911-3. Hybrid system
1
For safety and security
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E
There is an air intake vent on the 
side of the lower part of the rear 
left seat for the purpose of cooling 
the hybrid battery (traction bat- 
tery). When the air intake vent is 
blocked, the battery operations 
will be restricted and cause a 
decline in fuel consumption. 
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the 
emergency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and stops 
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If 
the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not restart. 
To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in 
the hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted. 
If a warning message is shown on 
the multi-information display, read 
the message and follow the 
instructions.

■ Hybrid System Indicator 
● By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving 
can be achieved. 
● Charge area indicates regeneration* status. Regenerated energy will be 
used to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of 
energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy. 
■ Engine speed 
On hybrid vehicles, engine speed is precisely controlled in order to help 
improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions, etc.  
There are times when the engine speed that is displayed may differ even
when vehicle operation and driving conditions are the same.

1443-1. Key information
YARIS_HV_OM_Europe_OM52J66E 
■ Key battery depletion
Vehicles without a smart entry & start system 
If the wireless remote control function does not operate, the battery may be 
depleted. Replace the battery when necessary. ( P. 477)
Vehicles with a smart entry & start system 
● The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. 
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the hybrid 
system stops. ( P. 477) 
● As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become 
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi- 
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery 
when necessary. ( P. 477) 
• The smart entry & start system or the wireless remote control does not 
operate. 
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on. 
● To avoid serious deterioration, do not leave the electronic key within 1 m 
(3 ft.) of the following electrical  appliances that produce a magnetic field: 
•TVs 
• Personal computers 
• Cellular phones, cordless phones and battery chargers 
• Recharging cellular phones or cordless phones
• Induction cookers 
• Table lamps 
■ Replacing the battery 
 P. 477 
■ Confirmation of the registered key number (vehicles with a smart entry & 
start system) 
The number of keys already registered to the vehicle can be confirmed. Ask 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer for details. 
■ If a wrong key is used 
On some models, the key cylinder rotates freely to isolate inside mechanism. 
■ Customization 
Settings (e.g. wireless remote control system) can be changed.
