For yo ur information
Main Owner’s Manual
Please note that this manual
applies to all models and
explains all equipment, including
options. Therefore, you may find
some explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this
manual are current at the time of
printing. However, because of
the Toyota policy of continual
product improvement, we
reserve the right to make
changes at any time without
notice.
Depending on specifications,
the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
Noise from under vehicle
after turning off the hybrid
system
Accessories, spare parts
and modification of your
Toyota
A wide variety of non-genuine
spare parts and accessories for
Toyota vehicles are currently
available in the market. You
should know that Toyota does
not warrant these products and
is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement, or for any damage they
may cause to, or adverse effect
they may have on, your Toyota
vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Toyota
products. Modification with
non-genuine Toyota products
could affect its performance,
safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or
performance problems resulting
from the modification may not
be covered under warranty.
Approximately five hours after
the hybrid system is turned off,
you may hear sound coming
from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound
of a fuel evaporation leakage
check and, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
COROLLA HV_U
Installation of a mobile
two-way radio system
The installation of a mobile
two-way radio system in your
vehicle could affect electronic
systems such as:
Multiport fuel injection sys-
tem/sequential multiport fuel
injection system
Toyota Safety Sense 2.0
7
Anti-lock brake system
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions
regarding installation of a mobile
two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables
on the hybrid vehicles emit
approximately the same amount
of electromagnetic waves as the
conventional gasoline powered
vehicles or home electronic
appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in
the reception of the mobile
two-way radio.
Vehicle data recording
The vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that will
record certain data, such as:
The recorded data varies
according to the vehicle grade
level and options with which it is
equipped.
These computers do not record
conversations or sounds, and
only record images outside of
the vehicle in certain situations.
• Engine speed/Electric motor
speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving
assist systems, such as the
ABS and pre-collision system
• Images from the front camera
(available only when certain
safety systems are activated,
which varies depending on
the vehicle specifications).
Data Transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data
recorded in these computers to
Toyota without notification to you.
Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded
in this computer to diagnose malfunctions, conduct research and
development, and improve quality.
Toyota will not disclose the
recorded data to a third party
except:
• With the consent of the vehicle
owner or with the consent of the
lessee if the vehicle is leased
• In response to an official request
by the police, a court of law or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
• For research purposes where the
data is not tied to a specific vehicle or vehicle owner
Recorded image information
can be erased by your Toyota
dealer.
The image recording function can
be disabled. However, if the function is disabled, data from when the
pre-collision system operates will
not be available.

cle data collected, used and
shared by Toyota, please visit
www.toyota.com/privacyvts/
.
Usage of data collected
through Safety Connect
(U.S. mainland only)
If your Toyota has Safety Connect and if you have subscribed
to those services, please refer to
the Safety Connect Telematics
Subscription Service Agreement
for information on data collected
and its usage.
To learn more about the vehicle
data collected, used and shared
by Toyota, please visit
www.toyota.com/privacyvts/
.
Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an
event data recorder (EDR). The
main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an
air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed.
The EDR is designed to record
data related to vehicle dynamics
and safety systems for a short
period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data
as:
• How various systems in your
vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver
was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a
better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded
by your vehicle only if a nontrivial crash situation occurs; no
data are recorded by the EDR
under normal driving conditions
and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the
EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an
EDR, special equipment is
required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In
addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law
enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the
information if they have access
to the vehicle or the EDR.
Disclosure of the EDR data
COROLLA HV_U
9
WARNING
Toyota will not disclose the data
recorded in an EDR to a third party
except when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s
owner (or the lessee for a leased
vehicle) is obtained
• In response to an official request
by the police, a court of law or a
government agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on
vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party
for research purposes without
disclosing information about the
specific vehicle or vehicle owner
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt
pretensioner devices in your
Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped
with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are,
this may cause an accident such
as fire. Be sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and
disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Toyota
dealer before you scrap your
vehicle.
Your vehicle has components
that may contain perchlorate.
These components may include
the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, wireless remote control
batteries, and the batteries in
the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitters.
■ General precautions while
driving
Driving under the influence: Never
drive your vehicle when under the
influence of alcohol or drugs that
have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time,
impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an
accident that could result in death
or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive
defensively. Anticipate mistakes
that other drivers or pedestrians
might make and be ready to avoid
accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give
your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such
as adjusting controls, talking on a
cellular phone or reading can
result in a collision with resulting
death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
COROLLA HV_U

WARNING
■ General precaution regarding
children’s safety
Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle, and never allow
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the
vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral. There is also a danger
that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows, or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up
or extremely cold temperatures
inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

WARNING
1-1.For safe use
1-1. For safe use
Before driving
Observe the following
before starting off in the
vehicle to ensure safety of
driving.
Floor mat
Use only floor mats designed
specifically for vehicles of the
same model and model year as
your vehicle. Fix them securely
in place onto the carpet.
1 Insert the retaining hooks
(clips) into the floor mat eyelets.
The shape of the retaining hooks
(clips) may differ from that shown in
the illustration.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the

Seat belts
Make sure that all occupants are wearing their seat
belts before driving the
vehicle.
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of injury in the
event of sudden braking, sudden
swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
■ Wearing a seat belt
● Ensure that all passengers wear
a seat belt.
● Always wear a seat belt prop-
erly.
● Each seat belt should be used
by one person only. Do not use
a seat belt for more than one
person at once, including children.
● Toyota recommends that chil-
dren be seated in the rear seat
and always use a seat belt
and/or an appropriate child
restraint system.
● To achieve a proper seating
position, do not recline the seat
more than necessary. The seat
belt is most effective when the
occupants are sitting up straight
and well back in the seats.
● Do not wear the shoulder belt
under your arm.
■ Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear
the seat belt in the proper way.
(
P. 2 8)
Women who are pregnant should
position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips in the same
manner as other occupants,
extending the shoulder belt completely over the shoulder and
avoiding belt contact with the
rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not only the pregnant
woman, but also the fetus could
suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.
■ People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear

periodically. Check for cuts,
fraying, and loose parts. Do not
use a damaged seat belt until it
is replaced. Damaged seat belts
cannot protect an occupant
from death or serious injury.
Position the lap belt as low as
possible over the hips.
Adjust the position of the
seatback. Sit up straight and
well back in the seat.
Do not twist the seat belt.
● Ensure that the belt and plate
are locked and the belt is not
twisted.
If the seat belt does not function
correctly, immediately contact
your Toyota dealer.
● Replace the seat assembly,
including the belts, if your vehicle has been involved in a serious accident, even if there is no
obvious damage.
● Do not attempt to install,
remove, modify, disassemble or
dispose of the seat belts. Have
any necessary repairs carried
out by your Toyota dealer. Inappropriate handling may lead to
incorrect operation.
Correct use of the seat
belts
■ Child seat belt usage
The seat belts of your vehicle were
principally designed for persons of
adult size.
● Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (P. 4 7 )
● When the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, follow the instructions regarding seat belt usage.
(P. 2 7 )
■ Seat belt extender
If your seat belts cannot be fastened
securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota dealer free of charge.
Extend the shoulder belt so
that it comes fully over the
shoulder, but does not come
into contact with the neck or
slide off the shoulder.

or at a different seating position
other than the one originally
intended.
■ When using a seat belt
extender
When releasing the seat belt,
press on the buckle release button on the extender, not on the

This helps prevent damage to the
vehicle interior and the extender
itself.
1-1. For safe use
■ Emergency locking retractor
(ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during
a sudden stop or on impact. It may
also lock if you lean forward too
quickly. A slow, easy motion will
allow the belt to extend so that you
can move around fully.
■ Automatic locking retractor
(ALR)
When a passenger’s shoulder belt is
completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is
locked in that position and cannot
be extended. This feature is used to
hold the child restraint system
(CRS) firmly. To free the belt again,
fully retract the belt and then pull the
belt out once more. (P. 47 )
■ Rear seat belt
Use the seat belt after passing it
through the guide if the seat belt
comes free from the guide.

rear impact.
■ Replacing the belt after the pre-
tensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple
collisions, the pretensioner will activate for the first collision, but will not
activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
■ Seat belt pretensioners
● Do not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passenger’s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’s
weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger’s weight properly. As a
result, the seat belt pretensioner
for the front passenger’s seat
may not activate in the event of
a collision.
● If the pretensioner has acti-
vated, the SRS warning light will
come on. In that case, the seat
belt cannot be used again and
must be replaced at your Toyota
dealer.
The pretensioners help the seat
belts to quickly restrain the
occupants by retracting the seat
belts when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe
frontal or side collision or a vehicle rollover.
The pretensioners do not activate
