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.

*: 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.
