781-2. Hybrid system
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E 
■ After the 12-volt battery has discharged or when the terminal has been 
removed and installed during exchange, etc. 
The gasoline engine may not stop even if the vehicle is being driven by the 
hybrid battery (traction battery). If this continues for a few days, contact any 
authorized Toyota dealer or repair er, or another duly qualified and equipped 
professional. 
■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle 
There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to 
move with the “READY” indicator is illuminated. For safety, apply the parking 
brake and make sure to shift the shift lever to P when parked. 
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is 
operating and are not a malfunction: 
● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment. 
● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the 
rear seats when the hybrid system starts or stops. 
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the 
hybrid battery (traction battery), behind the rear seats, when the hybrid sys-
tem is started or stopped. 
● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is open. 
● Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine 
starts or stops, when driving at low speeds, or during idling. 
● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply. 
● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is 
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released. 
● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops. 
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent on the side of the 
lower part of the rear left seats. 
■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal 
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or  repairer, or another duly qualified 
and equipped professional regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and dis- 
posal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself. 
■ Customization 
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the EV indicator) can be changed.  
(Customizable features  P. 475)

For safety and security
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E 
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) 
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of 
the hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving
style and driving conditions. 
■ Declaration of conformity 
This model conforms to hydrogen emissions according to regulation ECE100 
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■ High voltage precautions 
This vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys- 
tem. DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause severe 
burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury. 
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts, 
cables or their connectors. 
● The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses high 
voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature, and 
always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle. 
■ Road accident cautions 
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious 
injury: 
● Pull your vehicle off the road, apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever 
to P, and turn the hybrid system off. 
● Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors. 
● If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric 
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires. 
● If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong alkaline 
electrolyte from the hybrid battery (traction battery). If it comes into contact 
with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water
or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.
● Never try to open the service plug 
access hole located underneath the 
rear seats. The service plug is used
only when the vehicle is serviced and is 
subject to high voltage.

Operation of each component
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52G76E

Returning the rear seatbacks
WARNING
■ When folding the rear seatbacks down 
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving. 
● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift 
lever to P. 
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart- 
ment while driving. 
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment. 
● Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is 
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used. 
● Be careful not to catch your hand when folding the rear seatbacks. 
● Depending on the position of the front seat, it may interfere when trying to 
fold down the rear seatbacks. If this happens, adjust the position of the 
front seat.
