Toyota Corolla 2023 User Guide
The history of the Corolla is an object lesson in Toyota’s kaizen principle – the commitment to continuous improvement. That’s how Corolla has remained a core model in the company’s
global line-up and the world’s best-selling nameplate. Corolla has evolved over more than half a century, keeping pace with changing customer tastes and preferences and embracing new technologies for safety, comfort, convenience and connection.
The new Corolla, a development of the current 12th generation range, is faithful to this spirit of innovation and Toyota’s commitment to building ever-better cars. Its status as one of Europe’s best-sellers in the C-segment for compact/mid-size models is strengthened with the introduction of Toyotas’ fifth generation hybrid electric technology – 1.8 and 2.0-litre
electrified powertrains that offer more power and a more rewarding drive, yet with improved efficiency.
The new models are equipped as standard with the latest Toyota Smart Connect+ multimedia system, with faster response and greater functionality, plus a fully digital, customizable 12.3-inch combimeter in the driver’s instrument binnacle.
There are also major advances in the Toyota Safety Sense active safety and driver assistance systems, with new and enhanced features that recognize and help the driver
avoid a wider range of everyday driving hazards. Safety and multimedia functions are futureproofed, with software updates deliverable over the air via the car’s data communications module.
These significant changes go hand-in-hand with refreshed exterior and interior styling details, including new wheel designs, headlights, color options and upholsteries. European Corolla Hatchback and Touring Sports models continue to be built by Toyota Manufacturing UK (TMUK) at its Burnaston plant. Toyota recently announced it is investing around £465,000 in TMUK’s engine factory in Deeside, North Wales, for the production of the 1.8-litre hybrid engine for the fifth-generation hybrid system featured in new Corolla.

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.
Also, remodeling like this will have an effect on advanced safety equipment such as Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 and there is a danger that it will not work properly or danger that it may work in situations where it should not be working.
Cyber Attack Risk
Installing electronic devices and radios increases the risk of cyber-attacks through the installed parts, which may lead to unexpected accidents and leakage of personal information. Toyota does not make any guarantees for problems caused by installing non-genuine Toyota products.

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.
