Charging operation
Before charging, always check the following items.
● The parking brake is applied.
● Lights such as the headlights, emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned on, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
● The power switch is turned to OFF.
The time required to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) differs
according to the charging vol tage and charging current.
*1: If equipped
*2: This is the maximum value.
*3: The time required to complete charging depends on conditions such as the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery), the outside tem-
perature and specifications of a charger (charging station).
*4: When using “My Room Mode”, the time required for charging to c omplete
may be longer or the charging may not be completed.

3. Things you must know
Things you must know
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the rech arging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
■ Gasoline engine operation in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode
Even if there is a sufficient amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) and EV driving range is being displayed on the multi-
information display, EV driving (driving using only the electri c motor) may be
canceled and both gasoline engine and electric motor are used depending on
the situation (EV driving will be returned to automatically aft er EV driving
becomes possible again).
EV driving may be canceled automatically in the following circu mstances
*1:
● When vehicle speed is more than approximately 84 mph (135 km/h) .
● When power is needed temporarily, for example when the accelera tor pedal
is depressed firmly or when accelerating suddenly.
*2
● When the temperature of the hybrid system is high.
The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
● When the temperature of the hybrid system is low.
● When the heater is switched on when the outside temperature is below
about 14°F (-10°C).
● When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.
● When the system determines that the gasoline engine needs to be started.
*1: The gasoline engine may also operate in circumstances other than those
listed above, depending on conditions.
*2: When driving in AUTO EV/HV mode. Even in EV mode, the gasolineengine may start, depending on the condition of the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
