●“ECO” mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and
improve fuel economy through moderate throttle characteristics
and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning system
(heating/cooling).
When Eco mode is selected, the “ECO MODE” indicator will illumi -
nate on the multi-information display.
While the air conditioning is being used, the system automatica lly
switches to air conditioning eco mode ( P. 552), allowing for driving
that leads to even better fuel economy.
■ When canceling “ECO” mode/ “SPORT” mode
● Select the drive mode again. Also, “SPORT” mode will be canceled auto-
matically when the power switch is turned off.
● However, “NORMAL” mode and “ECO” mode will not be canceled automati-
cally until another drive mode is selected, even if the power s witch is turned
off.

MessageSituation/Handling method
“IPA System Check Visit
Your Dealer”
The system may be malfunctioning.
 Turn the power switch off and then start
the hybrid system.
Have the vehicle inspected by any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer if the message is displayed
again.
“Currently Unavailable”
There may be a system failure.
Power steering equipment is temporarily
overheating.
 Turn the power switch off, wait for a lit-
tle while, and then start the hybrid sys-
tem again.
The hybrid system is not operating.
 Start the hybrid system.
Ice, snow, dirt, etc., has adhered to a sensor.
 Remove any ice, snow, dirt, etc.
The sensor is frozen.
 Once the sensor thaws, the system will
return to normal.
The 12-volt battery has been removed and
reinstalled.
 Drive the vehicle straight ahead for 5
seconds or more at a speed of approxi-
mately 35 km/h (22 mph) or higher.

■ Active Cornering Assist operation sounds and vibrations
When the Active Cornering Assi st is operated, operation sounds and vibra-
tions may be generated from the brake system, but this is not a malfunction.
■ EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring so und) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC systems
After turning the TRC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC systems off , the sys-
tems will be automatically re- enabled in the following situations:
● When the power switch is turned off
● If only the TRC system is turned off, the TRC will turn on when vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-en abling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ Operating conditions of Active Cornering Assist
The system operates when the following occurs:
● TRC/VSC can operate
● The driver is attempting to accelerate while turning
● The system detects that the vehicle is drifting to the outer side
● The brake pedal is released
■ Reduced effectiveness of the EPS system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the s ystem from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an exten ded period of
time. The steering wheel may feel heavy as a result. Should thi s occur, refrain
from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the hybrid system
off. The EPS system should return to normal within 10 minutes.
■ Operating conditions of hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are met, the hill-start assi st control will
operate:
● The shift lever is in a position other than P or N (when starting off forward/
backward on an upward incline)
● The vehicle is stopped
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed
● The parking brake is not engaged

5384-6. Driving tips
C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
Hybrid Electric Vehicle driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the acce l-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improv ing
the fuel economy. ( P. 4 3 0 )
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid Syst em
Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 166)
◆Shift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic, etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. Wh en
using the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. I n the
N, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gener -
ated. Also, when using the air conditioning system, etc., the h ybrid
battery (traction battery) power is consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
● Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) witho ut
having to use gasoline engine power.
● Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol -
lowing points:

Heated steering wheel/seat heaters
: If equipped
Heated steering wheel and seat heaters heat the side grips of the
steering wheel and front seats, respectively.
WARNING
● Care should be taken to prevent injury if anyone in the following categories
comes in contact with the steering wheel and seats when the hea ter is on:
• Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physical ly chal-
lenged
• Persons with sensitive skin
• Persons who are fatigued
• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sle eping
drugs, cold remedies, etc.)
● Observe the following precautions to prevent minor burns or overheating:
• Do not cover the seat with a blanket or cushion when using the seat
heater.
• Do not use seat heater more than necessary.
NOTICE
● Do not put heavy objects that have an uneven surface on the seat and do
not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
● To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, do not use the functions when the
hybrid system is off.

When trouble arises
If your vehicle overheats
●The needle of the engine coolant temperature gauge (P. 1 6 4 )
enters the red zone or a loss of hybrid system power is experi-
enced. (For example, the vehicle speed does not increase.)
● “Hybrid System Overheated Reduced Output Power.” is shown on
the multi-information display.
● Steam comes out from under the hood.
■If the high coolant temperature warning light comes on
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condition ing
system, and then stop the hybrid system.
If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
After the hybrid system has cooled down sufficiently, inspect t he
hoses and radiator core (radiator) for any leaks.
Radiator
Cooling fans
If a large amount of coolant leaks, immediately contact any aut ho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any rel iable
repairer.
The following may indicate that your vehicle is overheating.
