Operation of each component
Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic
key battery and the vehicle battery from being discharged while the vehicle is
not in operation for a long time.
In the following situations, the smart entry & start system may take some
time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 2 m (6 ft.) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.

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.

switch off, the hybrid system may not start in some cases. After turning the
power switch off, please wait a few seconds before restarting the hybrid sys-
tem.

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 auto-
matically, 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.

Driving
Turning off both TRC and VSC systems (except hybrid model)
To turn the TRC and VSC systems off, press and hold the button for more
than 3 seconds while the vehicle is stopped.
The “TRC OFF” indicator light and VSC OFF indicator light will come on.
Press the button again to turn the systems back on.
When the “TRC OFF” indicator light comes on even if the VSC OFF
switch has not been pressed (except hybrid model)
TRC cannot be operated. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC and TRC
systems
Except hybrid model: A sound may be heard from the engine compartment
when the engine is started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This
sound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these sys-
tems.
Hybrid model: A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when
the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the hybrid system is started
or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a
malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems (except hybrid model)
After turning the TRC and VSC systems off, the systems will be automatically
reactivated in the following situations:
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system: When the engine switch is
turned to the “LOCK” position
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system: When the engine switch is turned
off
If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic reactivation will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.

3945-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12E33E)Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
When the outside temperature is low
The dehumidification function 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 position of the temperature adjust-
ment dial.
Air conditioning odors
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time
immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to
the Stop & Start system (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to Stop & Start system operations, the air
conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and only
ambient temperature air is blown. If the vehicle has an auto air conditioning
system, the blowing of ambient temperature air may also stop. To stop the air
conditioning system from turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and
refrain from using the Stop & Start system.
