■After adjusting the steering wheel  
Make sure that the steering wheel is securely locked.  
The horn may not sound if the steering wheel is not securely lo cked.
WARNING
■Caution while driving 
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. 
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and caus e an acci- 
dent, resulting in death or serious injury. 
■ After adjusting the steering wheel 
Make sure that the steering wheel is securely locked. 
Otherwise,  the  steering  wheel  may  move  suddenly,  possibly  causi ng  an 
accident, resulting in death or serious injury. Also, the horn  may not sound if 
the steering wheel is not securely locked.

● On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass. 
● When  vehicle  horns,  vehicle  detectors,  motorcycle  engines,  air brakes  of 
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other  devices which 
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle 
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain. 
● If objects draw too close to the sensor. 
● When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves 
(ex. skirts with gathers or frills). 
● When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to 
the vehicle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the d etection range. 
● Strong wind is blowing 
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm 
● When  an  object  that  cannot  be  detected  is  between  the  vehicle  and  a 
detected object 
● If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front 
of the vehicle or runs out from the side of the vehicle 
● If  the  orientation  of  a  sensor  has  been  changed  due  to  a  collision  or  other 
impact 
● When  equipment  that  may  obstruct  a  sensor  is  installed,  such  as a towing 
eyelet,  bumper  protector  (an  additional  trim  strip,  etc.),  bicy cle  carrier,  or 
snow plow 
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load 
● If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle 
has been in an accident or is malfunctioning 
● When a tire chains, compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair 
kit is used 
● When  a  sensor  or  the  area  around  a 
sensor is extremely hot or cold.

Driving
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E 
■ Situations in which the system may operate even if there is no possibil- 
ity of a collision 
In  some  situations,  such  as  the  following,  the  system  may  opera te  even 
though there is no possibility of a collision. 
● When  driving  toward  a  banner,  flag,  low-hanging  branch  or  boom barrier 
(such as those used at railroad crossings, toll gates and parki ng lots) 
● When there is a rut or hole in the surface of the road 
● When  driving  on  a  metal  cover  (grating),  such  as  those  used  for  drainage 
ditches 
● When driving up or down a steep slope 
● If  a  sensor  is  hit  by  a  large  amount  of  water,  such  as  when  driving  on  a 
flooded road 
● There  is  dirt,  snow,  water  drops  or  ice  on  a  sensor.  (Cleaning the  sensors 
will resolve this problem.) 
● A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain 
● When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm 
● When  vehicle  horns,  vehicle  detectors,  motorcycle  engines,  air brakes  of 
large vehicles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other  devices which 
produce ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle 
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load 
● If  the  orientation  of  a  sensor  has  been  changed  due  to  a  collision  or  other 
impact 
● When driving on a narrow road
●When strong winds are blowing

WARNING
●In the following situations, the sensors may not operate normally and may 
lead to an accident. Drive carefully. 
• Obstacles cannot be detected in the side areas until a scan of  the side 
areas is completed. ( P. 463) 
• Even  after  the  scan  of  the  side  areas  is  completed,  obstacles  such  as 
other  vehicles,  people  or  animals  that  approach  from  the  sides  cannot 
be detected. 
• The sensor is frozen (if it thaws, the system returns to norma l).  
A warning message may display at particularly low temperatures  due to 
the sensor freezing and it may not detect parked vehicles. 
• The sensor is blocked by someone’s hand. 
• The vehicle is tilted a large amount.
• The temperature is extremely hot or cold. 
• The vehicle is driven on undulating roads, slopes, gravel road s, in areas 
with tall grass, etc.
• An  ultrasonic  wave  source  is  nearby,  such  as  the  horn  or  senso rs  of 
another vehicle, a motorcycle engine or the air brake of a larg e vehicle. 
• Heavy rain or a water strikes the vehicle.
• The  angle  of  the  sensor  may  be  deviated  when  assist  control  st arts 
even  if  there  is  a  parked  vehicle  in  the  target  parking  spot.  H ave  the 
vehicle inspected at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota a uthorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
• Do not install any accessories within the sensor detection ran ge.

7447-2. Steps to take in an emergency
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
If  the hybrid system will not star t
One of the following may be the cause of the problem: 
● The electronic key may not be functioning properly. (P. 746) 
● There may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank. 
Refuel the vehicle. ( P. 125) 
● There may be a malfunction in the immobilizer system. (P.   1 3 0 ) 
● There may be a malfunction in the steering lock system. 
● The hybrid system may be malfunctioning due to an electrical prob- 
lem such as electronic key battery depletion or a blown fuse. H ow- 
ever,  depending  on  the  type  of  malfunction,  an  interim  measure  is 
available to start the hybrid system. ( P. 745) 
One of the following may be the cause of the problem: 
● The 12-volt battery may be discharged. (P. 749) 
● The 12-volt battery terminal connections may be loose or corroded.  
( P. 606)
Reasons  for  the  hybrid  system  not  starting  vary  depending  on 
the  situation.  Check  the  following  and  perform  the  appropriate 
procedure: 
The hybrid system will not start even though the correct starti ng 
procedure is being followed. ( P. 305)
The  interior  lights  and  headlights  are  dim,  or  the  horn  does  not 
sound or sounds at a low volume.

When trouble arises
One of the following may be the cause of the problem: 
● The 12-volt battery may be discharged. (P. 749) 
● One or both of the 12-volt battery terminals may be disconnected.  
( P. 606)
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any 
reliable  repairer  if  the  problem  cannot  be  repaired,  or  if  repa ir  procedures 
are unknown.
When  the  hybrid  system  does  not  start,  the  following  steps  can  be 
used  as  an  interim  measure  to  start  the  hybrid  system  if  the  po wer 
switch is functioning normally.  
Do not use this starting procedure except in cases of emergency . 
Set the parking brake. 
Shift the shift lever to P. 
Turn the power switch to ACCESSORY mode. 
Press  and  hold  the  power  switch  for  about  15  seconds  while 
depressing the brake pedal firmly. 
Even  if  the  hybrid  system  can  be  started  using  the  above  steps,  the 
system  may  be  malfunctioning.  Have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  any 
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or an y reliable 
repairer.
The  interior  lights  and  headlights  do  not  turn  on,  or  the  horn 
does not sound.
