Charging operation
Before charging, always check the following items.
●The parking brake is applied.
● The headlights are switched off or set to AUTO, and lights such as
the emergency flashers and interior lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The power switch is off.
The time required to charge the hybr id battery (traction battery) differs
according to the charging voltage and charging current.
*1: This is the maximum value.
*2: The time required for charging to complete depends on conditions such as the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) and the outside
temperature.

WARNING
■When charging
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or\
serious injury.
● Connect to a power source suitable for charging.
● Check that the charging inlet, charging cable, plug and outlet are free of
foreign matter.
● Only use outlets where the plug can be securely inserted.
● Do not charge if the charging cable is coiled or bundled.
● Wrapping 120 V charging cable while in-use is not recommended because
cable may overheat. Failure to rewrap charging cable when not in-use
could result in strangulation or tripping hazard.
● Do not wash the vehicle while the charging cable is connected to the vehi-
cle and when the charging lid is open.
● Do not touch the terminals of the charging connector and charging inlet
with a sharp metal objects (needles etc.) or hands, or short them with for-
eign objects.
● When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a weatherproof outlet
for outdoor use.
● Do not insert the plug if the outlet is submerged in water or snow.
● Follow these points when charging while it is raining or snowing.
• Check that no snow, water or ice has accumulated around the charging
connector terminals and the vehicle charging inlet. Tap snow, water or
ice gently from connector prior to inserting charging connector into the
vehicle’s charging inlet.
• Do not connect the plug if your hands are wet. Also, do not get the plug or outlet wet.
● Do not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
● Do not let the wheels on the charging cable, plug, charging connector and
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
● Firmly insert the plug into the outlet.
● Do not use an extension cord and converting adaptor.

Basic operation
■Starting the hybrid systemCheck that the charging cable is disconnected.
Check that the parking brake is set.
Firmly depress the brake
pedal.
and a message will be
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
When the shift position is N, the
hybrid system cannot start. Shift
the shift position to P when start-
ing the hybrid system.
Press the power switch
shortly and firmly.
When operating the power
switch, one short, firm press is
enough. It is not necessary to
press and hold the switch.
If the “READY” indicator turns
on, the hybrid system will oper-
ate normally.
Continue depressing the brake pedal until the “READY” indicator is illu-
minated.

3. Basic operation
Shift the shift position to P.
Check that the P position is
highlighted on the shift posi-
tion indicator, and release the
brake pedal gently after
applying the parking brake.
■About engine braking
When shift position B is selected, releasing the accelerator pedal will apply
engine braking.
●When the vehicle is driven at high speeds, compared to ordinary gasoline-
fueled vehicles, the engine braking deceleration is felt less than that of other
vehicles.
● The vehicle can be accelerated even when shift position B is selected.
If the vehicle is driven continuously in the B position, fuel efficiency will
become low. Usually, select the D position.

NOTICE
■ Hybrid battery (tract ion battery) charge
If the shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. To help prevent the battery from discharging, avoid leaving the N
position selected for an extended period of time.
