If a warning message is displayed The multi-information display shows warnings for system malfunctions and incorrectly performed operations, and messages that indicate a need for maintenance. When a message is displayed, perform the appropriate corrective action for the message. Additionally, if a warning light comes on or flashes at the same time that a warning message is displayed, take the appropriate corrective action for the warning light. (If a warning light turns on or a warning buzzer sounds) If a warning message is displayed again after the appropriate actions have been performed, contact your Toyota dealer. Messages and warnings The warning lights and warning buzzers operate as follows depending on the content of the message. If a message indicates the need for inspection by a dealer, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
Warning light Warning buzzer* Warning
- Sounds Indicates an important situation, such as when a system related to driving is malfunctioning or that danger may result if the correction procedure is not performed Indicates a situation, such as when damage to the vehicle or danger may result
Comes on or flashes Sounds Indicates an important situation, such as when the systems shown on the multi-information display may be malfunctioning
- Does not sound Indicates a condition, such as malfunction of electrical components, their condition, or indicates the need for maintenance Indicates a situation, such as when an operation has been performed incorrectly, or indicates how to perform an operation correctly
*A buzzer sounds the first time a message is shown on the multi-information display. Note: Warning messages The warning messages explained below may differ from the actual messages according to operation conditions and vehicle specifications. Warning buzzer In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location or audio sound. If “Engine Oil Level Low Add or Replace” is displayed The engine oil level is low. Check the level of the engine oil, and add if necessary. (Adding engine oil) This message may appear if the vehicle is stopped on a slope. Move the vehicle to a level surface and check to see if the message disappears. If “Hybrid System Stopped Steering Power Low” is displayed This message is displayed if the hybrid system is stopped while driving. When steering wheel operations are heavier than usual, grip the steering wheel firmly and operate it using more force than usual. If “Power Reduced to Lower Engine Temp” is displayed This message may be displayed when the engine coolant temperature is high. At that time, the engine power output is reduced until the temperature decreases to the specified level. It is still possible to continue driving normally, meanwhile the acceleration performance or vehicle speed may be lowered. After driving for a while and the engine coolant temperature is dropped, this message will disappear and engine power output will resume once the engine coolant temperature has decreased to normal. If after driving for a while the message does not disappear or it comes on and off frequently, contact your Toyota dealer. If “Hybrid System Overheated Output Power Reduced” is displayed This message may be displayed when driving under severe operating conditions. (For example, when driving up a long steep hill.) Handling method: If your vehicle overheats If “Traction battery needs to be protected. Refrain from the use of N position.” is displayed (2.5L 4-cylinder [A25A-FXS] engine) This message may be displayed when the shift position is in N. As the hybrid battery (traction battery) cannot be charged when the shift position is in N, change the shift position to P when the vehicle is stopped. If “Traction battery needs to be protected. Shift into P to restart.” is displayed (2.5L 4-cylinder [A25A-FXS] engine) This message is displayed when the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge has become extremely low because the shift lever has been left in N for a certain amount of time. When operating the vehicle, shift to P and restart the hybrid system. If “Shift to P Before Exiting Vehicle” is displayed This message is displayed when the driver’s door is opened without turning the power switch off with the shift lever in any position other than P. Change the shift lever to P. If “Shift is in N Release Accelerator Before Shifting” is displayed The accelerator pedal has been depressed when the shift position is in N. Release the accelerator pedal and change the shift position to D, S*1, M*2 or R. *1Vehicles with 2.5L 4-cylinder (A25A-FXS) engine *2Vehicles with 2.4L 4-cylinder (T24A-FTS) engine If “Press brake when vehicle is stopped Hybrid system may overheat” is displayed The message may be displayed when the accelerator pedal is depressed to hold the vehicle while the vehicle is stopped on an incline, etc. The hybrid system may overheat.
