4-6. Driving tips
■Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (h eating/cooling) will be minimized, improving
the fuel economy. ( P. 236)
■Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid System
Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 94)
■When braking the vehicle
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.
■Delays
Repeated acceleration and decelerati on, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel consumption. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delay s as much as possible. When
encountering a delay, gently release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the
accelerator pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline
consumption.
■Highway driving
Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before
stopping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the
accelerator and gently apply the br akes. A greater amount of elec-
trical energy can be retained when slowing down.
Hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driv ing, pay attention to the fol-
lowing points:

■ Handling of the air conditioning panel
The operating section of the air conditioning panel uses capacitive touch sen-
sors. In the following cases, incorrect operation or non-response may oc\
cur.
●If the operating section is dirty or has liquid attached to it, incorrect operation
or non-response may occur.
● If the operating section receives electromagnetic waves, incorrect operation
or non-response may occur.
● If wearing gloves during operation, non-response may occur.
● If fingernails are used to operate the system, non-response may occur.
● If a touch pen is used to operate the system, non-response may occur.
● If the palm of your hand touches the operating section during operation,
incorrect operation may occur.
● If the palm of your hand touches the operating section, incorrect operation
may occur.
● If operations are performed quickly, non-response may occur.
■ Customization
Settings (e.g. air conditioning setting) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 477)
CAUTION
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.

ble for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equip-
ment.
● Part 15 of the FCC Rules & Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS stan-
dard(s)
• Properly shielded a grounded cables and connectors must be used for
connection to host computer and/or peripherals in order to meet FCC
emission limits.
• This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
• This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of this device.
• Le présent appareil est conforme aux la partie 15 des règles de la FCC et CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de
licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)
l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appa-
reil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouil-
lage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.

CAUTION
• This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forthfor an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency
(RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of
the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very
low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum per-
missive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that it should be
installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away
from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and
ankles).
• Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux rayonne- ments énoncées pour un environnement non contrôlé et respecte les
règles les radioélectriques (RF) de la FCC lignes directrices d’exposi-
tion dans le Supplément C à OET65 et d’exposition aux fréquences
radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC. Cet équipement émet une éner-
gie RF très faible qui est considérée conforme sans évaluation de
l’exposition maximale autorisée.
Cependant, cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé en gardant une
distance de 20 cm ou plus entre le dispositif rayonnant et le corps (à
l’exception des extrémités : mains, poignets, pieds et chevilles).
• Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain
approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should
be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is
not more than that necessary for successful communication.
● Laser products
• Do not take this unit apart or attempt to make any changes yourself.
This is an intricate unit that uses a laser pickup to retrieve information
from the surface of compact discs. The laser is carefully shielded so
that its rays remain inside the cabinet. Therefore, never try to disassem-
ble the player or alter any of its parts since you may be exposed to laser
rays and dangerous voltages.
• This product utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL
INCREASE EYE HAZARD.
