■ When the side window cannot be opened or closed 
When the jam protection function or catch protection function operates 
unusually and the side window cannot be opened or closed, perform the fol- 
lowing operations with the power window switch of that door. 
● Stop the vehicle. With the engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles 
without a smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a
smart entry & start system), within 4 seconds of the jam protection function
or catch protection function activating, continuously operate the power win-
dow switch in the one-touch closing direction or one-touch opening direction 
so that the side window can be opened and closed. 
● If the side window cannot be opened and closed even when performing the 
above operations, perform the following procedure for function initialization. 
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart 
entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart entry
& start system). 
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction 
and completely close the side window. 
Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pulling the 
switch in the one-touch closing direction, and hold it there for approxi-
mately 6 seconds or more. 
Press and hold the power window switch in the one-touch opening direc- 
tion. After the side window is completely opened, continue holding the
switch for an additional 1 second or more. 
Release the power window switch for a moment, resume pushing the 
switch in the one-touch opening direction, and hold it there for approxi-
mately 4 seconds or more. 
Pull and hold the power window switch in the one-touch closing direction 
again. After the side window is completely closed, continue holding the
switch for a further 1 second or more. 
If you release the switch while the window is moving, start again from the 
beginning. If the window reverses and cannot be fully closed or opened, 
have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control) (vehicles with a Multid- 
rive) 
● When the following unusual operation is performed, the engine output may 
be restrained. 
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to 
R (D includes M) with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning mes-
sage appears on the multi-information display. 
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too much while the vehicle is in 
reverse. 
● While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trouble 
escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, deactivate TRC to can- 
cel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may become able to escape from 
the mud or fresh snow.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

2184-1. Before driving
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
■ When the vehicle is parked 
● Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in 
the vehicle when it is in the sun. 
Doing so may result in the following: 
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a 
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and 
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack. 
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s 
electrical components. 
● Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a 
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire. 
● Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place 
containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehi- 
cle. 
● Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a 
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause 
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire. 
● Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P (Multidrive), stop 
the engine and lock the vehicle. 
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.  
Vehicles with a Multidrive: If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P 
but the parking brake is not set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly
leading to an accident. 
● Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately 
after turning the engine off. 
Doing so may cause burns.

NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle (vehicles with a Multidrive) 
● Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during 
driving, as this may restrain the engine output. 
● Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake 
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill. 
■ When driving the vehicle (vehicles with a manual transmission) 
● Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during 
driving, as this may restrain the engine output. 
● Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shifting, 
do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears. 
● Observe the following to prevent the clutch from being damaged. 
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.  
Doing so may cause clutch trouble. 
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st gear when starting off and mov- 
ing forward. 
Doing so may damage the clutch. 
• Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill 
grade. 
Doing so may damage the clutch. 
● Do not shift the shift lever to R when the vehicle is still moving. Doing so 
may damage the clutch, transmission and gears. 
■ When parking the vehicle (vehicles with a Multidrive) 
Always set the parking brake, and shift the shift lever to P. Failure to do so 
may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if 
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed. 
■ Avoiding damage to vehicle parts 
● Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for 
an extended period of time.  
Doing so may damage the power steering motor. 
● When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid 
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.  
● Make sure to idle the engine immediately after high-load driving. Stop the 
engine only after the turbocharger has cooled down. 
Failure to do so may cause damage to the turbocharger.
