NOTICE
If the vehicle cannot be shifted out of P
There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt
battery in this situation.
Notes regarding shift lever and P position switch operation
Avoid repeatedly operating the shift lever and P position switch in quick suc-
cession. The system protection function may activate and temporarily pre-
vent the vehicle from shifting out of P. If this happens, wait for around 15
seconds before attempting to change the shift position again.

By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driv-
ing can be achieved.
Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be
used to charge the battery.
Eco Driving Indicator Light can be enabled or disabled. (P. 201)
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the hybrid system and its components
The hybrid system may be overheating if the top segments of the engine
coolant temperature gauge are flashing. In this case, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and check the hybrid system after it has cooled com-
pletely. (P. 479)

When disconnecting and reconnecting 12-volt battery terminals
The following information data will be reset.
Date
Average fuel consumption
Driving range
Average vehicle speed
Elapsed time
Outside temperature display
In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change.
When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 25 km/h [16 mph])
When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
NOTICE
The multi-information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropri-
ate to the prevailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician inspect the level and specific grav-
ity of 12-volt battery electrolyte.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
Before driving the vehicle
Perform the following according to the driving conditions.
Do not try to forcibly open a window, scrape an outside rear
view mirror surface or move a wiper or outside rear view mir-
ror that is frozen. Pour warm water over the frozen area to
melt the ice. Wipe away the water immediately to prevent it
from freezing.
To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents
in front of the windshield.
Remove any ice that has accumulated on the vehicle chassis.
Periodically check for and remove any excess ice or snow
that may have accumulated in the wheel well or on the
brakes.

253 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

Interior features
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched to
in accordance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.
Window defogger feature
Recirculated air mode may automatically switch to outside air mode in situa-
tions where the windows need to be defogged.
When outside air temperature approaches 0°C (32°F)
The air conditioning system may not operate even when
is pressed.
When
is selected for the air outlets used
For your driving comfort, air flowing to the feet may be warmer than air flow-
ing to the upper body depending on the temperature setting.
When Eco drive mode is on
If the outside temperature exceeds a preset temperature, the system will
switch to recirculated air mode.
The effectiveness of the air conditioning will be lower than normal.
The fan speed level drops below the normal rate.
CAUTION
To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
hybrid system is off.

256 3-2. Using the audio system
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
Using cellular phones
Interference may be heard through the audio system's speakers if a cellular
phone is being used inside or close to the vehicle while the audio system is
operating.
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the audio system on longer than necessary when the hybrid
system is off.
To avoid damaging the audio system
Take care not to spill drinks or other fluids over the audio system.

EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement
function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are listening to is not broadcasting a
traffic information program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic
announcement) mode, the radio will be switched automatically to a station
broadcasting a traffic information program in the EON AF list when traffic
information begins.
When the 12-volt battery is disconnected
Stations presets are erased.
Reception sensitivity
Maintaining perfect radio reception at all times is difficult due to the con-
tinually changing position of the antenna, differences in signal strength
and surrounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.
When is used, automatic station selection and automatic regis-
tering of stations may not be possible.
The radio antenna is mounted on the rear roof. The antenna can be
removed from the base by turning it.
