Also, by releasing the lever soon after pulling
it towards you, the washer fluid will be sprayed several times while the wipers are operating several times. (Intelligent washer)
Then about 6 seconds later, wipers operate once more.
Intelligent washer will stop operating with
any operation of the lever.CAUTIONl If the washer is used in cold weather, the
washer fluid sprayed against the glass may
freeze resulting in poor visibility. Heat the
glass with the defroster or demister before using the washer.NOTEl It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• Causing the wiper never to operate when
washer fluid is sprayed.NOTE• Deactivating the intelligent washer.
• Deactivating the function that operates the
wipers once more about 6 seconds later.

using wipers and washers
E00507601327
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, put the operation mode in OFF, and then re-
move the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us- ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re- quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Wiper de-icer switch*
E00507701142
The rear window demister switch can be op-erated when the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
operating.
When the front wipers have frozen to the
windscreen at the parked positions, turning
on this switch will heat the windscreen to
make the wipers operable. Press the rear win- dow demister switch and the deicer will oper-
ate.
NOTEl The wiper de-icer is activated/deactivated,
depending on the operation of the rear win-
dow demister. Refer to “Rear window de- mister switch” on page 6-67.Rear window demister
switch E00507902659
The rear window demister switch can be op-erated when the operation mode of the power
switch is in ON.
Push the switch to turn on the rear window
demister. It will be turned off automatically
in about 15 to 20 minutes depending on the outside temperature. To turn off the demister
while it is operating, push the switch again. The indication lamp (A) will illuminate while the demister is on.

NOTElDo not use this switch when the ready indi-
cation lamp is not illuminated. The auxiliary battery could go flat, making it impossible to
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l Since the demister requires a significant
amount of power, stop the demister as soonas the window is demisted. Using it for along time may reduce the auxiliary battery
voltage, making it impossible to start the
Plug-in Hybrid EV System.
l When the rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-view mirrors are
defogged or defrosted. Refer to “Heated mir-
ror” on page 7-11.
l On vehicles equipped with the wiper de-icer,
when the rear window demister switch is pushed, the window glass becomes warm
and the wipers become operable. Refer to “Wiper de-icer switch” on page 6-67.NOTEl It is possible to change the setting to make
the rear window demister operate automati-
cally when ambient temperature becomes
low while the ready indication lamp is illu- minated, even if you do not push the rear
window demister switch.
It operates automatically only once after put-
ting the operation mode in ON.
If you choose this setting, the heated mirrors (if so equipped) and wiper de-icer (if so
equipped) will also operate automatically at the same time.

Economical drivingE00600102422
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal
driving habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispressed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. If you have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600301775
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
