Eco-friendly driving

Eco-friendly driving can be achieved by driving with Hybrid System Indicator.
(P. 195)
 Brake actuator
The brake actuator uses brake fluid pressurized by the pump to power-assist
the brakes. If the brake actuator fails during driving, the brake system warn-
ing light comes on and the buzzer sounds intermittently. In this case, the
brakes may not work properly. If they do not work well, depress the brake
pedal firmly. If the brake system warning light comes on, immediately stop
your vehicle and contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
In the following conditions, you may hear a sound in the engine compart-
ment. This is not a malfunction.
 The driver's door is opened with the hybrid system turned off.
 The brake pedal is depressed with the hybrid system turned off.
 After the hybrid system is turned on.
 The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly with the hybrid system turned
on.
 After the hybrid system is turned off.
The brake pedal may be hard to depress or the brake pedal stroke may be
short before turning the hybrid system on. This is not a malfunction.
 When braking the vehicle
When applying brakes, you may hear a sound coming from the motor gener-
ator.
However, this does not indicate any trouble.
