Closing the hood
1. Before closing the hood, check inand around the motor compart-
ment to ensure the following:
- Any tools or other loose objectsare removed from the motor
room area or hood opening area
- All glove, rags, or other com- bustible material is removed
from the engine compartment
- All filler caps are tightly and cor- rectly installed
2. Lower the hood halfway (lifted approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
from the closed position) and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure. If the hood can be
raised slightly, it is not securely
locked. Open it again and close it
with more force.
Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around the
hood opening.
Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away.
Check there is no hood open
warning light or message dis-
played on the instrument clus-
ter. Driving with the hood
opened may cause a total loss
of visibility, which might
result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.
WARNING
Grasp the support rod in the
area wrapped in rubber.
The support rod must be
inserted completely into the
hole provided whenever you
inspect the motor compart-
ment. This will prevent the
hood from falling and possi-
bly injuring you.

When the " " indicator is ON
and the gear is in a position other
than P (Park), the driver can acci-
dently depress the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to move
unexpectedly.
Virtual Engine Sound System
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates an audible sound for near-
by pedestrians when the vehicle is in
ready ( ) mode and the vehicle is
in gear ("D" or "R"). The sound
changes if the vehicle is speeding up
or slowing down.
If the vehicle is in the ready ( )mode and the gear is not in P
(Park), the VESS will operate.
When the gear is shifted to R (Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
Distance to Empty
The location of where the vehicle
range is displayed is different
depending on which drive mode is
active.
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode System" in chapter 5.
The vehicle is much quieter
while driving than a conven-
tional gasoline-powered vehi-
cle. Be aware of your sur-
roundings and always drive
safely.
After you park the vehicle or
while you are waiting at a traf-
fic light, check whether there
are children or obstacles
around the vehicle.
Check if there is something
behind the vehicle when driv-
ing in reverse. Pedestrians
may not hear the sound of the
vehicle.
