Virtual Engine Sound System(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound because
there is limited sound whilst motor
power is used.
The VESS may be turned ON or
OFF by pressing the VESS button.
(if equipped)
If the vehicle is moving at low speed, the VESS will operate.
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
What Does RegenerativeBraking Do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and when braking and trans-
forms kinetic energy to electrical
energy in order to charge the high
voltage battery.
Battery
Hybrid
- The vehicle is composed of ahigh voltage battery that drives
the motor and air conditioner, and
an integrated 12V lithium ion
polymer battery with the HEV
battery that drives the lamps,
wipers, and audio system.
- The integrated 12V battery is auto- matically charged when the vehicle
is in the ready ( ) mode.
Plug-in hybrid vehicle - The vehicle is composed of ahighvoltage battery that drives
the motor and air-conditioner,
and an auxiliary battery (12 V)
that drives the lamps, wipers, and
audio system.
- The auxiliary battery is automati- cally charged when the vehicle is
in the ready ( ) mode.
When you start the hybrid
system with the shift lever in
P (Parking), the “ ” indica-
tor illuminates on the instru-
ment cluster. The driver can
drive the vehicle, even when
the engine is stopped.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn OFF the
hybrid system or locate the
shift lever in P (Park). When
you depress the accelerator
pedal by mistake, or when the
shift lever is not in P (Park),
the vehicle will abruptly move,
possibly resulting in serious
injury or death.

AUTO (Automatic) control (if equipped)
The rain sensor located on the upper
end of the windscreen glass senses
the amount of rainfall and controls
the wiping cycle for the proper inter-
val. The more it rains, the faster the
wiper operates.
When the rain stops, the wiper stops.
To vary the speed setting, turn the
speed control knob (1).
If the wiper switch is set in AUTO
mode when the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the wiper will oper-
ate once to perform a self-check of
the system. Set the wiper to OFF
position when the wiper is not in use. When washing the vehicle, set
the wiper switch in the OFF (O)
position to stop the auto wiper
operation. The wiper may oper-
ate and be damaged if the switch
is set in the AUTO mode whilst
washing the vehicle.
Do not remove the sensor cover located on the upper end of the
passenger side windscreen
glass. Damage to system parts
could occur and may not be cov-
ered by your vehicle warranty.

Windscreen washers
In the OFF (O) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer
fluid on the windscreen and to run the
wipers 1-3 cycles. The spray and
wiper operation will continue until you
release the lever. If the washer does
not work, you may need to add wash-
er fluid to the washer fluid reservoir.When the outside temperature is
below freezing, ALWAYS warm
the windscreen using the
defroster to prevent the washer
fluid from freezing on the wind-
screen and obscuring your
vision which could result in an
accident and serious injury or
death.
WARNING
To prevent possible damage
to the washer pump, do not
operate the washer when the
fluid reservoir is empty.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers or windscreen,
do not operate the wipers
when the windscreen is dry.
To prevent damage to the
wiper arms and other compo-
nents, do not attempt to move
the wipers manually.
To prevent possible damage
to the wipers and washer sys-
tem, use anti-freezing washer
fluids in the winter season or
cold weather.

Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a clean
cloth dampened with washer fluid. To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use petrol, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Attempt to move the wipers manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windscreen difficult to clean.
Information
Wiper blades are consumable items.
Normal wear of the wipers may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.
Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
