■i-Size child restraint systems fastened with ISOFIX (ECE
R129) - Compatibility table
If your child restraint system is of “i-Size” category, you can install it
on the positions mentioned by i-U in the table below.
Child restraint system category can be found in the child restraint
system manual.
Key of letters inserted in the above table:
X: Not suitable for use with i-Size child restraint systems.
i-U: Suitable for i-Size “universal” child restraint systems forward and
rearward facing.
*: If the head restraint interferes with your child restraint system, and the
head restraint can be removed, remove the head restraint.
Otherwise, put the head restraint in the upper most position.
When securing some types of child restraint systems in rear seat, it
may not be possible to properly use the seat belts in positions next
to the child restraint without interfering with it or affecting seat belt
effectiveness. Be sure your seat belt fits snugly across your shoul-
der and low on your hips. If it does not, or if it interferes with the
child restraint, move to a different position. Failure to do so may
result in death or serious injury.
● When installing a child restraint in the rear seats, adjust the front
seat so that it does not interfere with the child or child restraint
system.

When not in use, make certain to close the lid. If it remains open, the lid
may be damaged.

861-3. Hybrid system

Hybrid system features
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from
actual item.
Gasoline engine
Electric motor (traction motor)
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different
from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with
the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate it with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and
an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving condi-
tions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emis-
sions.

◆When stopped/during start off
The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle is stopped. During
start off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the vehicle. At
slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle slope, the engine is
stopped* and the electric motor (traction motor) is used.
When the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
not being charged.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction battery) requires charging or the engine
is warming up, etc., the gasoline engine will not automatically stop.
( P. 88)
◆During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid battery (traction battery) as nec-
essary.
◆When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is added to that of the gasoline
engine via the electric motor (traction motor).
◆When braking (regenerative braking)
The wheels operate the electric motor (traction motor) as a power
generator, and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged.

881-3. Hybrid system
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic ener gy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in c onjunction with the recharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or B.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or B.
■ EV indicator
■ Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
● During gasoline engine warm-up
● During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
● When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
● When the heater is switched on
■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-
tery does not need to be charged from an outside source. However, if the
vehicle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will
slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle at least once
every few months for at least 30 minutes or 16 km (10 miles). If the hybrid
battery (traction battery) becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start
the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
 P. 578
The EV indicator comes on when the
vehicle is driven using only the electric
motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.
