Hybrid system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the
actual item.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high volt -
age system (about 600 V*1 or 650 V*2 at maximum) as well as
contains parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid sys-
tem is operating. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehi-
cle.

■Important points regarding stability
Vehicle movement resulting from uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Frequently check behind when mov -
ing alongside such vehicles. As soon as such vehicle movement
occurs, immediately start to decelerate smoothly by slowly appl ying
the brakes. Always steer the vehicle straight ahead while braki ng.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle distance is sufficient befor e exe-
cuting lane changes.
■Transmission information
To maintain engine braking efficiency and charging system perfo r-
mance when using engine braking, do not use the transmission in
D. Shift the shift lever to B.
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long, steep incline in temperature s
exceeding 30 C (85F) may result in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates that the engine is o ver-
heating, turn the air conditioning off immediately, leave the r oad and
stop the vehicle in a safe place. ( P. 755)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under the wheels of both the vehicle
and trailer. Firmly set the parking brake and shift the shift l ever to P.

■ If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information display
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfu nction in
the system.
● In the following situations, perform the actions specified in the table. When
the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear
and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact any authorized Toyot a retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
SituationActions
When the area around a camera is
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged
up, covered with condensation, ice,
etc.), or other foreign matter
Using the wiper and A/C function,
remove the dirt and other attached
matter. (P. 549)
When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on its
type, the sunlight reflected from the
surface of the sunshade may cause
the temperature of the front camera to
become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the hood
is open or a sticker is attached to the
part of the windshield in front of the
front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.
When “Pre-Collision System Radar in
self calibration Unavailable See
owner’s manual.” is displayed.
Check whether there is attached
materials on the radar and radar
cover, and if there is, remove it.

●“ECO” mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and
improve fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics
and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning system
(heating/cooling).
When Eco mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will illumi -
nate on the multi-information display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatica lly
switches to air conditioning eco mode ( P. 552), allowing for driving
that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ When canceling “ECO” mode/ “SPORT” mode
● Select the drive mode again. Also, “SPORT” mode will be canceled auto-
matically when the power switch is turned off.
● However, “NORMAL” mode and “ECO” mode will not be canceled automati-
cally until another drive mode is selected, even if the power s witch is turned
off.
■ Switching the drive mode when in EV drive mode
 P. 312

4604-5. Using the driving support systems
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
■The system can be operated when
● The power switch is in ON mode.
● Toyota parking assist-sensor function is on.
● The vehicle speed is less than about 10 km/h (6 mph).
● A shift lever other than P is selected.
● Vehicles with side sensors: Steering wheel is turned approximately 90° or
more
■ If “Parking assist unavailable. Clean parking assist sensor” is displayed
on the multi-information display
A sensor may be covered with ice, snow, dirt, etc. Remove the i ce, snow, dirt,
etc., from the sensor to return the system to normal.
Also, due to ice forming on a sensor at low temperatures, a war ning message
may be displayed or the sensor may not be able to detect an obj ect. Once the
ice melts, the system will return to normal.
■ If “Parking assist Malfunction Visit your dealer” is displayed on the
multi-information display
The system may not operate due to the malfunction of a sensor.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Sensor detection information
The following situations may occur during use.
● The sensors may be able to only detect objects near the front and rear bum-
pers.
● Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
● If an object is extremely close to a sensor, it may not be detected.
● There will be a short delay between object detection and display. Even at
low speeds, there is a possibility that the object will come wi thin the sensor’s
detection areas before the display is shown and the warning bee p sounds.
● It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the audio system
or air flow noise of the air conditioning system.
● It may be difficult to hear the buzzer if buzzers for other systems are sound-
ing.

4744-5. Using the driving support systems
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
● When there are spinning objects near your vehicle such as the fan of an air
conditioning unit
● When water is splashed or sprayed toward the rear bumper, such as from a
sprinkler
● Moving objects (flags, exhaust fumes, large rain droplets or snowflakes, rain
water on the road surface, etc.)
● When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that
enters the detection area is short
● Gratings and gutters
● When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or cold
● If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other than specified
are installed
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load
● When a vehicle passes by the side of
your vehicle
● When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle

5384-6. Driving tips
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
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 0 )
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid Syst em
Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 166)
◆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:
