*1: Except hybrid model: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned
to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) or the
engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart entry
& start system) to indicate that a system check is being performed. They
will turn off after the engine is on, or after a few seconds. There may be a
malfunction in a system if the lights do not come on, or turn off. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
*2: Hybrid model: These lights turn on when the power switch is turned to ON
mode to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off
after the hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be a mal-
function in a system if a light does not come on, or if the lights do not turn
off. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Except hybrid model
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems are
not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional
immediately if this occurs.
Hybrid model
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional immediately if this occurs.

CAUTION
The display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the display. At
extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may respond slowly, and
display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or injury.
Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during setting up the display, ensure that
the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area
such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO)
may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the engine and its components
Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
The engine may be overheating in the following situations. Immediately
stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled
down completely. (P. 700, 703)
Drive monitor display: When the high engine coolant temperature warning
light comes on.
Multi-information display: When the indicator needle of the engine coolant
temperature gauge enters the red zone (except hybrid model), or the
engine coolant temperature warning message is shown on the multi-infor-
mation display (hybrid model).

Operation of each component
When the door cannot be locked by the lock sensor on the surface of the
door handle
Alarms and warning indicators
Vehicles without a multi-information display: A combination of exterior and
interior alarms as well as warning lights are used to prevent theft of the vehi-
cle and unforeseeable accidents resulting from erroneous operation. Take
appropriate measures for the warning light that comes on. (P. 607)
Vehicles with a multi-information display: A combination of exterior and inte-
rior alarms as well as warning messages shown on the multi-information dis-
play are used to prevent theft of the vehicle and accidents resulting from
erroneous operation. Take appropriate measures in response to any warning
message on the multi-information display. (P. 625)
The following table describes circumstances and correction procedures when
only alarms are sounded. Use your palm to touch the lock sensor.

2304-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)For efficient use (hybrid model)
Select the D position when driving.
In the N position, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gen-
erated.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) will be discharged requiring unneces-
sary engine power to recharge.
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration. Gradual acceleration and decel-
eration will make more effective use of the traction motor without having to
use gasoline engine power.
Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration consumes hybrid battery (traction battery) power,
resulting in poor acceleration. Battery power can be restored by driving with
the accelerator pedal slightly released.
Push the P position switch when parking.
In the N position, the hybrid battery (traction battery) does not recharge.
Leaving the N position selected for an extended period of the time may dis-
charge the hybrid battery. The vehicle cannot run if the hybrid battery is dis-
charged.
Brake actuator (hybrid model)
The brake actuator uses brake fluid pressurized by the pump to power-assist
the brakes. If the brake actuator fails during driving, the brake system warn-
ing light comes on and the buzzer sounds intermittently. In this case, the
brakes may not work properly. If they do not work well, depress the brake
pedal firmly. If the brake system warning light comes on, immediately stop
your vehicle and contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
In the following conditions, you may hear a sound in the engine compartment.
This is not a malfunction.
The driver’s door is opened with the hybrid system turned off.
The brake pedal is depressed with the hybrid system turned off.
After the hybrid system is turned on.
The brake pedal is depressed repeatedly with the hybrid system turned on.
After the hybrid system is turned off.
The brake pedal may be hard to depress or the brake pedal stroke may be
short before turning the hybrid system on. This is not a malfunction.

2384-1. Before driving
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When braking
Except hybrid model: The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic
systems; if one of the systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case,
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase.
If this happens, do not continue to drive the vehicle. Have your brakes
fixed immediately.
Hybrid model: The brake system consists of 3 individual hydraulic sys-
tems; if one of the systems fails, the others will still operate. In this case,
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase. If this happens, do not continue to drive the
vehicle. If the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on
together with the buzzer sound while driving, immediately stop the vehicle
in a safe place and contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
NOTICE
When driving the vehicle (vehicles without a manual transmission)
Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving, as this may restrain driving torque.
Vehicles without a multi-mode manual transmission: Do not use the accel-
erator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time
to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission: Do not use the acceler-
ator pedal or starting assist system to hold the vehicle on a hill.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
