4-2.Driving p rocedures
1 Pull the parking brake switch
to check that the parking
brake is set. (P.224)
The parking brake indicator will
come on.
2 Check that the shift lever is in
P.
3 Firmly depress the brake
pedal.
4 Turn the power switch to
START to start the hybrid
system.
If the “READY” indicator turns on,
the hybrid system will operate nor-
mally.
Continue depressing the brake
pedal until the “READY” indicator is
illuminated.
5 Check that the “READY” indi-
cator is illuminated.
If the “READY” indicator changes
from a flashing light to a solid light
and the buzzer sounds, the hybrid
system is starting normally.
The vehicle will not move when the
“READY” indicator is off.
The vehicle can move when the
“READY” indicator is on even if the
gasoline engine is stopped. (The
gasoline engine starts or stops
automatically in accordance with
the state of the vehicle.)
■ If the hybrid system does not
start
The immobilizer system may not
have been deactivated. (P.8 2)
Contact your Toyota dealer.
■ When the steering lock cannot
be released
When starting the hybrid system,
the power switch may seem stuck in
OFF. To free it, turn the key while
turning the steering wheel slightly
left and right.
■ When the ambient temperature
is low, such as during winter
driving conditions
When starting the hybrid system,
the flashing time of the “READY”
indicator may be long. Leave the
vehicle as it is until the “READY”
indicator is steady on, as steady
means the vehicle is able to move.

to a hybrid vehicle

■ If the “READY” indicator does
not come on
In the event that the “READY” indi-
cator does not come on even after
