32 1-1. Hybrid system
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
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 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.
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.

168 2-1. Driving procedures
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
CAUTION
Do not adjust the display, the position 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 that can cause accidents
that may result in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their bod-
ies are not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.
Abrupt changes from shift position D to B and rapid changes in the engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
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 properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in
an accident.
When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident and result in death or serious injury.
After the shift lever is operated, make sure to check the current shift position
using the shift position indicator. (P. 191)
When the vehicle is stopped
Do not race the hybrid system.
If the vehicle is in any shift position other than P or N, the vehicle may
accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident.
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 open space
and check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.
Always keep a foot on the brake pedal while the hybrid system is operating
to prevent an accident caused by the vehicle moving.

If the hybrid system does not start
The immobilizer system may not have been deactivated. (P. 106)
If the “READY” indicator does not come on
If the “READY” indicator does not come on when you press the “POWER”
switch with the shift position in P and the brake pedal pressed, contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional immediately.
When the “POWER” switch indicator flashes in amber
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, immediately.
Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or ON mode (hybrid system is not oper-
ating) for more than an hour with the shift position in P, the “POWER” switch
will automatically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-
volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the “POWER” switch in
ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods of time when the hybrid system
is not operating.
Operation of the “POWER” switch
When operating the “POWER” switch, one short, firm press is enough. If
the switch is pressed improperly, the hybrid system may not start or the
“POWER” switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and
hold the switch.
If an attempt is made to restart the hybrid system immediately after turn-
ing the “POWER” switch off, the hybrid system may not start in some
cases. After turning the “POWER” switch off, wait a few seconds before
restarting the hybrid system.
When leaving the vehicle
If the indicator on the “POWER” switch stays on, the “POWER” switch is not
yet off.
Turn the “POWER” switch off before you leave the vehicle.

Automatic P position selection function
When the shift position is other than P, pressing the “POWER” switch
with the vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to
change to P automatically, and then the “POWER” switch will turn off.
When turning the “POWER” switch off from a position other than P, firmly
depress the brake pedal and confirm that the shift position* has changed
to P before slowly releasing the brake pedal.
*: Even after the instrument panel display has been turned off, the shift
position indicator will continue to be displayed for several seconds.
If the P position control system malfunctions, the “POWER” switch will
not be able to be turned off. In such a case, the switch can be turned off
by applying the parking brake.
When the system malfunctions, immediately have your vehicle serviced
by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.

When driving
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
Using engine braking
To use engine braking, select the B position.
During high speed driving, you may feel that deceleration by engine brak-
ing is less than that of a conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the transmission in B for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent this, use D for nor-
mal driving.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
lever is in R.
Eco drive mode
When the accelerator pedal is depressed in Eco drive mode, it may take
more time to accelerate than usual. This is normal operation.
Alarms
If the shift position is changed in any of the following situations, a buzzer will
sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will
automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When the shift lever is changed from P to another position without
depressing the brake pedal.
• When the shift position is changed from P or N to B.
Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pushed while the vehicle is moving.
• When shift position R is selected while the vehicle is moving forward.
• When shift position D is selected while the vehicle is moving in reverse.
• When the shift position is changed from R to B.

186 2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
Shift lever precautions
Do not hang anything on the shift lever.
Doing so could prevent the shift lever from returning to position, causing
unexpected accidents to occur when the vehicle is in motion.
NOTICE
Situations where P position control system malfunctions are possible
If any of the following situations occurs, P position control system malfunc-
tions are possible.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place on level ground, apply the park-
ing brake, and then contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
When a warning message indicating malfunction appears on the multi-
information display. (P. 437)
When the P position switch indicator flashes.
When the shift position symbols (such as P and R) are flashing on the shift
position indicator.
When the shift position indicator remains off.
When in heavy traffic
If shift position N is selected, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. To help prevent the battery from discharging, avoid leaving the N
position selected for an extended period of time.
