outside mirrors
E00601101738
The outside mirror can be folded in towards the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
CAUTIONl Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-
vided by the mirror could lead to an acci- dent.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror re- tractor switch
With the operation mode in ON or ACC,push the mirror retractor switch to retract the
mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions.
After placing the operation mode in OFF, it is
possible to retract and extend the mirrors us-
ing the mirror retractor switch for about 30
seconds.CAUTIONl It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again,
not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.NOTEl Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.NOTEl If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not beable to return it to its original position using
the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir- ror motor circuits.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors without using the mir- ror retractor switch
The mirrors automatically retract or extendwhen the doors are locked or unlocked using the remote control switches or the keyless op-eration function of the keyless operation sys-
tem.
Refer to “Keyless operation system: To oper-
ate using the key-less operation function, Keyless entry system” on page 4-09.

4-wheel drive operation
E007606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv- ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have
limits to the system and ability to main- tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
l Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident or
rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.
4-wheel drive operation
7-19OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

lCheck the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no
wear differences. Using tyres of different size, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys- tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec-
ted to excessive loading possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-ous faults.
Towing
CAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing. If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicle
WARNINGl Do not turn on the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System or turn a jacked-up wheel whenthe vehicle is jacked up. The tyre in con-
tact with the ground may turn and the ve- hicle may come off the jack, possibly lead-
ing to an accident. Besides, do not touch
the high-voltage area.Battery save switch
E00636800022
The remaining quantity of the drive battery
can be kept if you drive in the EV driving mode at a residential area or use electric
power at the destination.
Moreover, the electric power consumption of
the drive battery can also be held down by
pressing the battery save switch while high- speed driving.
If the battery save switch is pressed while the
READY indicator is on, the engine will start
to keep the remaining quantity of the drive battery, the vehicle operates in the series hy-
brid mode or the parallel hybrid mode.
It can be cancelled, if it is pressed once again.
If the battery save mode is activated, the fol-
lowing image is displayed on the information screen in the multi-information display.
Battery save switch
7-21OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

NOTElIt is recommended to use the battery charg-
ing switch at least 20 minutes before you
climb towards the speed of more than
100 km/h (62 mph) or when a long slope
(gradient of more than 4 %) is expected.
(According to a towing weight, it may not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has been parked in the heath a
long time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to the full charging
of the drive battery becomes longer depend- ing on the condition of the drive battery, a
driving condition or an environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer. We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.
l When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to
idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge switch that conforms to the relevant municipality.
If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity using gasoline, the fuel consumption will suffer.When the Battery save switch
is ON
When the battery save switch is turned on while driving in the battery charge mode, the
mode changes to the battery save mode.
If the battery charge switch is pressed, the
mode is returned to the battery charge mode.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System (AVAS) E00631601051
The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System(AVAS) is a device that uses sound to alert
pedestrians of the presence of the vehicle. The system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 35 km/h (22 mph) or less and the en-
gine is not running.
The sound starts when the AVAS is operated
in the following conditions.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) or less with engine not runningand the brake pedal is not depressed.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) to 35 km/h (22 mph) and engine
is not running.
The sound does not start in the following ca-
ses.
l When the vehicle speed is about 3 km/h
(2 mph) or less and the brake pedal is depressed.
l When the vehicle speed is about 35 km/h
(22 mph) or more.
l When the select position is in “P”
(PARK) position.
