◆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.

■ 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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable 
repairer. 
■ 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 retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable repairer regarding maintenance,  repair, recycling and disposal. Do 
not dispose of the vehicle yourself. 
■ Customization 
Settings (e.g. on/off operation of the EV indicator) can be changed.  
(Customizable features  P. 603)

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.

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.

■If a warning light comes on, a warning message is displayed, or the 
12-volt battery is disconnected 
The hybrid system may not start. In this case, try to start the system again. If 
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Running out of fuel 
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, 
refuel the vehicle with at least enough  gasoline to make the low fuel level 
warning light ( P. 521) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the 
hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount of fuel is about 
6.1 L [1.6 gal., 1.3 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value 
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is
inclined.) 
■ Electromagnetic waves 
● High voltage parts and cables on hybrid vehicles incorporate electromag- 
netic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of elec- 
tromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances. 
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced 
radio parts. 
■ 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).
