of the vehicle.
●The smart access system with push-button start can be deactivated in advance.
(→ P. 5 8 4 )
■Alarm
Using the smart access system with push-button start to lock the doors will set the
alarm system. ( →P. 1 0 3 )
■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key when operating the system. Do not get the
electronic key too close to the vehicle when operating the system from the outside
of the vehicle.
Depending on the position and holding condition of the electronic key, the key may
not be detected correctly and the system may not operate properly. (The alarm may
go off accidentally, or the door lock prevention may not operate.)
■If the smart access system with push-button start does not operate properly
●Locking and unlocking the doors, unlocking the trunk: Use the mechanical key.
(→ P. 5 4 4 )
●Starting the hybrid system: →P. 5 4 5
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years. (The card key battery life is about a year
and a half.)
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the hybrid sys-
tem stops. ( →P. 5 2 4 )
●As the electronic key always receives radio waves, the battery will become
depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indicate
that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery when nec-
essary. ( →P. 4 6 7 )
• The smart access system with push-button start or the wireless remote con- trol does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.

2-2. Instrument cluster
HS250h_U_75050U■
Touch tracer display
Only the switch that is being
operated is highlighted, and
thus, the driver can perceive
which button is being operated.
The applicable switch displayed
on the head-up display will
change in response to the
switch operation.
Taking your finger off the steering
switch returns the display to the
vehicle speed indication.
It is possible to turn the touch
tracer display ON/OFF as neces-
sary. (→P. 1 8 9 )
Turn-by-turn navigation
When the vehicle approaches an
intersection, the direction the vehi-
cle should go is guided by the
arrow.
When the vehicle approaches an
intersection, the route guidance
will start and the distance
* to the
intersection will also be displayed.
The animation guidance changes
according to the vehicle conditions
(running or stopped).
*:The distance decreases in incre- ments of 50 yards and the dis-
tance indication will disappear
when the vehicle passes through
the intersection.

HS250h_U_75050U■
Turning off both TRAC and VSC systems

tems off, press and hold the button
for more than 3 seconds while the
vehicle is stopped.

■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC and TRAC
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the hybrid system is
started, just after the vehicle begins to move, if the brake pedal is depressed
forcefully or repeatedly, or 1-2 minutes after the hybrid system is stopped. This
sound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are operat-
ing. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be
heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■Reactivation of the TRAC /VSC systems
Turning off the hybrid system after turning off the TRAC/VSC systems will automat-
ically reactivate them.
■Reactivation of the TRAC system linked to vehicle speed
When only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC system will turn on when vehi-
cle speed increases. However, when both TRAC and VSC systems are turned off,
the systems will not turn on even when vehicle speed increases.
