■

Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel

and the hybrid system cannot be

started, refuel the vehicle with at

least enough gasoline to make the

low fuel level warning light (

go off. If there is only a small

amount of fuel, the hybrid system

may not be able to start. (The stan-

dard amount of fuel is about 2.0 gal.

[7.6 L, 1.7 Imp. gal.] when the vehi-

cle is on a level surface. This value

may vary when the vehicle is on a

slope. Add extra fuel when the vehi-

cle is inclined.)

Hybrid system precautions

Take care when handling the hybrid system, as it is a high
voltage system (about 600 V at maximum) as well as contains
parts that become extremely hot when the hybrid system is
operating. Obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

System components

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

COROLLA HV_U

■

Electromagnetic waves

●

High voltage parts and cables on

hybrid vehicles incorporate elec-

tromagnetic shielding, and there-

fore emit approximately the same

amount of electromagnetic waves

as conventional gasoline pow-

ered vehicles 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 life. The lifes-

pan of the hybrid battery (traction

battery) can change in accordance

with driving style and driving condi-

tions.

■

Starting the hybrid system in an

extremely cold environment

When the hybrid battery (traction

battery) is extremely cold (below

approximately -22°F [-30°C]) under

the influence of the outside tem-

perature, it may not be possible to

start the hybrid system. In this case,

try to start the hybrid system again

after the temperature of the hybrid

battery increases due to the outside

temperature increasing, etc.

WARNING

■

High voltage precautions

This vehicle has high voltage DC

and AC systems as well as a

12-volt system. DC and AC high

voltage is very dangerous and

can cause severe burns and elec-

tric shock that may result in death

or serious injury.

●

Never touch, disassemble,

remove or replace the high volt-

age parts, cables or their con-

nectors.

●

The hybrid system will become

hot after starting as the system

uses high voltage. Be careful of

both the high voltage and the

high temperature, and always

obey the warning labels

attached to the vehicle.

●

Never try to open the service

plug access hole located under

the right side of the rear seat.

The service plug is used only

when the vehicle is serviced

and is subject to high voltage.

■

Road accident cautions

Observe the following precautions

to reduce the risk of death or seri-

ous 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.

●

If a fire occurs in the hybrid

vehicle, leave the vehicle as

soon as possible. Never use a

fire extinguisher that is not

meant for electric fires. Using

even a small amount of water

may be dangerous.

WARNING

●

If your vehicle needs to be

towed, do so with the 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 elec-

tricity. This may cause a fire.

(

P.473)

●

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.

●

Nickel-Metal hydride battery: If

a fluid leak occurs, do not touch

the fluid as it may be strong

alkaline electrolyte from the

hybrid battery (traction battery).

If it comes into contact with your

skin or eyes, wash it off immedi-

ately with a large amount of

water or, if possible, boric acid

solution. Seek immediate medi-

cal attention.

●

Lithium-ion battery: Do not

touch the battery if liquid is leak-

ing from or adhering to it.

If electrolyte (carbonic-based

organic electrolyte) from the

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 into

contact with the eyes or skin,

wash it off immediately with a

large amount of water, and seek

immediate medical attention.

●

Lithium-ion battery: If electrolyte

is leaking from the hybrid bat-

tery (traction battery), do not

approach the vehicle.

Even in the unlikely event that

the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) is damaged, the internal

construction of the battery will

prevent a large amount of elec-

trolyte from leaking out. How-

ever, any electrolyte that does

leak out will give off a vapor.

This vapor is an irritant to skin

and eyes and could cause acute

poisoning if inhaled.

●

Lithium-ion battery: Do not bring

burning or high-temperature

items close to the electrolyte.

The electrolyte may ignite and

cause a fire.

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery)

●

Lithium-ion battery: Your vehicle

contains a sealed lithium-ion

battery.

●

Never resell, hand over or mod-

ify the hybrid battery. To prevent

accidents, hybrid batteries that

have been removed from a dis-

posed vehicle are collected

through Toyota dealer. Do not

dispose of the battery yourself.

Unless the battery is properly col-

lected, the following may occur,

resulting in death or serious

injury:
• The hybrid battery may be ille-

gally disposed of or dumped,

and it is hazardous to the envi-

ronment or someone may touch

a high voltage part, resulting in

an electric shock.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1-4. Hybrid system

COROLLA HV_U

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, the
hybrid battery may overheat,
charging/discharging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
may become limited.

WARNING

• The hybrid battery is intended to

be used exclusively with your

hybrid vehicle. If the hybrid bat-

tery is used outside of your

vehicle or modified in any way,

accidents such as electric

shock, heat generation, smoke

generation, an explosion and

electrolyte leakage may occur.

When reselling or handing over

your vehicle, the possibility of an

accident is extremely high

because the person receiving the

vehicle may not be aware of these

dangers.

●

If your vehicle is disposed of

without the hybrid battery hav-

ing been removed, there is a

danger of serious electric shock

if high voltage parts, cables and

their connectors are touched. In

the event that your vehicle must

be disposed of, the hybrid bat-

tery must be disposed of by

your Toyota dealer or a qualified

service shop. If the hybrid bat-

tery is not disposed of properly,

it may cause electric shock that

can result in death or serious

injury.

NOTICE

■

Hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery) air intake vent

Do not carry large amounts of

water such as water cooler bottles

in the vehicle. If water spills onto

the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery), the battery may be dam-

aged. Have the vehicle inspected

onto an aircraft, make sure you do

not press any buttons on the elec-

tronic key while inside the aircraft

cabin. If you are carrying an elec-

tronic key in your bag, etc., ensure

that the buttons are not likely to be

●

As the electronic key always

receives radio waves, the battery

will become depleted even if the

electronic key is not used. The fol-

lowing symptoms indicate that the

electronic key battery may be

depleted. Replace the battery

when necessary. (

Trunk

The trunk can be opened
using the trunk opener,
entry function or wireless
remote control.

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the trunk lid is

fully closed. If the trunk lid is not

fully closed, it may open unex-

pectedly while driving and hit

near-by objects or luggage in

the trunk may be thrown out,

causing an accident.

●

Do not allow children to play in

the trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked

in the trunk, they could suffer

from heat exhaustion, suffoca-

tion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or

close the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk

lid to open unexpectedly, or

cause the child’s hands, head,

or neck to be caught by the

closing trunk lid.

■

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk.

In the event of sudden braking or

a collision, they are susceptible to

death or serious injury.

■

Using the trunk

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause parts

of the body to be caught, resulting

in serious injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the trunk

lid before opening it. Failure to

do so may cause the trunk lid to

suddenly shut again after it is

opened.

●

When opening or closing the

trunk lid, thoroughly check to

make sure the surrounding area

is safe.

●

If anyone is in the vicinity, make

sure they are safe and let them

know that the trunk is about to

open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the trunk lid in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The trunk lid may suddenly shut

if it is not opened fully. It is more

difficult to open or close the

trunk lid on an incline than on a

level surface, so beware of the

trunk lid unexpectedly opening

or closing by itself. Make sure

that the trunk lid is fully open

and secure before using the

trunk.

●

When closing the trunk lid, take

extra care to prevent your fin-

gers etc. from being caught.

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is

within the effective range (detec-

tion areas), the system may not

operate properly in the following

cases:

• The electronic key is too close to

the window or outside door han-

dle, near the ground, or in a high

place when the doors are locked

or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the

ground or in a high place, or too

close to the center of the rear

bumper when the trunk is opened.

• The electronic key is on the instru-

ment panel, rear package tray or

floor, or in the door pockets or

glove box when the hybrid system

is started or power switch modes

are changed.

●

Do not leave the electronic key on

top of the instrument panel or near

the door pockets when exiting the

vehicle. Depending on the radio

wave reception conditions, it may

be detected by the antenna out-

side the cabin and the door will

become lockable from the outside,

possibly trapping the electronic

key inside the vehicle.

●

As long as the electronic key is

within the effective range, the

doors may be locked or unlocked

by anyone. However, only the

doors detecting the electronic key

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not

inside the vehicle, it may be possi-

ble to start the hybrid system if the

electronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may unlock or lock if a

large amount of water splashes on

the door handle, such as in the

rain or in a car wash when the

electronic key is within the effec-

tive range. (The doors will auto-

matically be locked after

approximately 60 seconds if the

doors are not opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is

used to lock the doors when the

electronic key is near the vehicle,

there is a possibility that the door

may not be unlocked by the entry

function. (Use the wireless remote

control to unlock the doors.)

●

If the doors have been locked

from outside of the vehicle and are

then not unlocked using the wire-

less remote control or smart key

system, the hybrid system cannot

be started using the smart key

system. (However, if the doors

have been locked from inside the

vehicle, the hybrid system can be

started using the smart key sys-

tem.)

If it is necessary to start the hybrid

system, it can be started using the

procedure in “If the electronic key

dose not operate properly”

(



P.512).

●

Touching the door lock or unlock

sensor while wearing gloves may

prevent lock or unlock operation.

●

When the lock operation is per-

formed using the lock sensor, rec-

ognition signals will be shown up

to two consecutive times. After

this, no recognition signals will be

given.

●

If the door handle becomes wet

while the electronic key is within

the effective range, the door may

lock and unlock repeatedly. In that

case, follow the following correc-

tion procedures to wash the vehi-

cle:

• Place the electronic key in a loca-

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from

the vehicle. (Take care to ensure

that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the

smart key system. (

To operate the system properly

●

Make sure to carry the electronic

key when operating the system.

Do not get the electronic key too

close to the vehicle when operat-

ing the system from the outside of

the vehicle.

Depending on the position and hold-

ing condition of the electronic key,

the key may not be detected cor-

rectly and the system may not oper-

ate properly. (The alarm may go off

accidentally, or the door lock pre-

vention function may not operate.)

●

Do not leave the electronic key

inside the trunk.

The key confinement prevention

function may not operate, depend-

ing on the location of the key (the

inside edge of the trunk), condi-

tions (inside a metal bag, close to

metallic objects) and the radio

waves in the surrounding area.
