For safety and security
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
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. 683) 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. 672)
● 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.

cate that a system check is being performed. They will turn off after the
hybrid system is on, or after a few seconds. There may be a mal function in
a system if a light does not come on, or if the lights do not t urn off. Have
the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyo ta autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

■ 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. 755)
