occurs in the electric motor or hybrid system.

warning light blinks while driving. the engine will not automatically start to charge the Li-ion
battery while the vehicle is coasting.

do not store your InFInItI Intelligent k ey™ within detection range of the vehicle. this may
cause welcome lights and other functions to activate creating unwanted battery drain.

the hybrid system is designed for optimum efficiency and performance. the electric mode
may vary with driving conditions and driver input. A full battery display does not indicate the
vehicle should be in the electric mode.
