CAUTIONlDo not overly rely on the hill start assist to
prevent backwards movement of the vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even when hill
start assist is activated, the vehicle may
move backwards if the brake pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the vehicle is heav-
ily loaded, or if the road is very steep or slip- pery.
l The hill start assist is not designed to keep
the vehicle stopped in place on uphill slopes for more than 2 seconds.
l When facing uphill, do not rely on using the
hill start assist to maintain a stopped position as an alternative to depressing the brake ped-
al.
Doing so could result in an accident.
l Do not turn the operation mode in ACC or
OFF while the hill start assist is operating.
The hill start assist could stop operating, which could result in an accident.To operate
E00628101498
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. Put the select position to the “D” posi-
tion.
NOTEl When reversing on an uphill slope, put the
select position to the “R” position.3. Release the brake pedal and the hill start
assist will maintain the braking force ap-
plied while stopped for approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and the
hill start assist will gradually decrease the braking force as the vehicle startsmoving.NOTEl The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The Plug-in Hybrid EV System is operat-
ing.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
starting or immediately after the Plug-in
Hybrid EV System has started.)
• The select position is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.
• The parking brake is released.
l The hill start assist will not operate if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed before the brake
pedal is released.
l The hill start assist also operates when re-
versing on an uphill slope.Warning display

E00609801988
If the set speed driving is deactivated by the
condition described in “To deactivate” on
page 7-46, you can resume the previously set
speed by push up the RES + switch (C) while
driving at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph)
or higher. The “SET” indicator appears on
the information display in the meter cluster.
Under either of the following conditions, however, using the switch does not allow you
to resume the previously set speed. In these
situations, repeat the speed setting procedure:
l The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch is pressed.
l The operation mode is put in OFF.
l The indicator display goes off.Speed Limiter*
E00633201093
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while Plug-in Hybrid EV System pow- er control.
CAUTIONl Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed
may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed
(about 3 km/h (2 mph)), the indicator will
brink in the combination meter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) more than about 5
seconds after indicated alert message, beep
alert is sounded for about 10 seconds at the most.
While running without alert message, if you
decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) ,
alert message is displayed but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex-
ceeding set speed about +3 km/h (2 mph) for
about 30 seconds after the alert message is appeared, beep alert is sounded for about 10
seconds at the most.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds after the alert message is appeared, the message is disappeared. When beep alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.NOTEl However, this gives priority to audio and
visual signal of safety reasons or driver’s de-mand.Speed Limiter control switches
