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, le ave 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 8 )
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery air vent
●Do not put foreign objects over the air vent. The hybrid battery (traction battery)
may overheat and be damaged.
●Clean the air vent regularly to prevent th e hybrid battery (traction battery) from
overheating.
●Do not wet the air vent. It may cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery).
●Do not load a large amount of water such as an aquarium into the vehicle. If water
spills over the hybrid battery (tractio n battery), the battery may be damaged.

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 front 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 rear 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
overwritten.
