and then shift the shift lever to D.
Release the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator
pedal.
Release the parking brake.

Driving in the rain
Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

The hybrid battery (traction battery) is low.
• When the low traction battery indicator light came on.
• When the amount of remaining hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
displayed on the “touch screen” is low. (P. 58)
Vehicle speed is high.
The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill etc.
The windshield defogger is in use.
Automatic cancelation of EV drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the gasoline engine may automatically
restart in the following situations. When EV drive mode is canceled, a buzzer
will sound and the EV drive mode indicator will flash and go off.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low. (P. 58, 564)
Vehicle speed becomes high.
The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill etc.
Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
In EV drive mode, it is possible to drive up to about 2 km (1.3 miles) if driving
at a speed of about 45 km/h (28 mph) or less.
(The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery]
level and driving conditions.)
Fuel economy
Your vehicle is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during
normal driving (using the gasoline engine and electric motor [traction
motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
CAUTION
Caution while driving
When driving in EV drive mode, pay special attention to the area around the
vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicy-
cles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle
starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving.

Changing gear steps in 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode
Shift the shift lever to the M position and operate the shift lever or
paddle shift switch.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear step changes once
every time the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switch is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display.
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be auto-
matically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
Gear step functions
You can choose from 7 levels of engine braking force.
A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than
a higher gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.

The gear step changes once
every time the paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display
Gear step functions
