1241-4. Hybrid system
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
■If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the
12-volt battery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact any authorized To y o t a
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.
■ Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cann ot be started,
refuel the vehicle with at leas t enough gasoline to make the low fuel level
warning light ( P. 683) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about
7.5 L [2.0 gal., 1.7 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when th e vehicle is
inclined.)
■ Electromagnetic waves
● High voltage parts and cables on Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorporate elec-
tromagnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the sam e amount
of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehic les or
home electronic appliances.
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service lif e. The lifespan of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving
style and driving conditions.
■ Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulati on ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).

1501-5. Theft deterrent system
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
The intrusion sensor detects intruders or movement in the vehicle.
This system is designed to deter and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security against all intrusions.
■Setting the intrusion sensor
The intrusion sensor will be set automatically when the alarm i s set.
( P. 146)
■Canceling the intrusion sensor
If you are leaving pets or other moving things inside the vehic le,
make sure to disable the intrusion sensor before setting the al arm,
as it will respond to movement inside the vehicle.
Turn the power switch off.
Press the theft sensor off
switch.
A message will be shown on
the multi-information display.
The intrusion sensor will revert
to on each time the power
switch is turned to ON mode.

3
Operation of each component
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ Closing the windows
● The driver is responsible for all the power window operations, including the
operation for the passengers. In order to prevent accidental op eration,
especially by a child, do not let a child operate the power win dows. It is
possible for children and other passengers to have body parts c aught in
the power window. Also, when riding with a child, it is recomme nded to use
the window lock switch. ( P. 275)
● When using the wireless remote control or mechanical key (P. 186) and
operating the power windows, operate the power window after che cking to
make sure that there is no possibility of any passenger having any of their
body parts caught in the side window. Also do not let a child o perate side
window by the wireless remote control or mechanical key. It is possible for
children and other passengers to get caught in the power window .
● When exiting the vehicle, turn the power switch off, carry the key and exit
the vehicle along with the child. There may be accidental opera tion, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to an accident.
● Check to make sure that all passengers
do not have any part of their body in a
position where it could be caught when
a side window is being operated.

2844-1. Before driving
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
■When starting off on a uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 531)
■ For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that Hybrid Electric Vehicles are similar to conve ntional vehi-
cles, and it is necessary to refrain from activities such as su dden accelera-
tion. ( P. 538)
■ Driving in the rain
● Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properl y.
■ Restraining hybrid system output (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
hybrid system output may be restrained.
● A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)
● When the following unusual operation is performed, the hybrid system out-
put may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D/B, D/B to R, N to R, P to D/B,
or P to R with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning messa ge
appears on the multi-information display. If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display, read the message and follow t he instruc-
tion.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the veh icle is in
reverse.
●While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trouble
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, deactivate T RC (P. 532)
to cancel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may become ab le to escape
from the mud or fresh snow.

2864-1. Before driving
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■ 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 b rake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an ac cident.
• 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 t he
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.
● The driver should pay extra attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is
powered only by the electric motor (traction motor). As there i s no engine
noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.
Even though the vehicle is equipped with the acoustic vehicle a lerting sys-
tem, drive with care as pedestrians in the vicinity may still n ot notice the
vehicle if the surrounding area is noisy.
● Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot. Thes e hot
parts may cause a fire if there is any flammable material nearb y.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the hybrid system. Turning the hybrid
system off while driving will not cause loss of steering or bra king control,
however, power assist to the steering will be lost. This will m ake it more
difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over and stop t he vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
In the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the
vehicle in the normal way: P. 669
● Use engine braking (shift lever to B) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 314, 318)
● Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
● Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.
