I just came across this in the manual:
Quote:
STARTING THE HYBRID SYSTEM WHEN THE ELECTRONIC KEY BATTERY IS DISCHARGED
If the key indicator does not flash and the hybrid system cannot be started by using the start function, the battery may be discharged. Replace the key battery as soon as possible. (See “—Replacing battery” on page 30 in this Section.) However the hybrid system can be turned on in the following procedures.
1. While the brake pedal is depressed, touch the Toyota logo side of the electronic key to the “POWER” switch.
2. Start the hybrid system within 5 seconds after the green indicator light on the “POWER” switch comes on and a buzzer sounds.

It's nice to know the feature is there although I'll never remember it if I ever need it.
