164 2-1. Driving procedures
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (P. 492)
For efficient use
Select the D position when driving.
In the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be
generated.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) will be discharged requiring unnec-
essary engine power to recharge.
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and
deceleration 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
discharge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid battery
is discharged.

NOTICE
When driving the vehicle
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. If the brake pedal is depressed while driving with the accelerator
pedal depressed, driving torque may be restrained.
Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for a
long time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional, as soon as
possible.
The rotor damage can result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.
If the vehicle will not shift out of the P position
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt
battery in this situation.

If the hybrid system does not start
The immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 106)
If the “READY” indicator does not come on
If the “READY” indicator does not come on when you press the “POWER”
switch with the shift position in P and the brake pedal pressed, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional immediately.
When the “POWER” switch indicator flashes in amber
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, immediately.
Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or ON mode (hybrid system is not oper-
ating) for more than an hour with the shift position in P, the “POWER” switch
will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-
volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the “POWER” switch in
ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods of time when the hybrid system
is not operating.
Operation of the “POWER” switch
When operating the “POWER” switch, one short, firm press is enough. If
the switch is pressed improperly, the hybrid system may not start or the
“POWER” switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and
hold the switch.
If an attempt is made to restart the hybrid system immediately after turn-
ing the “POWER” switch off, the hybrid system may not start in some
cases. After turning the “POWER” switch off, wait a few seconds before
restarting the hybrid system.
When leaving the vehicle
If the indicator on the “POWER” switch stays on, the “POWER” switch is not
yet off.
Turn the “POWER” switch off before you leave the vehicle.

Automatic P position selection function
When the shift position is other than P, pressing the “POWER” switch
with the vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to
change to P automatically, and then the “POWER” switch will turn off.
When turning the “POWER” switch off from a position other than P, firmly
depress the brake pedal and confirm that the shift position* has changed
to P before slowly releasing the brake pedal.
*: Even after the instrument panel display has been turned off, the shift
position indicator will continue to be displayed for several seconds.
If the P position control system malfunctions, the “POWER” switch will
not be able to be turned off. In such a case, the switch can be turned off
by applying the parking brake.
When the system malfunctions, immediately have your vehicle serviced
by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.

CAUTION
When starting the hybrid system
Always start the hybrid system while sitting in the driver's seat. Do not
depress the accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any cir-
cumstances. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
Stopping the hybrid system in an emergency
If you want to stop the hybrid system in an emergency while driving the vehi-
cle, press and hold the “POWER” switch for more than 3 seconds.
However, do not touch the “POWER” switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost.
This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the “POWER” switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long
periods if the hybrid system is not operating.
If the hybrid system is off, but the indicator on the “POWER” switch is illu-
minated, this indicates that the “POWER” switch is still turned on. When
exiting the vehicle, always check that the “POWER” switch is off.
When starting the hybrid system
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have the hybrid system
checked immediately.
