Good Day,
Creating this thread dedicated to Hybrid Fielders and Axios. The intention is to make it a one stop spot for all the hybrid Fielder and Axio information.
Basic Information:
[2013] Toyota has launched the Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder hybrids in Japan.
On the styling front, the eco-friendly models are distinguished by a new grille, "Synergy Blue" emblems There's also a 4.2-inch multi-information display and a "nanoe" ionizer that removes pollen by releasing "particle ions embedded in minute water droplets." Both models are powered by a 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine [1NZ FXE] that develops 74 HP (54 kW) and 111 Nm (81 lb-ft) of torque. It is backed up by an electric motor that has a maximum output of 61 HP (45 kW) and 169 Nm (124 lb-ft) of torque. The cars have also been equipped with a noise-reducing windshield and additional sound deadening material.
This enables the model to have a combined output of 100 HP (73 kW) and a fuel economy rating of 3.0 L/100km (77.6 mpg US / 93.2 mpg UK) in the JC08 test cycle.

The ones we get roro are different to the local ones, which were the wider body and different face E170 model
Engine model: 1NZ FXE 1.5L (1496cc) Specs: 74 PS (54 kW)@4800 rpm, 111 N⋅m (82 lb⋅ft)@3600-4400 rpm

The Fielder and Axio carry the same engine and Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive system as the Toyota Aqua (Prius-C) so a lot of resources and information that is applicable to that car is applicable to the Fielder & Axio Hybrid

CVT technology and eCVT technology differ greatly
http://www.winnipegsynthetics.ca/articl ... -ecvt.html
The eCVT found on the Toyota Prius and other hybrids differs from CVTs found in other vehicles, such as the 2013 Nissan Altima or 2012 Scion iQ, because it does not use a belt or chain connected to a pair of variable pulleys. Instead, an eCVT uses electric motor/ generators to control the speeds of planetary gearset components. This allows the eCVT to continuously change the gear ratio, keeping the engine’s rpm in the sweet spot. Just like when driving other CVT-equipped vehicles, drivers of vehicles with eCVTs don’t feel the step change common to traditional automatic transmissions, yet the mechanisms (planetary gears) to achieve acceleration are largely the same.
HOW TO PUT ENGINE IN MAINTENANCE MODE
To keep the engine running continuously without switching to EV, when doing engine work, e.g. coolant flush, oil leak inspection, checking for leaks etc requires that you put the car in Maintenance Mode
Models with key ignition
Turn ignition switch to ON (do not start the engine), instrument panel lights will light up, but should NOT say READY
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and release x 2
Press and hold brake pedal for the rest of procedure
Change shifter P to N
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and release x 2
Change shifter N to P
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and release x 2
Turn ignition switch to START and observe the engine start and run continuously WITHOUT switching to EV
To disengage maintenance mode, just switch off the car - turn the key to the Off position
Models with PUSH START ignition
Press the Start\Stop button twice (don’t depress the brake and start the engine), instrument panel lights will light up, but should NOT say READY
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and release x 2
Press and hold brake pedal for the rest of procedure
Change shifter P to N
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and release x 2
Change shifter N to P
Press the accelerator pedal all the way down and release x 2
TRC OFF Warning light will stay on and the display will show TRC OFF
Turn ignition switch to START and observe the engine start and run continuously WITHOUT switching to EV
To disengage maintenance mode, just switch off the car - push the Start\StopP button
NEVER DRIVE THE CAR WHILE IN MAINTENANCE MODE ! ! ! Toyota has warned that driving the car while the engine is in maintenance mode\continuous run will cause permanent and irreversible inverter damage
NEVER ! ! ! NEVER ! ! !
