WARNING
■For your safety 
● Please drive safely.  
The function of this system is to assist you in making the Emer gency Call 
in case of accidents such as traffic accidents or sudden medica l emergen- 
cies,  and  it  does  not  protect  the  driver  or  passengers  in  any  w ay.  Please 
drive safely and fasten your seatbelts at all times for your sa fety. 
● In case of an emergency, make lives the top priority. 
● If  you  smell  anything  burning  or  other  unusual  smells,  leave  the  vehicle 
and evacuate to a safe area immediately. 
● If  the  airbags  deploy  when  the  system  is  operating  normally,  the  system 
makes  emergency call. The  system also  makes emergency call when  the 
vehicle  is  struck  from  the  rear  or  rolls  over,  even  if  the  airb ags  do  not 
deploy. 
● For safety, do not make the Emergency Call while driving.  
Making calls during driving may cause mishandling of the steeri ng  wheel, 
which may lead to unexpected accidents.  
Stop  the vehicle  and confirm the  safety of  your surroundings  be fore  mak- 
ing the Emergency Call. 
● When  changing  fuses,  please  use  the  specified  fuses.  Using  other  fuses 
may cause ignition or smoke in the circuit and lead to a fire. 
● Using  the  system  while  there  is  smoke  or  an  unusual  smell  may  cause  a 
fire. Stop using the system immediately and consult any authori zed Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r.

NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery discharge 
● Do not leave the power switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long peri- 
ods of time without the hybrid system on. 
● If “ACCESSORY” or “IGNITION ON” is displayed on the multi-information 
display  while  the  hybrid  system  is  not  operating,  the  power  swi tch  is  not 
off. Exit the vehicle after turning the power switch off. 
● Do  not  stop  the  hybrid  system  when  the  shift  lever  is  in  a  position  other 
than  P.  If  the  hybrid  system  is  stopped  in  another  shift  lever  position,  the 
power switch will not be turned off but instead be  turned to AC CESSORY 
mode.  If  the  vehicle  is  left  in  ACCESSORY  mode,  12-volt  battery  dis- 
charge may occur. 
■ When starting the hybrid system 
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have your vehi cle checked by 
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota  authorized repairer, o r any reliable 
repairer immediately. 
■ Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the power switch 
If the power switch seems to be operating somewhat differently  than usual, 
such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunctio n. Contact any 
authorized  Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota  authorized  repairer,  or  an y  reliable 
repairer immediately. 

3514-4. Refueling

Driving
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle 
Observe  the following precautions while refueling  the  vehicle.  Failure to  do 
so may result in death or serious injury. 
● After  exiting  the  vehicle  and  before  opening  the  fuel  door,  touch  an 
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It  is important to 
discharge  static  electricity  before  refueling  because  sparks  re sulting  from 
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refuel ing. 
● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.  
A  whooshing  sound  may  be  heard  when  the  fuel  tank  cap  is  loosen ed. 
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the  cap. In hot 
weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and  cause injury. 
● Do  not  allow  anyone  that  has  not  discharged  static  electricity from  their 
body to come close to an open fuel tank. 
● Do not inhale vaporized fuel. 
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled. 
● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle. 
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire. 
● Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically 
charged. 
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a p ossible ignition 
hazard. 
■ When refueling 
Observe  the  following precautions  to  prevent fuel  overflowing f rom the  fuel 
tank: 
● Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck. 
● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off. 
● Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling 
Do not spill fuel during refueling.  
Doing  so  may  damage  the  vehicle,  such  as  causing  the  emission  c ontrol 
system to operate abnormally, or damaging fuel system component s, or the 
vehicle’s painted surface.

( P. 632)
• Tire pressure gauge
• Compressed air source
Washer fluid  
( P.   6 1 1 )
• Water  or  washer  fluid  containing  antifreeze  (for  win- 
ter use)
• Funnel (used only for adding water or washer fluid)
WARNING
The  engine  compartment  contains  many  mechanisms  and  fluids  that  may 
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To  avoid death 
or serious injury, observe  the following precautions. 
■ When working on the engine compartment 
● Make  sure  that  the  “ACCESSORY”  or  “IGNITION  ON”  on  the  multi-infor- 
mation display and the “READY” indicator are both off. 
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fan. 
● Be  careful  not  to  touch  the  engine,  power  control  unit,  radiator,  exhaust 
manifold,  etc.,  right  after  driving  as  they  may  be  hot.  Oil  and  other fluids 
may also be hot. 
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the 
engine compartment. 
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to fuel or the 12-volt 
battery. Fuel and 12-volt battery fumes are flammable. 
● Be extremely cautious when working on the 12-volt battery. It contains poi- 
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid. 
● Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage 
painted  surfaces.  If  fluid  gets  on  your  hands  or  in  your  eyes,  flush  the 
affected area with clean water immediately. If you still experi ence discom- 
fort, consult a doctor. 
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille 
Be sure the power switch is off. 
With the power switch in ON mode, the electric cooling fans may  automati- 
cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coo lant temperature 
is high. ( P. 606) 
■ Safety glasses 
Wear  safety  glasses  to  prevent  flying  or  falling  material,  flui d  spray,  etc., 
from getting in your eyes.
