CAUTION
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
●Pull your vehicle off the road, put the shift lever in “P”, apply the parking brake, 
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 fluid leak occurs, do not touch it 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 immediately with a large amount of water or if possible, boric 
acid solution. Seek immediate medical attention.
●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.
●If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with the rear wheels raised. If the wheels 
with the electric motor (t raction motor) are on the ground when towing, the 
motor may continue to generate electricit y. This may cause an electricity leakage 
leading to a fire.(
P.  4 2 0 )
■Nickel-metal hydride battery
Your vehicle contains a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery. If disposed of improp-
erly, it is hazardous to the environment and there is a risk of severe burns and elec-
trical shock that may result in death or serious injury.
■Emergency shut off system
●Carefully check to see if there are exposed high voltage parts or cables. Never 
touch the parts or cables. (
P.  5 )  
●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.

Driving position memory system (if equipped)
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver's seat, steering 
wheel and outside rear view mirrors) can be entered into the computer's 
memory and recalled with the touch of a button. It is also possible to set this 
function to activate automatically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory. 
The same buttons are found on the front passenger's side, allowing the 
position of the fr
ont passenger's seat to be memorized.
■Entering a position to memory
Check that the shift lever is set in “P”.
Switch to “IG-ON” mode. 
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering  wheel, and outside r
 ear view 
mirrors to the desired positions. 
While pushing the “SET” button, 
push button
 “1”, “2” or “3” until 
the signal beeps. 
If the selected button has 
already been preset, the previ -
ously recorded position will be
