard or hood under direct sunlight.

(cid:2) Do not put the key in water or

wash it in an ultrasonic washer.

(cid:2) Do not use the key with electromag-

KEY NUMBER PLATE Your key number is shown on the plate. Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. If you should lose your keys or if you need additional keys, duplicates can be made by a Toyota dealer using the key number. We recommend that you write down the key number and keep it in a safe place.

The hybrid vehicle immobiliser system is a theft prevention system. When you insert the key in the ignition switch, the transponder chip in the key’s head transmits an electronic code to the ve- hicle. The hybrid system will start, only when the electronic code in the chip corresponds to the registered ID code for the vehicle.
