Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, the followings
are examples of conditions under which the engine may not stop automati-
cally:
The gasoline engine is warming up.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) is being charged.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) temperature is low or high.
The temperature setting of the air conditioning system is high.
Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine or regenerative brake charges the hybrid battery
(traction battery), the battery does not need to be charged from an out-
side source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a long time the
hybrid battery will slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the
vehicle at least once every several months for at least 30 minutes or 16
km (10 miles). If the hybrid battery becomes fully discharged and you are
unable to jump-start the vehicle with the 12-volt battery, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
If the shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shift
position in D or B to avoid discharging the battery.
Charging the 12-volt battery
P. 478
After the 12-volt battery has discharged or has been changed or
removed
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is running on the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.

UK_AURIS_HV_EE
Note for the entry function
Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,
near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage cover, floor or in
the glove box when the hybrid system is started or “POWER” switch
modes are changed.
Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
electronic key inside the vehicle.
As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the hybrid system if the electronic key is near the window.
The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash. (The doors will automatically
be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
Security feature
If a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security feature automatically locks the vehicle again.
