2324-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12E33E)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.

Driving
When braking the vehicle (hybrid model)
When applying brakes, you may hear a sound coming from the motor gener-
ator.
However, this does not indicate any trouble.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When starting the vehicle (vehicles without a manual transmission)
Vehicles with a Multidrive: Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while
stopped with the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
Vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission: Always keep your foot on
the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This prevents the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
Vehicles with a hybrid transmission: Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the hybrid system operating. This prevents the
vehicle from creeping.
When driving the vehicle
Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
Hybrid model: The driver should pay attention to pedestrians when the
vehicle is powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). Because
there is no hybrid system sounds, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehi-
cle’s movement.
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. These hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
