source for driving in HV mode, it is
needed to refueling the vehicle.

immediately when the fuel level
becomes low. ( P.306)
■If the vehicle is not used for a
long time
●The 12-volt battery may dis-
charge. In this e vent, charge the
12-volt battery. ( P.539)

tery (traction batt ery) from becom-
ing extremely low in charge,
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery) from external power
source or start th e hybrid system
at least once every 2 or 3 months,
and turn the power switch off after
the gasoline engine has stopped
automatically. ( If the gasoline
engine does not start up even
