In the following case, drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer.
! The yellow warning light comes on
while driving.
Any of the following conditions may oc-
cur, but do not indicate the malfunc-
tion:
! The red and yellow warning lights may
stay on for about 60 seconds after the
hybrid system is started. It is normal
if it turns off after a while.
! Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the red warning light. It is
normal if the light turns off after a few
seconds.
! You may hear a small sound in the
engine compartment after the hybrid
system is started or the brake pedal is
depressed repeatedly. This is a pump
pulsating sound of the brake system,
and it is not a malfunction.
! You may hear a motor sound in the
engine compartment when the brake
pedal is depressed with the hybrid sys-
tem turned off.
! The brake pedal stroke may be short
when you turn the key to the “START”
position with the brake pedal de-
pressed.
(b) Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder Light
and Buzzer
The light and buzzer act as a reminder to
buckle up the driver’s seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
the reminder light flashes and buzzer
sounds if the driver’s seat belt is not fas-
tened. Unless the driver fastens the belt,
the light continues flashing and the buzzer
stops after about 4 to 8 seconds.
(c) Front Passenger’s Seat Belt
Reminder Light
The light acts as a reminder to have the
front passenger buckle up the seat belt.
Once the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
the reminder light flashes if a passenger
sits in the front passenger seat and does
not fasten the seat belt.
If luggage or other load is placed on the
front passenger seat, depending on its
weight, the reminder light may flash.
(d) Discharge Warning Light
This light warns that the auxiliary battery
is being discharged.
If it comes on while you are driving, there
is a problem somewhere in the charging
system.
The hybrid system will continue to oper-
ate, however, until the auxiliary battery is
discharged. Turn off the air conditioning,
blower, radio, etc., and drive directly to
the nearest Toyota dealer or repair shop.
(e) Traction Battery Warning Light
This light comes on in the following
cases:
a. The traction battery voltage drops be-
cause the transmission is left in the
“N” position.
If you put the transmission in the “P”
position and the light goes off, the system
is working properly.
b. The traction battery is discharged.
If the traction battery is discharged and
the warning light comes on along with the
“READY” light, stop your vehicle in a safe
place and contact your Toyota dealer.
