C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
There  is  an  air  intake  vent  under 
the  right  side  of  the  rear  seat  for 
the  purpose  of  cooling  the  hybrid 
battery  (traction  battery).  If  the 
vent  becomes  blocked,  it  may 
cause  the  input-output  of  the 
hybrid  battery  (traction  battery)  to 
be limited. 
When  a  certain  level  of  impact  is  detected  by  the  impact  sensor ,  the 
emergency shut off system blocks the high voltage current and s tops 
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel le akage. If 
the emergency shut off system activates, your vehicle will not  restart. 
To restart the hybrid system, contact any authorized Toyota ret ailer 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  To y o t a 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r. 
■ Running out of fuel 
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cann ot be started, 
refuel  the  vehicle  with  at  leas t  enough  gasoline  to  make  the  low  fuel  level 
warning  light  ( P.  685)  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 
7.5 L [2.0 gal., 1.7 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  th e  vehicle  is 
inclined.) 
■ Electromagnetic waves 
● High  voltage parts  and cables on Hybrid Electric Vehicles incorporate  elec- 
tromagnetic  shielding,  and  therefore  emit  approximately  the  sam e  amount 
of  electromagnetic  waves  as  conventional  gasoline  powered  vehic les  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 lif e. 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 regulati on ECE100 
(Battery electric vehicle safety).

WARNING
■Road accident cautions 
Observe  the  following  precautions  to  reduce  the  risk  of  death  o r  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. 
● 2ZR-FXE engine (for Guadelope, Martinique, F. Guiana and Greenland): If 
a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be strong  alkaline elec- 
trolyte  from  the  hybrid  battery  (traction  battery).  If  it  comes   into  contact 
with your skin or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large am ount of water 
or, if possible, boric acid solution. Seek immediate medical at tention. 
● 2ZR-FXE  engine  (except  for  Guadelope,  Martinique,  F.  Guiana  and 
Greenland): Do not touch the batte ry if liquid is leaking from or adhering to 
it. If electrolyte (carbonic-based organic electrolyte) from th e hybrid battery 
(traction  battery)  comes  into  contact  with  the  eyes  or  skin,  it   could  cause 
blindness  or  skin  wounds.  In  the  unlikely  event  that  it  comes  i nto  contact 
with the eyes or skin, wash it of f immediately with a large amount of water, 
and seek immediate medical attention. 
● 2ZR-FXE  engine  (except  for  Guadelope,  Martinique,  F.  Guiana  and 
Greenland):  If  electrolyte  is  leaking  from  the  hybrid  battery  ( traction  bat- 
tery),  do  not  approach  the  vehicle.  Even  in  the  unlikely  event  that  the 
hybrid  battery  (traction  battery)  is  damaged,  the  internal  cons truction  of 
the  battery  will  prevent  a  large  amount  of  electrolyte  from  lea king  out. 
However, any electrolyte that does leak out will give off a vap or. This vapor 
is an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poisoning  if inhaled. 
● 2ZR-FXE  engine  (except  for  Guadelope,  Martinique,  F.  Guiana  and 
Greenland):  Do  not  bring  burning  or   high-temperature  items  close  to  the 
electrolyte. The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire. 
● If a fire occurs in the Hybrid Electric Vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as 
possible.  Never  use  a  fire  extinguisher  that  is  not  meant  for  e lectric  fires. 
Using even a small amount of water may be dangerous. 
● If  your  vehicle  needs  to  be  towed,  do  so  with  front  wheels  raised.  If  the 
wheels connected to the electric motor (traction motor) are on  the ground 
when  towing,  the  motor  may  continue  to  generate  electricity.  Th is  may 
cause a fire. ( P. 674) 
● Carefully  inspect  the  ground  under  the  vehicle.  If  you  find  that  liquid  has 
leaked onto the ground, the fuel system may have been damaged.  Leave 
the vehicle as soon as possible.

■ Engine speed 
On  Hybrid  Electric  Vehicles,  engine  speed  is  precisely  controll ed  in  order  to 
help improve fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions, etc.   
There  are  times  when  the  engine  speed  that  is  displayed  may  dif fer  even 
when vehicle operation and driving conditions are the same. 
■ Outside temperature display 
● In  the  following  situations,  the  correct  outside  temperature  may  not  be  dis- 
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change. 
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 25 km/h [16  mph]) 
• When  the  outside  temperature  has  changed  suddenly  (at  the  entr ance/ 
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.) 
● When “--” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.  
Take  your  vehicle  to  any  authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  a uthorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
■ Adjusting the clock (if equipped) 
The clocks can be adjusted on the multimedia system screen.  
Refer to “Navigation and multimedia system Owner’s manual” or “ Multimedia 
owner’s manual”.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components 
The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature  gauge is 
in  the  red  zone  (“H”).  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehic le  in  a  safe 
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 757)
