WARNING
■People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way. (P. 36)
■ When children are in the vehicle
 P. 9 1
■ Seat belt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS warning light will c ome on. In that
case, the seat belt cannot be used again and must be replaced a t any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable
repairer.
■ Adjustable shoulder anchor (front seats)
Always make sure the shoulder belt is positioned across the cen ter of your
shoulder. The belt should be kept away from your neck, but not falling off
your shoulder. Failure to do so could reduce the amount of prot ection in an
accident and cause death or serious injuries in the event of a sudden stop,
sudden swerve or accident. ( P. 37)
■ Seat belt damage and wear
● Do not damage the seat belts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
● Inspect the seat belt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Do not use a damaged seat belt until it is replaced. Dam aged seat
belts cannot protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt does not function correctly, immediately conta ct any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any rel iable repairer.
● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there’s no obvious dama ge.
● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seat belts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any autho rized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Inap-
propriate handling may lead to incorrect operation.

The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The
SRS airbag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. As
the airbags deploy, a chemical reaction in the inflators quickl y fills the
airbags with non-toxic gas to help restrain the motion of the o ccu-
pants.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
Observe the following precautions regarding the SRS airbags.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
● The driver and all passengers in the vehicle must wear their seat belts
properly.
The SRS airbags are supplemental devices to be used with the se at belts.
● The SRS driver airbag deploys with considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if the driver is very close to the airbag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s airbag is the first 50 - 7 5 mm (2 - 3 in.)
of inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10 in.) from your driver airbag pro-
vides you with a clear margin of safety. This distance is measu red from
the center of the steering wheel to your breastbone. If you sit less than
250 mm (10 in.) away now, you can change your driving position in sev-
eral ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as you can while still reach ing the ped-
als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat. Although vehicle design s vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250 mm (10 in.) distance, even wit h the
driver seat all the way forward, simply by reclining the back o f the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of your seat makes it hard to s ee the
road, raise yourself by using a firm, non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable, tilt it downward. This p oints the
airbag toward your chest instead of your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as recommended above, while still m aintain-
ing control of the foot pedals, steering wheel, and your view o f the instru-
ment panel controls.

Exhaust gas precautions
Harmful substance to the human body is included in exhaust
gases if inhaled.
WARNING
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon monoxide (CO), which is co lorless and
odorless. Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases to enter the vehicle a nd may lead
to an accident caused by light-headedness, or may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
■ Important points while driving
● Keep the back door closed.
● If you smell exhaust gases in the vehicle even when the back door is
closed, open the side windows and have the vehicle inspected at any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable
repairer as soon as possible.
■ When parking
● If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the hybrid system.
● Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time.
If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an o pen space
and ensure that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior .
● Do not leave the hybrid system operating in an area with snow build-up, or
where it is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle w hile the
hybrid system is operating, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.
■ Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be checked periodically. If there i s a hole or
crack caused by corrosion, damage to a joint or abnormal exhaus t noise, be
sure to have the vehicle inspected and repaired by any authoriz ed Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.

WARNING
■When the Emergency Call may not be made
● It may not be possible to make Emergency Calls in any of the following sit-
uations. In such cases, report to emergency services provider ( 112 sys-
tem, etc.) by other means such as nearby public phones.
• Even when the vehicle is in the cellular phone service area, i t may be
difficult to connect to the eCall control center if the recepti on is poor or
the line is busy. In such cases, even though the system attempt s to con-
nect to the eCall control center, you may not be able to connec t to the
eCall control center to make Emergency Calls and contact emerge ncy
services.
• When the vehicle is out of the cellular phone service area, th e Emer-
gency Calls cannot be made.
• When any related equipment (such as the “SOS” button panel, in dicator
lights, microphone, speaker, DCM, antenna, or any wires connect ing
the equipment) is malfunctioning, damaged or broken, the Emerge ncy
Call cannot be made.
• During an Emergency Call, the system makes repeated attempts t o
connect to the eCall control center. However, if it cannot conn ect to the
eCall control center due to poor radio wave reception, the syst em may
not be able to connect to the cellular network and the call may finish
without connecting. The red indicator light will blink for appr oximately 30
seconds to indicate this disconnection.
● If the 12-volt battery’s voltage decreases or there is a disconnection, the
system may not be able to connect to the eCall control center.
● The Emergency Call system might not work outside of EU area, depend-
ing on the available infrastructure in the country.
■ When the Emergency Call system is replaced with a new one
The Emergency Call system should be registered. Contact any aut horized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

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).
