■ Conditions affecting operation 
The smart entry & start system uses weak radio waves. In the fo llowing situa- 
tions, the communication between the electronic key and the veh icle may be 
affected,  preventing  the  smart  entry  &  start  system,  wireless  r emote  control 
and immobilizer system from operating properly. (Ways of coping : P. 746) 
● When the electronic key battery is depleted 
● Near  a  TV  tower,  electric  power  plant,  gas  station,  radio  station,  large  dis- 
play,  airport  or  other  facility  that  generates  strong  radio  wav es  or  electrical 
noise 
● When  carrying  a  portable  radio,  cellular  phone,  cordless  phone or  other 
wireless communication device 
● When  the  electronic  key  is  in  contact  with,  or  is  covered  by  the  following 
metallic objects 
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached 
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags 
• Coins 
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs 
● When other wireless keys (that emit radio waves) are being used nearby 
● When  carrying  the  electronic  key  together  with  the  following  devices  that 
emit radio waves 
• Portable  radio, cellular phone,  cordless  phone or other wirele ss commu- 
nication devices 
• Another electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio wave s 
• Personal computers or personal digital assistants (PDAs) 
• Digital audio players 
• Portable game systems 
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects are attached  to  the 
rear window  
● When  the  electronic  key  is  placed  near  a  battery  charger  or  electronic 
devices 
● When parking at a meter

2924-1. Before driving
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. 
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle 
Always  turn  the  hybrid  system  off.  Otherwise,  if  you  accidental ly  move  the 
shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause  an accident or 
fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the veh icle is parked in 
a  poorly  ventilated  area,  exhaust  gases  may  collect  and  enter  t he  vehicle, 
leading to death or a serious health hazard. 
■ When braking  
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.  
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this ma y cause 
one  side  of  the  vehicle  to  brake  differently  than  the  other  sid e. Also,  the 
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle. 
● If  the electronically controlled assist function does not operate, do not fol- 
low  other  vehicles  closely  and  avoid  downhill  or  sharp  turns  th at  require 
braking. 
In  this  case,  braking  is  still  possible,  but  the  brake  pedal  sh ould  be 
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance wi ll increase. 
Have your brakes fixed immediately. 
● The  brake  system  consists  of  2  or  more  individual  hydraulic  systems;  if 
one  of  the  systems  fails,  the  other(s)  will  still  operate.  In  t his  case,  the 
brake  pedal  should  be  depressed  more  firmly  than  usual  and  the  braking 
distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.

Toyota parking assist-sensor
: If equipped
The distance from your vehicle to objects, such as a wall, when 
parallel  parking  or  maneuvering  into  a  garage  is  measured  by 
the sensors and communicated via the multi-information display 
and  a  buzzer.  Always  check  the  surrounding  area  when  using
this system.
Types of sensors
Front corner sensors 
Front center sensors 
Rear corner sensors 
Rear center sensors 
Front side sensors  
(if equipped)

This system can be enabled/disabled on the multi-information display. 
Press “ ” or “” of the meter control switches, select  . 
Press  “ ”  or  “”  of  the  meter  control  switches,  select  ,  and 
press   to select the desired setting (on/off).
When  the Toyota  parking  assist-sensor  function  is  disabled,  the  Toyota 
parking assist-sensor OFF indicator ( P. 161) illuminates.  
Once turned off, the Toyota parking assist-sensor will remain O FF until it 
is turned ON again via the   screen of the multi-information dis play. 
(The system will not automatically turn ON even when the hybrid  system 
is restarted.)
When  the  sensors  detect  an  objects,  such  as  a  wall,  a  graphic  i s 
shown on the multi-information display depending on the positio n and 
distance to the objects.

■Buzzer operation and distance to an object 
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are operating. 
● The  buzzer  beeps  faster  as  the  vehicle  approaches  an  object. 
When  the  vehicle  comes  within  approximately  30  cm  (1.0  ft.)  of 
the object, the buzzer sounds continuously. 
● When 2 or more objects are detected simultaneously, the buzzer 
sounds for the nearest object. If one or more objects come with in 
approximately 30 cm (1.0 ft.) of the vehicle, the buzzer will r epeat 
a long tone, followed by fast beeps. 
● Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding, 
if the distance between the vehicle and the detected object doe s 
not become shorter, the buzzer will be muted automatically.  
(However,  if  the  distance  between  the  vehicle  and  object  is 
30 cm (1.0 ft.) or less, this function will not operate.)
■Adjusting the buzzer volume 
The  buzzer  volume  can  be  adjusted  on  the  multi-information  dis- 
play.  
The  volume  of  buzzers  for  the  Toyota  parking  assist-sensor  and 
RCTA function (if equipped) will be adjusted simultaneously.  
Use the meter control switches to change settings. ( P. 171) 
Press “ ” or “” to select  . 
Press “ ” or “” to select “Vehicle Settings”, and then press  . 
Press  “ ”  or  “”  to  select    or  ,  and 
select the volume and then press  .
Each time the switch is  pressed, the volume level will change b etween

The  buzzers  for  the  Toyota  parking  assist-sensor  and  RCTA  func- 
tion (if equipped) will be muted simultaneously.  
Mute will be canceled automatically in the following situations : 
● When the shift lever is changed. 
● When the vehicle speed exceeds a certain speed. 
● When the operating function is temporarily canceled. 
● When the operating function is disabled manually. 
● When the power switch is turned off.
