UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)
CAUTION
The display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the display. At
extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may respond slowly, and
display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and its components
Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
The engine may be overheating in the following situations. Immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled
down completely. (P. 700, 703)
Drive monitor display: When the high engine coolant temperature warning
light comes on.
Multi-information display: When the indicator needle of the engine coolant
temperature gauge enters the red zone (except hybrid model), or the
engine coolant temperature warning message is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display (hybrid model).

2304-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)For efficient use (hybrid model)
Select the D position when driving.
In the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gen-
erated.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) will be discharged requiring unneces-
sary engine power to recharge.
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and decel-
eration will make more effective use of the traction motor without having to
use gasoline engine power.
Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid battery (traction battery) power,
resulting in poor acceleration. Battery power can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly released.
Push the P position switch when parking.
In the N position, the hybrid battery (traction battery) does not recharge.
Leaving the N position selected for an extended period of the time may dis-
charge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid battery is dis-
charged.
Brake actuator (hybrid model)
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 compartment.
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.

2384-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When braking
Except hybrid model: The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic
systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case,
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase.
If this happens, do not continue to drive the vehicle. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
Hybrid model: The brake system consists of 3 individual hydraulic sys-
tems; if one of the systems fails, the others will still operate. In this case,
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase. If this happens, do not continue to drive the
vehicle. If the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on
together with the buzzer sound while driving, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place and contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
NOTICE
When driving the vehicle (vehicles without a manual transmission)
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
Vehicles without a multi-mode manual transmission: Do not use the accel-
erator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time
to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission: Do not use the acceler-
ator pedal or starting assist system to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Doing so may damage the clutch.

Driving
Using engine braking
To use engine braking, select the B position.
During high speed driving, you may feel that deceleration by engine braking
is less than that of a conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the transmission in B for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent this, use D for normal
driving.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
position is in R.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed while the shift position is in N
A buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift position is in N.
Eco drive mode
When the accelerator pedal is depressed in Eco drive mode, it may take more
time to accelerate than usual. This is normal operation.
For the shift positions
When the power switch is off, the shift position cannot be changed.
When the power switch is in ON mode (the hybrid system is not operating),
the shift position can only be changed to N. The shift position will be
changed to N even if the shift position is shifted to D or R and held in that
position.
When the “READY” indicator is on, the shift position can be changed from P
to D, N or R.
When the “READY” indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be
changed from P to another position even if the shift lever is operated.
Wait until the “READY” indicator changes from a flashing to a solid light, and
then operate the shift lever again.
The shift position can only be changed to B directly from D.
