■ Switching to EV drive mode when the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is started while the gasoline engine is co ld, the gasoline
engine will start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm up.
In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV drive mode .
After the hybrid system has started and the “READY” indicator h as illumi-
nated, press the EV drive mode switch before the gasoline engin e starts to
switch to EV drive mode.
■ Automatic cancelation of EV drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the gasoline engine may automati cally restart
in the following situations. When EV drive mode is canceled, a buzzer will
sound and the EV drive mode indicator will flash and go off.
● The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the energy monitor dis play is low.
( P. 179)
● Vehicle speed is high.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill, etc.
When it is possible to inform the driver of automatic cancelati on in advance, a
prior notice screen will appear on the multi-information displa y.
■ Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
EV drive mode’s possible drivi ng distance ranges from a few hundred meters
to approximately 1 km (0.6 mile). However, depending on vehicle conditions,
there are situations when EV drive mode cannot be used. (The di stance that
is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] le vel and driving
conditions.)

5404-6. Driving tips
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
Hybrid Electric Vehicle driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the acce l-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improv ing
the fuel economy. ( P. 4 3 2 )
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid Syst em
Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 168)
◆Shift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic, etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. Wh en
using the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. I n the
N, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gener -
ated. Also, when using the air conditioning system, etc., the h ybrid
battery (traction battery) power is consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
● Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) witho ut
having to use gasoline engine power.
● Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol -
lowing points:

5565-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
● Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and t hat of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■ To prevent burns
● Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.
● Vehicles with windshield wiper de-icer: Do not touch the glass at the lower
part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars when the windshield
wiper de-icer is on.
■ nanoe™ generator (if equipped)
Do not disassemble or repair the generator because it contains high voltage
parts.
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized rep airer, or any
reliable repairer if the generator needs repair.
NOTICE
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessa ry when the
hybrid system is off.
■ To prevent damage to the nanoe™ (if equipped)
Do not insert anything into the passenger’s side vent, attach a nything to it,
or use sprays around the passenger’s side vent. These things ma y cause
the generator not to work properly.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
