1201-4. Hybrid system
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
■Regenerative braking 
● In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and 
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the rech arging of the 
hybrid battery (traction battery). 
• The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift  lever in D, B 
(2ZR-FXE engine) or S (M20A-FXS engine). 
• The  brake  pedal  is  depressed  while  driving  with  the  shift  leve r  in  D,  B 
(2ZR-FXE engine) or S (M20A-FXS engine). 
● While the GPF system (P. 531) is operating to regenerate the exhaust gas 
filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may not be rechar ged. 
■ 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
*: Depending  on  the  circumstances,  the  gasoline  engine  may  also  not  stop 
automatically in situations other than those above. 
■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery) 
As  the  gasoline  engine  charges  the  hybrid  battery  (traction  bat tery),  the  bat- 
tery  does  not  need  to  be  charged  from  an  outside  source.  Howeve r,   if   t h e 
vehicle  is  left  parked  for  a  long  time  the  hybrid  battery  (trac tion  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 To yota authorized 
repairer, or any r eliable repairer. 
The  EV  indicator  comes  on  when  the 
vehicle  is  driven  using  only  the  electric 
motor  (traction  motor)  or  the  gasoline 
engine is stopped. 

5284-5. Using the driving support systems
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
WARNING
●Do  not  use  the  system  in  the  following  situations,  as  the  system  may  be 
unable to correctly assist you in reaching the target parking s pot and may 
lead to an unexpected accident. 
• In an area that is not a parking lot 
• A parking lot that is not paved and has no parking space lines , such as 
a sand or gravel parking lot
• A parking lot that has a slope or undulations in the road 
• A frozen, snow-covered or slippery road 
• The asphalt is melting due to hot weather
• There is an obstacle between the vehicle and the target parkin g spot 
• Using tire chains or compact spare tire (if equipped) 
● Do not  use  tire  other  than that  provided  by the  manufacturer. The  system 
may  not  operate  properly.  When  replacing  tires,  contact  any  aut horized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable  repairer. 
● The system may not be able position the vehicle in the set location in the 
following situations. 
• The tires are extremely worn or the tire pressure is low 
• The vehicle is carrying very heavy load 
• The vehicle is tilted due to having luggage, etc., located on  one side of 
the vehicle 
• There  are  road  heaters  installed  in  the  parking  lot  to  prevent   the  road 
surface from freezing.
In  any  other  situations  when  the  set  position  and  vehicle  posit ion greatly 
differ,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  any  authorized  Toyota  ret ailer  or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

Driving
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
◆When braking 
Make  sure  to  operate  the  brakes  gently  and  in  a  timely  manner.  A 
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slo w- 
ing down.
◆Delays 
Repeated  acceleration  and  deceleration,  as  well  as  long  waits  a t 
traffic  lights,  will  lead  to  bad  fuel  economy.  Check  traffic  re ports 
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When drivi ng 
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the v ehicle to 
move  forward  slightly  while  avoiding  overuse  of  the  accelerator 
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption .
◆Highway driving 
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before st op- 
ping  at  a  toll  booth  or  similar,  allow  plenty  of  time  to  releas e  the 
accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of el ec- 
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
◆Air conditioning 
Use  the  air  conditioning  only  when  necessary.  Doing  so  can  help 
reduce excessive gasoline consumption. 
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recirc u- 
lated  air  mode.  Doing  so  will  help  to  reduce  the  burden  on  the  air 
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well. 
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically c ut out 
until it and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will cons ume fuel. 
Fuel  consumption  can  be  improved  by  avoiding  overuse  of  the 
heater.
