Multi-mode manual transmission
With the brake pedal depressed, firmly set the parking brake and
shift the shift lever to E or M.
When shifting the shift lever to E: Make sure that the display of the gear
position indicator shows E.
When shifting the shift lever to M: Make sure that the display of the gear
position indicator shows 1.
Gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Release the parking brake.
Manual transmission
With the parking brake firmly set and the clutch pedal fully
depressed, shift the shift lever to 1.
Lightly depress the accelerator pedal at the same time as gradually
releasing the clutch pedal.
Release the parking brake.
When starting off on an uphill (vehicles with a hill-start assist control)
The hill-start assist control is available. (P. 374)
Driving in the rain
Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
Engine speed while driving (vehicles with a Multidrive)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting control or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
When the accelerator pedal is released
When the brake pedal is depressed while sport mode is selected

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.

Driving
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
When the vehicle is parked
Except hybrid model: Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is
running or immediately after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
Hybrid model: Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the hybrid system is
operating or immediately after turning the hybrid system off.
Doing so may cause burns.
Vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission: Do not turn off the
engine until 1st or reverse is engaged properly and completely. Confirm
that the gear is engaged by viewing the gear position indicator.
Parking the vehicle without a gear engaged may cause the vehicle to
move result in an accident.
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Except hybrid model: Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you acciden-
tally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause
an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is
parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the
vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
Hybrid model: Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you acciden-
tally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause
an accident or fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the
vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and
enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.
When braking
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
If the brake actuator (hybrid model) or brake booster (except hybrid model)
does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid hills or
sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.
Except hybrid model: Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.

Types of sensors
Toyota parking assist-sensor switch
Turns Toyota parking assist-
sensor on/off
When on, the indicator light
comes on to inform the driver
that the system is operational.
Toyota parking assist-sensor
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when paral-
lel parking or maneuvering into a garage is measured by the
sensors and communicated via the multi-information display
and a buzzer. Always check the surrounding area when using
this system.
