2 2-1. Plug-in hybrid system
Plug-in hybrid system
to EV mode or AUTO EV/HV
mode after leaving the freeway.
(P.86)
Turn the “A/C” switch off when it
is not needed. Doing so can help
reduce excessive electricity and
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the
burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce electricity and fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excessive and unnec-
essary use of the heater. Usage of the
heated steering wheel (if equipped)
(P.462) and seat heaters (P.463)
are effective.
Using the Remote Air Condition-
ing System (P.460) while the
AC charging cable is connected
to the vehicle can reduce elec-
tricity consumption immediately
after starting off by operating air
conditioning mainly using elec-
tricity from an external power
source.
When setting the charging
schedule, setting the charging
mode to “Departure” and “Cli-
mate Prep” to on can reduce
electricity consumption immedi-
ately after starting off by operat-
ing air conditioning before
charging is completed. (P.144)Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. If there is
improper tire inflation pressure in
the tires, the EV driving range will
become shorter, and fuel consump-
tion when in HV mode will increase.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to increased fuel
and electricity consumption.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a
large roof rack will also cause poor
fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up
and cuts out automatically, warm-
ing up is not necessary.

■When starting off, depress the
accelerator pedal smoothly to
accelerate
As a guide, accelerate up to
approximately 20 km/h (12mph) in
the first 5 seconds.
Electrical and fuel efficiency can be
improved just by using the ECO
Accelerator Guidance displayed on
the multi-information display and
taking care to start off gently.
(P.182)
When the driving mode is set to Eco
drive mode, depressing the accelerator
pedal generates smooth torque that
makes it easier to operate the accelera-
tor gently.
■Maintain sufficient vehicle-to-
vehicle distance and do not
accelerate or decelerate
unnecessarily
Try to maintain a fixed speed while
driving. Driving at a short vehicle-
to-vehicle distance will result in
repeating wasteful acceleration and
deceleration, which will worsen the
electrical and fuel efficiency.
■Release the accelerator pedal
early before stopping the vehi-
cle, such as at a traffic light
The regenerative brake will operate
to convert the kinetic energy of the
vehicle into electrical energy, which
will charge the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
The regeneration status can be
checked from the Hybrid System
Indicator. (P.177)When the brake pedal is depressed
lightly during deceleration, the
regeneration amount increases,
enabling more electrical energy to
be recovered.
If the brake pedal is depressed too
strongly, the recovered amount indica-
tor will reach the maximum level and
the upper limit of the recoverable
energy will be exceeded. Therefore, be
sure to operate the brake pedal early.
■Use the air conditioning sys-
tem appropriately, and also
utilize the heated steering
wheel (if equipped) and seat
heaters
In EV mode, the vehicle is cooled
and heated by electrical energy.
(Except in extremely cold tempera-
tures of approximately -10°C (14°F)
or less.)
Preventing excessive cooling or
heating of the vehicle will reduce
power consumption and improve
electrical efficiency.
The heated steering wheel (if
equipped) and seat heaters are effi-
cient heating device that directly
warm the body using less electric
power.
When used together with the air condi-
tioning system, a low temperature set-
ting can be used to improve electrical
and fuel efficiency.
■Check the tire pressure
If the tire pressure is lower than the
specified value, it will worsen the
electrical and fuel efficiency.

1542-2. Charging
■When a door is unlocked while
using “My Room Mode”
The charging connector unlocks,
charging stops and “My Room Mode”
stops. In order to use “My Room Mode”
again, reconnect the AC charging cable
and start “My Room Mode” (P.153).
When using “My Room Mode” with pub-
lic charging station, operation to start
charging using the charger may be
required again before starting “My Room
Mode”.
■Meter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on for
approximately 100 seconds after the
power switch is turned on during
charging, the power switch will automat-
ically turn off.
■While using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
●When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air condi-
tioning system automatically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room
Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
restored.
●When the outside temperature is low,
the heater output may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera-
tion being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such as
electric power steering system warn-
ing light (yellow) and malfunction indi-
cator lamp may turn on, but this is not
a malfunction.
Also, when the surrounding area is
dark, the headlights are turned on.
(P.332)
■When a charging schedule is regis-
tered
When “My Room Mode” starts while the
charging schedule is on standby, charging schedules are ignored and
charging starts.
■When “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged and the charging con-
nector that supplies power is connected,
“Charging Port Lid is Open” is displayed
on the multi-information display. In this
case, press of the meter control
switches to display the setting screen of
“My Room Mode”, and then select “My
Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used while
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
fully charged, the electric power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) may be
consumed. In this case, charging may
be performed again.
■When a message related to “My
Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on the
multi-information display while using or
attempting to start “My Room Mode”,
take the following correction proce-
dures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My
Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining charge in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) for
starting “My Room Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases, then
start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped due to
low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is insufficient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when trac-
tion battery is too low Reduce power
usage to continue using “My Room

Warning lights inform the driver of
malfunctions in the indicated vehi-
cle’s systems.
*1: These lights turn on when the power
switch is turned to ON to indicate
that a system check is being per-
formed. They will turn off after the
hybrid system is on, or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunc-
tion in a system if the light does not
come on, or turn off. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by any authorized

WARNING
■Caution for use while driving
For safety, avoid operating the meter control switch while driving as much
as possible, and do not look continu- ously at the multi-information display while driving. Stop the vehicle and
operate the meter control switch. Fail- ure to do so may cause a steering wheel operation error, resulting in an
unexpected accident.
