Hybrid system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the
actual item.
Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high volt-
age system (about 520 V at maximum) as well as contains parts
that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is operating.
Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

Driving
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in D for
normal driving.
Suitable for improving the fuel economy, because the torque corre-
sponding to the accelerator pedal depression amount can be gener-
ated more smoothly than it is in normal conditions and the operation
of the air conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized.
Eco drive mode
When Eco drive mode is turned on,
the “ECO MODE” indicator will
come on.
Pressing the “ECO MODE” switch
again turns Eco drive mode off.
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. ( P. 298) To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the temper ature setting or fan speed, or turn
off Eco drive mode.
■ When in heavy traffic
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. To help prevent the battery fr om discharging, avoid putting the shift
lever in N for an extended period of time.

■Temporary cancelation of the LDA system functions
If any of the following occurs, the LDA system functions will be temporarily
canceled. The functions will resume after the necessary operating conditions
have returned.
● The turn signal lever is operated.
● The vehicle speed deviates from the operating range of the LDA system
functions.
● When the lane lines cannot be recognized while driving.
● When the lane departure warning sounds.
The lane departure warning function will not operate again for a several sec-
onds after it has been activated, even if the vehicle leaves the lane again.
■ The lane departure warning
Depending on the audio system sound level or air conditioning fan noise
while the audio system or air conditioning sy stem is in use, it may be difficult
to hear the warning sound.
■ After the vehicle has been parked in the sun
The LDA system may not be immediatel y available. When the temperature in
the cabin decreases and the temperature around the front sensor ( P. 214)
becomes suitable for its operation, the functions will begin to operate.
■ If there are lane markers on only one side of the vehicle
The lane departure warning will not operate for the side on which lane mark-
ers could not be recognized.
■ Conditions in which the function may not operate correctly
In the following situations, the front sensor may be unable to recognize lane
markers causing the lane departure warning function to operate incorrectly.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● When driving through an area, such as a tollbooth, a crossing or before a
ticket checkpoint
● When driving on a sharp curve
● When lane markers are extremely narrow or extremely wide
● When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy load
or improper tire inflation pressure
● When the following distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is
extremely short
● When the lane markers are yellow (These may be more difficult for the sys-
tem to recognize compared to white markers.)
● When the lane markers are broken, Botts’ dots (raised pavement markers)
or stones

Hybrid vehicle driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( P. 191)
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 99)
◆Shift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. When using
the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. In the N, the
gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be generated. Also,
when using the air conditioning system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is consumed.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:
2524-7. Driving tips
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will consume fuel.
Also, fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the
heater.
◆Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to poor fuel economy. Use tires that are appro-
priate for the season.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carry-
ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause
poor fuel economy.
◆Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically
when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, fre-
quently driving short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly
warm up, which can lead to excess fuel consumption.
