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.

■

ECO Accelerator Guidance

(



P.105)

Eco-friendly driving may be

achieved more easily by staying

within the zone of Eco acceleration.

Also, by staying within the zone of

Eco acceleration, it will be easier to

obtain a good Eco score.

●

When starting off:

Gradually depress the accelerator

pedal to stay within the zone of Eco

acceleration and accelerate to the

desired speed. By refraining from

excessive acceleration, a good eco

start score will be obtained.

●

When driving:

After accelerating to the desired

speed, release the accelerator

pedal and drive at a stable speed

while staying within the zone of Eco

acceleration. By staying within the

zone of Eco acceleration, a good

eco cruise score will be obtained.

●

When stopping:

By starting to release the accelera-

tor pedal early before decelerating,

a good eco stop score will be

obtained.

■

Restraining sudden start

(Drive-Start Control)

●

When the following unusual oper-

ation is performed, the hybrid sys-

tem output may be restrained.

• When the shift lever is shifted from

R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D

*

, or

P to R

*

(D includes B) with the

accelerator pedal depressed, a

warning message appears on the

multi-information display. If a

warning message is shown on the

multi-information display, read the

message and follow the instruc-

tion.

• When the accelerator pedal is

depressed too much while the

vehicle is in reverse.

*

: Depending on the situation, the

shift position may not be changed.

●

While Drive-Start Control is being

activated, your vehicle may have

trouble escaping from the mud or

fresh snow. In such case, deacti-

vate TRAC (

4-1. Before driving

COROLLA HV_U

WARNING

■

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the

brake pedal while stopped with

the “READY” indicator is illumi-

nated. This prevents the vehicle

from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you are unfamil-

iar with the location of the brake

and accelerator 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

difficulty in operating the pedals.

Make sure to operate the pedals

properly.

• Make sure to keep a correct

driving posture even when mov-

ing the vehicle only slightly. This

allows you to depress the brake

and accelerator pedals properly.

• Depress the brake pedal using

your right foot. Depressing the

brake pedal using your left foot

may delay response in an emer-

gency, resulting 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 is no engine

noise, the pedestrians may mis-

judge the vehicle’s movement.

Even with the vehicle proximity

notification system activate,

drive with care as pedestrians in

the vicinity may still not 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. These hot parts

may cause a fire if there is any

flammable material nearby.

●

During normal driving, do not

turn off the hybrid system. Turn-

ing the hybrid system off while

driving will not cause loss of

steering or braking control, how-

ever, power assist to the steer-

ing will be lost. This will make it

more difficult to steer smoothly,

so you should pull over and stop

the 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.471

●

Use engine braking (shift posi-

tion B) to maintain a safe speed

when driving down a steep hill.

Using the brakes continuously

may cause the brakes to over-

heat and lose effectiveness.

(



P.164)

●

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 passen-

gers’ arms, heads or other parts

of their body are not outside the

vehicle.

WARNING

●

Do not drive in excess of the

speed limit. Even if the legal

speed limit permits it, do not

drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)

unless your vehicle has

high-speed capability tires. Driv-

ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)

may result in tire failure, loss of

control and possible injury. Be

sure to consult a tire dealer to

determine whether the tires on

your vehicle are high-speed

capability tires or not before

driving at such speeds.

■

When driving on slippery

road surfaces

●

Sudden braking, acceleration

and steering may cause tire

slippage and reduce your ability

to control the vehicle.

●

Sudden acceleration, engine

braking due to shifting, or

changes in engine speed could

cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After driving through a puddle,

lightly depress the brake pedal

to make sure that the brakes

are functioning properly. Wet

brake pads may prevent the

brakes from functioning prop-

erly. If the brakes on only one

side are wet and not functioning

properly, steering control may

be affected.

■

When shifting the shift lever

●

Do not let the vehicle roll back-

ward while a forward driving

position is selected, or roll for-

ward while the shift lever is in R.

Doing so may result in an acci-

dent or damage to the vehicle.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to P

while the vehicle is moving.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to R

while the vehicle is moving for-

ward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift lever to a

driving position while the vehicle

is moving backward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Moving the shift lever to N while

the vehicle is moving will disen-

gage the hybrid system. Engine

braking is not available with the

hybrid system disengaged.

●

Be careful not to shift the shift

lever with the accelerator pedal

depressed. Shifting the shift

lever to any positions other than

P or N may lead to unexpected

rapid acceleration of the vehicle

that may cause an accident and

result in death or serious injury.

■

If you hear a squealing or

scraping noise (brake pad

wear indicators)

Have the brake pads checked and

replaced by your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.

Rotor damage may result if the

pads are not replaced when

needed.

It is dangerous to drive the vehicle

when the wear limits of the brake

pads and/or those of the brake

discs are exceeded.

■

When the vehicle is stopped

●

Do not depress the accelerator

pedal unnecessarily.

If the shift lever is any position

other than P or N, the vehicle

may accelerate suddenly and

unexpectedly, causing an acci-

dent.

COROLLA HV_U

WARNING

●

In order to prevent accidents

due to the vehicle rolling away,

always keep depressing the

brake pedal while stopped with

the “READY” indicator is illumi-

nated, and apply the parking

brake as necessary.

●

If the vehicle is stopped on an

incline, in order to prevent acci-

dents caused by the vehicle roll-

ing forward or backward, always

depress the brake pedal and

securely apply the parking

brake as needed.

●

Avoid revving or racing the

engine.

Running the engine at high

speed while the vehicle is

stopped may cause the exhaust

system to overheat, which could

result in a fire if combustible

material is nearby.

■

When the vehicle is parked

●

Do not leave glasses, cigarette

lighters, spray cans, or soft

drink cans in the vehicle when it

is in the sun.

Doing so may result in the fol-

lowing:

• Gas may leak from a cigarette

lighter or spray can, and may

lead to a fire.

• The temperature inside the

vehicle may cause the plastic

lenses and plastic material of

glasses to deform or crack.

• Soft drink cans may fracture,

causing the contents to spray

over the interior of the vehicle,

and may also cause a short cir-

cuit in the vehicle’s electrical

components.

●

Do not leave cigarette lighters in

the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter

is in a place such as the glove

box or on the floor, it may be lit

accidentally when luggage is

loaded or the seat is adjusted,

causing a fire.

●

Do not attach adhesive discs to

the windshield or windows. Do

not place containers such as air

fresheners on the instrument

panel or dashboard. Adhesive

discs or containers may act as

lenses, causing a fire in the

vehicle.

●

Do not leave a door or window

open if the curved glass is

coated with a metallized film

such as a silver-colored one.

Reflected sunlight may cause

the glass to act as a lens, caus-

ing a fire.

●

Always apply the parking brake,

shift the shift lever to P, stop the

hybrid system and lock the vehi-

cle.

Do not leave the vehicle unat-

tended while the “READY” indi-

cator is illuminated.

If the vehicle is parked with the

shift lever in P but the parking

brake is not set, the vehicle may

start to move, possibly leading

to an accident.

●

Do not touch the exhaust pipes

while the “READY” indicator is

illuminated or immediately after

turning the hybrid system off.

Doing so may cause burns.

WARNING

■

When taking a nap in the vehi-

cle

Always turn the hybrid system off.

Otherwise, if you accidentally

move the shift lever or depress

the accelerator pedal, this could

cause an accident or fire due to

hybrid system overheating. Addi-

tionally, if the vehicle is parked in

a poorly ventilated area, exhaust

gases may collect and enter the

vehicle, leading to death or a seri-

ous health hazard.

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive

more cautiously.

Braking distance increases

when the brakes are wet, and

this may cause one side of the

vehicle to brake differently than

the other side. Also, the parking

brake may not securely hold the

vehicle.

●

If the electronically controlled

brake system does not operate,

do not follow other vehicles

closely and avoid hills or sharp

turns that require braking.

In this case, braking is still pos-

sible, but the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual. Also, the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have

your brakes fixed immediately.

●

The brake system consists of 2

or more individual hydraulic sys-

tems; if one of the systems fails,

the other(s) will still operate. In

this case, the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual and the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have

your brakes fixed immediately.

■

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Do not spin the wheels exces-

sively when a driven wheel is up

in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in

sand, mud, etc. This may damage

the driveline components or pro-

pel the vehicle forward or back-

ward, causing an accident.

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator

and brake pedals at the same

time during driving, as this may

restrain the hybrid system out-

put.

●

Do not use the accelerator

pedal or depress the accelera-

tor and brake pedals at the

same time to hold the vehicle on

a hill.

■

When parking the vehicle

Always set the parking brake and

shift the shift lever to P. Failure to

do so may cause the vehicle to

move or the vehicle may acceler-

ate suddenly if the accelerator

pedal is accidentally depressed.

■

Avoiding damage to vehicle

parts

●

Do not turn the steering wheel

fully in either direction and hold

it there for an extended period

of time.

Doing so may damage the

power steering motor.

●

When driving over bumps in the

road, drive as slowly as possible

to avoid damaging the wheels,

underside of the vehicle, etc.

Cargo capacity depends on the
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load
capacity) — (Total weight of
occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit —
(1) Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 −

■

Things that must not be car-

ried in the trunk

The following things may cause a

fire if loaded in the trunk:

●

Receptacles containing gaso-

line

●

Aerosol cans

■

Storage precautions

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may prevent the

pedals from being depressed

properly, may block the driver’s

vision, or may result in items hit-

ting the driver or passengers, pos-

sibly causing an accident.

●

Stow cargo and luggage in the

trunk whenever possible.

●

To prevent cargo and luggage

from sliding forward during

braking, do not stack anything in

the enlarged trunk. Keep cargo

and luggage low, as close to the

floor as possible.

●

When you fold down the rear

seats, long items should not be

placed directly behind the front

seats.

●

Do not place cargo or luggage

in or on the following locations.

• At the feet of the driver

• On the front passenger or rear

seats (when stacking items)

• On the package tray

• On the instrument panel

• On the dashboard

●

Secure all items in the occupant

compartment.

●

Never allow anyone to ride in

the enlarged trunk. It is not

designed for passengers. They

should ride in their seats with

their seat belts properly fas-

tened.

■

Capacity and distribution

●

Do not exceed the maximum

axle weight rating or the total

vehicle weight rating.

●

Even if the total load of occu-

pant’s weight and the cargo

load is less than the total load

capacity, do not apply the load

unevenly. Improper loading may

cause deterioration of steering

or braking control which may

cause death or serious injury.

Conditions to turn the high

beams on/off automatically

●

When all of the following condi-

tions are met, the high beams will

be turned on automatically (after

approximately 1 second):

• The vehicle speed is approxi-

mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.

• The area ahead of the vehicle is

dark.

• There are no vehicles ahead with

headlights or tail lights turned on.

• There are few streetlights on the

road ahead.

●

If any of the following conditions

are met, the high beams will turn

off automatically:

• The vehicle speed is below

approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).

• The area ahead of the vehicle is

not dark.

• Vehicles ahead have their head-

lights or tail lights turned on.

• There are many streetlights on the

road ahead.

■

Camera sensor detection infor-

mation

●

The high beams may not be auto-

matically turned off in the following

situations:

• When a vehicle suddenly appears

from around a curve

• When the vehicle is cut in front of

by another vehicle

• When vehicles ahead cannot be

detected due to repeated curves,

road dividers or roadside trees

• When vehicles ahead appear in a

faraway lane on a wide road

• When the lights of vehicles ahead

are not on

●

The high beams may be turned off

if a vehicle ahead that is using fog

lights without its headlights turned

on is detected.

●

House lights, streetlights, traffic

signals, and illuminated billboards

or signs and other reflective

objects may cause the high

beams to change to the low

beams, or the low beams to

remain on.

●

The following factors may affect

the amount of time taken for the

high beams to turn on or off:

• The brightness of the headlights,

fog lights, and tail lights of vehi-

cles ahead

• The movement and direction of

vehicles ahead

• When a vehicle ahead only has

operational lights on one side

• When a vehicle ahead is a

two-wheeled vehicle

• The condition of the road (gradi-

ent, curve, condition of the road

surface, etc.)

• The number of passengers and

amount of luggage in the vehicle

●

The high beams may turn on or off

unexpectedly.

●

Bicycles or similar vehicles may

not be detected.

●

In the following situations the sys-

tem may not be able to correctly

detect the surrounding brightness

level. This may cause the low

beams to remain on or the high

beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-

ans or vehicles ahead. In such a

case, it is necessary to manually

switch between the high and low

beams.

WARNING

■

When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions

while refueling the vehicle. Failure

to do so may result in death or

serious injury.

●

After exiting the vehicle and

before opening the fuel door,

touch an unpainted metal sur-

face to discharge any static

electricity. It is important to dis-

charge static electricity before

refueling because sparks result-

ing from static electricity can

cause fuel vapors to ignite while

refueling.

●

Always hold the grips on the

fuel tank cap and turn it slowly

to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be

heard when the fuel tank cap is

loosened. Wait until the sound

cannot be heard before fully

removing the cap. In hot

weather, pressurized fuel may

spray out the filler neck and

cause injury.

●

Do not allow anyone that has

not discharged static electricity

from their body to come close to

an open fuel tank.

●

Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that

are harmful if inhaled.

●

Do not smoke while refueling

the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to

ignite and cause a fire.

●

Do not return to the vehicle or

touch any person or object that

is statically charged.

This may cause static electricity

to build up, resulting in a possi-

ble ignition hazard.

■

When refueling

Observe the following precautions

to prevent fuel overflowing from

the fuel tank:

●

Securely insert the fuel nozzle

into the fuel filler neck.

●

Stop filling the tank after the fuel

nozzle automatically clicks off.

been driven for some time) and the normal operating conditions are

detected, the message will disappear and the system will become opera-

tional.

If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.

• When the temperature around the radar sensor is outside of the opera-

tional range, such as when the vehicle is in the sun or in an extremely cold

environment

• When the front camera cannot detect objects in front of the vehicle, such

as when driving in the dark, snow, or fog, or when bright lights are shining

into the front camera

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.

Pre-collision warning

When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the
multi-information display to urge
the driver to take evasive action.

■

Pre-collision brake assist

When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, the system
applies greater braking force in
relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.

■

Pre-collision braking

If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied
to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.

PCS (Pre-Collision Sys-

tem)

The pre-collision system
uses a radar sensor and
front camera to detect
objects (



P.192) in front of

the vehicle. When the sys-
tem determines that the
possibility of a frontal colli-
sion with an object is high, a
warning operates to urge
the driver to take evasive
action and the potential
brake pressure is increased
to help the driver avoid the
collision. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of a frontal collision
with an object is extremely
high, the brakes are auto-
matically applied to help
avoid the collision or help
reduce the impact of the col-
lision.

The pre-collision system
can be disabled/enabled
and the warning timing can
be changed. (

WARNING

■

Limitations of the pre-colli-

sion system

●

The driver is solely responsible

for safe driving. Always drive

safely, taking care to observe

your surroundings.

Do not use the pre-collision sys-

tem instead of normal braking

operations under any circum-

stances. This system will not

prevent collisions or lessen col-

lision damage or injury in every

situation. Do not overly rely on

this system. Failure to do so

may lead to an accident, result-

ing in death or serious injury.

●

Although this system is

designed to help avoid a colli-

sion or help reduce the impact

of the collision, its effectiveness

may change according to vari-

ous conditions, therefore the

system may not always be able

to achieve the same level of

performance.

Read the following conditions

carefully. Do not overly rely on

this system and always drive

carefully.

• Conditions under which the sys-

tem may operate even if there is

no possibility of a collision:



P.193

• Conditions under which the sys-

tem may not operate properly:



P.194

●

Do not attempt to test the oper-

ation of the pre-collision system

yourself.

Depending on the objects used

for testing (dummies, card-

board objects imitating detect-

able objects, etc.), the system

may not operate properly, possi-

bly leading to an accident.

■

Pre-collision braking

●

When the pre-collision braking

function is operating, a large

amount of braking force will be

applied.

●

If the vehicle is stopped by the

operation of the pre-collision

braking function, the pre-colli-

sion braking function operation

will be canceled after approxi-

mately 2 seconds. Depress the

brake pedal as necessary.

●

The pre-collision braking func-

tion may not operate if certain

operations are performed by the

driver. If the accelerator pedal is

being depressed strongly or the

steering wheel is being turned,

the system may determine that

the driver is taking evasive

action and possibly prevent the

pre-collision braking function

from operating.

●

In some situations, while the

pre-collision braking function is

operating, operation of the func-

tion may be canceled if the

accelerator pedal is depressed

strongly or the steering wheel is

turned and the system deter-

mines that the driver is taking

evasive action.

●

If the brake pedal is being

depressed, the system may

determine that the driver is tak-

ing evasive action and possibly

delay the operation timing of the

pre-collision braking function.

■

When to disable the pre-colli-

sion system

In the following situations, disable

the system, as it may not operate

properly, possibly leading to an

accident resulting in death or seri-

ous injury:

●

When the vehicle is being towed

on the multi-information display.

■

Changing the pre-collision
warning timing

The pre-collision warning timing
can be changed on

sion system is disabled and
re-enabled, the operation timing will
return to the default setting (mid-
dle).
