■SRS airbag deployment conditions (SRS side and curtain shield a irbags)
● The SRS side and curtain shield airbags will deploy in the even t of an
impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding
to the impact force produced by an approximately 3300 lb. [1500 kg] vehicle
colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle
orientation at an approximate speed of 12 - 18 mph [20 - 30 km/ h]).
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags will deploy in the event of veh icle rollover.
● Both SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe
frontal collision.
■ Conditions under which the SRS ai rbags may deploy (inflate), other than
a collision
The SRS front airbags and SRS curtain shield airbags may also d eploy if a
serious impact occurs to the underside of your vehicle. Some ex amples are
shown in the illustration.
The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy under the situat ions shown
in the illustration. ● Hitting a curb, edge of pavement or hard
surface
● Falling into or jumping over a deep hole
● Landing hard or falling
● The angle of vehicle tip-up is marginal.
● The vehicle skids and hits a curb stone.

2-1. Plug-in hybrid system
Plug-in hybrid system features
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the
actual item.
Gasoline engine
Electric motor (traction motor)
The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both econom-
ical efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of hybrid vehi-
cles.
● EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an
external power source.
*
●If the amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid battery (t raction
battery) becomes low, the vehicle is automatically controlled i n
such a way that it can be driven as a hybrid vehicle through the
joint use of the gasoline engine.
*: The EV driving range will vary in accordance with conditions s uch as
vehicle speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid bat tery
(traction battery) and the usage of the air conditioning system. The gaso-
line engine may also be used simultaneously in accordance with driving
conditions.

Plug-in hybrid system
■Switching to the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
Press and hold the switch.
Take your hand off the switch
once the hybrid battery charge
mode indicator starts to blink.
The hybrid battery charge mode
indicator illuminates when the
switch to hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode is com-
plete.
When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged
*, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) charge mode is automatically cancele d and the
operation mode will be switched to HV mode.
The hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode will be cance led by
pressing EV/HV mode selection switch or EV auto mode switch.
*: The maximum charge amount in the hybrid battery (traction batt ery)
charge mode is approximately 80% of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power source.
■ If the plug-in hybrid system ope ration mode cannot be changed
In the following situations, the plug-in hybrid system operation mode cannot
be changed even if the EV/HV mode selection switch or EV auto mode switch
is pressed. (In this case, the warning message is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display when the switch is pressed.)
● When electricity needed for EV driving is not remaining (when in EV/EV
auto mode)
● When the traction battery is almost completely charged (hybrid battery [trac-
tion battery] charge mode)
■ When switching from EV mode to another mode using the switch
When the power switch is turned of f, operation mode switching is canceled
and the system returns to EV mode the next time the vehicle is started.
■ Hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
●The following may occur to protect the system, etc.
• Cannot switch to hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode or cannot
cancel it
• Gasoline engine does not start or stops even after switching to hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) charge mode
● If a load to the system is large, such as when the power consumption of the
air conditioning system is large or when the temperature of the engine cool-
ant is high, it may take longer time than usual to charge using the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) charge mode, or charging to the hybrid battery
(traction battery) may not be performed.
