Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l Regenerative brake force increases with
the foot brake force when the brake ped-
al is depressed.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the ASC have been activated, the regenera-
tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.Operation of gasoline engine

l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.Refueling (gasoline)

l If the warning display appears, refuel as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will not start even in a situation need to be generated electricity, the following
conditions will occur. • The driving performance falls (since
only the electrical power stored in the drive battery can be used for the driv-
ing).
• The heating performance cannot be
available (except vehicles with elec-
tric heater).
• The effectiveness of the heater is in-
sufficient (vehicles with electric heat-er).
• The catalytic converter may be dam-
aged due to excessive high tempera- ture.
Refer to “Filling the fuel tank” on page 2-12.
Refer to “Fuel remaining display screen” on page 6-10.

NOTElIt may take several seconds to stabilise the
display after refilling the tank.
l If fuel is added with the operation mode of
the power switch is in ON, the fuel gauge may incorrectly indicate the fuel level.
l The arrow (A) indicates that the fuel tank
filler is located on the left side of the body.Fuel remaining warning display
E00522401788
When the fuel is reduced to about 7 litres, the
information screen switches to the interruptdisplay of the fuel remaining warning dis-
play, and the “
” mark (B) on the fuel re-
maining display flashes slowly (about once
per second). After a few seconds, the infor- mation screen returns from the fuel remain-
ing warning display to the previous screen.
When the fuel is reduced further to about 5 li-
tres, the information screen switches to the
fuel remaining warning display and the “
”
mark (B) on the fuel remaining display flash-
es quickly (about twice per second).
CAUTIONl If the warning display appears, refuel as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the engine will not start even in a situation need to be
generated electricity, the following condi- tions will occur.
• The driving performance falls (since only
the electrical power stored in the drive
battery can be used for the driving).
• The heating performance cannot be avail-
able (except vehicles with electric heater).
• The effectiveness of the heater is insuffi-
cient (vehicles with electric heater).CAUTION• The catalytic converter may be damaged
due to excessive high temperature.NOTEl On inclines or curves, the display may be in-
correct due to the movement of fuel in the
tank.
l Battery save or battery charge may not be
activated even if the battery save switch or
the battery charge switch is pressed, depend-
ing on the remaining quantity of the drive
battery or the control condition of the sys- tem.Outside temperature display
screen
E00522101509
This shows the temperature outside the vehicle.
NOTEl The display setting can be changed to the
preferred units (°C or °F).

WARNINGlIf it is necessary to do work in the engine
compartment with the plug-in hybrid EV
system starting, be especially careful that
your clothing, hair, etc., does not become caught by the cooling fans, drive belts, orother moving parts.
l The cooling fans can turn on automatical-
ly even if the plug-in hybrid EV system is
stopping. Put the operation mode of the
power switch in OFF to be safe while you work in the engine compartment.
l Make sure that the engine and Plug-in
Hybrid EV system has cooled down be- fore removing the radiator cap and EV
cooling system reserve tank cap, because hot steam or boiling water will otherwise
gush from the filler port and may scald you.
l Do not smoke, cause sparks or allow open
flames around fuel or auxiliary battery.
The fumes are flammable.
l Be extremely cautious when working
around the auxiliary battery. It contains
poisonous and corrosive sulphuric acid.
l Do not get under your vehicle with just
the body jack supporting it. Always use automotive jack stands.
l Improper handling of components and
materials used in the vehicle can endangeryour personal safety. We recommend you to consult a specialist for necessary infor-
mation.WARNINGl The components inside the engine room
might be very hot to the touch.
To avoid being burnt, make sure all com- ponents have sufficiently cooled before beginning an inspection. These compo-
nents are affixed with the label indicating precautions for handling. Follow the in-structions on the label.

Catalytic converter
E01000202495
The exhaust gas scavenging devices used with the catalytic converter are extremely ef- ficient for the reduction of noxious gases.
The catalytic converter is installed in the ex- haust system.
It is important to keep the engine properly
tuned to ensure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage.WARNINGl As with any vehicle, do not park or oper-
ate this vehicle in areas where combusti- ble materials such as dry grass or leaves
can come in contact with a hot exhaust
since a fire could occur.
l Paint should not be applied to the catalyt-
ic converter.NOTEl Use fuel of the type recommended in
“Fuel
selection” on page 2-12.
