l Your vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 40 km/h (25 mph).
Combination headlamps and dipper switch
6-55OGGE18E1Instruments and controls6

lIt is dark ahead of your vehicle.
l There are no vehicles in front or oncom-
ing vehicles, or none of their exterior
lamps are illuminated.
The low beam headlamps illuminate when any of the following conditions occur:
l Your vehicle speed does not exceed ap-
proximately 30 km/h (19 mph).
l It is bright ahead of your vehicle.
l An exterior lamp of a vehicle in front or
oncoming vehicle is illuminating.NOTEl The headlamps may not be switched from
high-beam to low beam under the following circumstances.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
hindered by any object such as continuous
bends, elevated median/island, traffic
signs, roadside trees.
• Your vehicle passes an oncoming vehicle
suddenly on a bend with poor visibility.
• Another vehicle crosses ahead of your ve-
hicle.
l The headlamps may remain at low beam (or
be switched from high-beam to low beam)
when a reflective object (e.g. street lamp,
traffic signal, noticeboard and signboard) re- flects light.
l Any of the following factors may influence
the headlamp beam switching timing:NOTE• How brightly the exterior lamps of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle illumi-
nate.
• Movement or direction of a vehicle in
front or oncoming vehicle.
• Only right or left exterior lamp of a vehi-
cle in front or oncoming vehicle is illumi-
nating.
• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
a motorcycle.
• Road conditions (gradient, bends and road
surface).
• The number of occupants and luggage
load.
l The AHB recognises environmental condi-
tions by sensing a light source ahead of your
vehicle. Therefore, you may feel like some- thing is not quite right when the headlamp
beams are switched automatically.
l The system may not detect a light vehicle
such as a bicycle.
l The system may not detect an ambient
brightness precisely. This causes the traffic to be dazzled by high-beam or the low beam to be maintained. In such cases, you should
switch the headlamp beams manually.
• In bad weather (heavy rain, fog, snow or
sandstorm).
• The windscreen is dirty or fogged up.
• The windscreen is cracked or broken.
• The sensor is deformed or dirty.
• A light that is similar to the headlamps or
tail lamps is shining around your vehicle.NOTE• A vehicle in front or oncoming vehicle is
driven without lights, the exterior lamps are dirty or discoloured, or the direction
of the headlamp beams is adjusted im- properly.
• It becomes dark and bright suddenly and
continuously around your vehicle.
• Your vehicle is driven on uneven surfa-
ces.
• Your vehicle is driven on a winding road.
• A reflective object such as a noticeboard
or a mirror reflects a light ahead of your vehicle.
• When lamps of the vehicle in front or
headlamps of an oncoming vehicle blend into the other lamps.
• The rear end of a vehicle in front (such as
a container truck) reflect a strong light.
• Your vehicle’s headlamp is broken or
dirty.
• Your vehicle is inclined due to a flat tyre
or towing.
• The warning display appears.
(Refer to “System problem warning” on

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-

WARNINGlDo not turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System while your vehicle is in motion. If
you turn off the Plug-in Hybrid EV Sys- tem while driving, the power assistancefor the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
l If the power assist is lost or if either brake
hydraulic system stops working properly,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
Warning display
The brake warning lamp illuminates to indi-
cate a fault in the braking system. A warning
is also displayed on the multi information display. Refer to “Brake warning lamp (red)”
on page 6-48 and “Brake warning display” on
page 6-51.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a
low speed immediately after starting, espe- cially when the brakes are wet, to confirmthey work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake
discs and prevent normal braking after driv-
ing in heavy rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is washed. If this occurs, dry
the brakes out by driving slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhillWARNINGl Do not leave any objects near the brake
pedal or let a floor mat slide under it; do- ing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal can be operated freely at all times. Make sure that thefloor mat is securely held in place.CAUTIONl Put the selector lever to “B” position accord-
ing to the grade of a slope or the speed in along downward slope, and use the regenera-
tive brake together.
If you depress the brake pedal and slowing down is repeated frequently, the foot brake
may be overheated and effectiveness may worsen.CAUTIONl Effectiveness of the regenerative brake be-
comes weak when the drive battery is close
to full charge and loses its effect at the full
charge.
In this case, since the foot brake is effective,
use the foot brake and slow down your vehi-
cle speed beforehand.
The energy usage indicator stops swaying in the charge zone closer to full charge.
Refer to “Energy usage indicator” on page 6-02
In such case, drive at low speed in advance.
And if needed use the foot brake to slow
down the vehicle speed before the vehicle speed increases.
The regenerative brake comes to be effective if the drive battery remaining power is con-
sumed.
Brake pad
l Avoid hard braking situations.
New brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km
(124 miles).
l The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake pads have reached their wear limit. Ifyou hear this sound, have the brake padsreplaced immediately.
