WARNING•Do not open the rear hatch, for exam-
ple to remove or place an item in the
cargo area.
Charging may affect the operation of elec- tric medical devices and result in serious
personal injury or death.
l Do not charge when the EV charging ca-
ble is coiled up.
Doing so the cable may be heated and this
might result in fire.
l Before charging, make sure that there is
no foreign matter such as dust at the nor- mal charge port and the normal charge
connector.
At this time, do not touch the normal charge port.
l When the normal charge connector is
connected to the charge port, prevent for- eign matter such as water or dust from
entering in the connection.
Connection with foreign matter such as
water or dust may cause fire or an electric shock. Do not perform charging if there
might be strong exposure to water at the
connection.
l Never pull the cable to remove the plug.
And never submerge the EV charging connector, control box or plug in water.
l Please observe the following in order to
prevent accidents during charging such as
electrocution.
• Only use the EV charging cable that is
supplied with the vehicle.WARNING• Do not charge another vehicle by the
EV charging cable. The cable may overheat and result in a fire.
• When charging outdoors, make sure to
use an outlet that is protected from wa-
ter entering.
• Do not perform charging with the car
cover.
• Do not connect or disconnect the plug
and connector with wet hands.
l While it is normal for the connector and
charging cable to become warm during charging, discontinue use immediately if
the connector or charging cable becomes hot to the touch.
l While it is normal for the control box to
become warm during charging, discontin- ue use immediately if the control box be- comes hot to the touch.
l If abnormal smells are detected or the ve-
hicle produces smoke, quickly stop charg-
ing.
l Do not perform charging in a poorly ven-
tilated area or in an enclosed area. Keep
sparks, cigarettes, and flames away from
the auxiliary battery.
Flammable gas generated from the auxili- ary battery during charging may be trap- ped, resulting in explosion.
If charging is inevitably required, venti-
late the area well.WARNINGl Grasp the normal charge connector when
connecting or disconnecting the EVcharging cable.
Grasping the cable may damage the cable
and could cause an electric shock, short circuit, and/or fire.CAUTIONl During charging, the cooling fans inside the

Indication lamp, warning lamp, and information screen display list
6-30OGGE16E1Instruments and controls6

When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in ON, if the brake fluid is low,
this warning is displayed.
The warning lamp in the instrument cluster also illuminates.CAUTIONl If this warning stays illuminated and does
not go out while driving, there is a danger of ineffective braking. In this case, immediate-
ly park your vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have it checked.
l If the brake warning display is displayed and
the brake warning lamp and the ABS warn- ing lamp are illuminated at the same time,
the braking force distribution function will
not operate, so the vehicle may be destabi- lised during sudden braking. Avoid sudden
braking and high-speed driving, stop the ve-
hicle in a safe place, and we recommend you to have it checked.
l The vehicle should be brought to a halt in
the following manner when brake perform-
ance has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal moves down to
the very end of its possible stroke, keep it pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use regenerative
brake to reduce your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to operate the
stop lamp to alert the vehicles behind you.Oil pressure warning display
E00524901309
If the engine oil pressure drops while the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operating, thewarning display is displayed on the informa-
tion screen in the multi information display.
CAUTIONl If the vehicle is driven while the engine oil
is low, or the oil level is normal but the warning is displayed, the engine may burn
out and be damaged.
l If the warning is displayed while the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System is operating, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and check
the engine oil level.
l If the warning is displayed while the engine
oil level is normal, have it inspected.Combination headlamps

HeadlampsNOTEl Do not leave the lights on for a long time
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is sta-tionary (not operating). A run-down auxili- ary battery could result.
l When it rains, or when the vehicle has been
washed, the inside of the lens sometimes be-
comes foggy, but this does not indicate a
functional problem.
When the lamp is switched on, the heat will remove the fog. However, if water gathers
inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.
Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.

wheel drive vehicles E00606801844
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 12-08.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 11-11.
l Check 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 differentsize, 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 tooil 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
E00636800051
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.
