Information
When starting the vehicle in cold weather
using manual temperature control,
operate the system in the following method
to improve heating. - Turn off or lower the blower, right after starting the engine.
- Allow the engine to warm up during
this time since the air flow from the
heater is still cold.
- After a few minutes of engine warm up,
turn on or set the fan to a higher level
and adjust the temperature setting to hot. Air intake control
Recirculated air position
With the recirculated air
position selected, air from the
passenger compartment will
be drawn through the heating
system and heated or cooled
according to the function
selected.
Outside (fresh) air position
With the outside (fresh) air
position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside and
is heated or cooled according
to the function selected.
Information
Operating the system primarily in Fresh
mode is recommended. Use Recirculation mode temporarily only when needed.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the A/C ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the
cabin and may promote formation of
musty vent odor due to stagnant air.

WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode for a prolonged period of
time may cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This may lead
to loss of vehicle control which may
lead to an accident.
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode with the A/C OFF may allow
humidity to increase inside the cabin.
This may cause condensation to
accumulate on the windshield and
obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle with
the windows up and either the
heater or the air conditioning ON for
prolonged periods of time. Doing so
may increase the levels of carbon
dioxide in the cabin which may lead
to serious injury or death.Fan speed control

WARNING
Windshield heating
Do not use the
or position
during cooling operation in extremely
humid weather. The difference between
the temperature of the outside air and
that of the windshield could cause the
outer surface of the windshield to fog
up, causing loss of visibility. In this case,
set the mode selection knob or button
to the
position and fan speed control
knob or button to lower speed. • For maximum defrost performance,
set the temperature control knob
to the highest temperature setting
(rotated all the way to the right) and
the fan speed control to the highest
setting.
• If warm air to the floor is desired while
defrosting or defogging, set the mode
to the floor-defrost position.
• Before driving, clear all snow and ice
from the windshield, rear window,
side view mirrors, and all side
windows.
• Clear all snow and ice from the
hood and air inlet in the cowl grill
to improve heater and defroster
efficiency and to reduce the
probability of fogging up inside of the windshield.

Brake SyStem
Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes
that adjust automatically through normal usage.
If the engine is not running or is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will be
longer than with power brakes.
When the engine is not running, the
reserve brake power is partially depleted
each time the brake pedal is applied.
Do not pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Only pump the brakes on slippery
surfaces if the power assist has been
interrupted to maintain steering control.
Do not pump the brakes on slippery
surfaces if the brakes are operating
normally.
WARNING
Take the following precautions: • Do not drive with your foot resting
on the brake pedal. This will create
abnormal high brake temperatures,
excessive brake lining and pad wear,
and increased stopping distances.
• When descending down a long or
steep hill, move the gear shift button
to Manual Shift Mode and manually
downshift to a lower gear in order
to control your speed without using
the brake pedal excessively. Applying
the brakes continuously will cause
the brakes to overheat and could
result in a temporary loss of braking
performance.
• Wet brakes may impair the vehicle's
ability to safely slow down; the
vehicle may also pull to one side
when the brakes are applied.
Applying the brakes lightly will
indicate whether they have been
affected in this way. Always test your
brakes in this fashion after driving
through deep water. To dry the
brakes, lightly tap the brake pedal to
heat up the brakes while maintaining
a safe forward speed until brake
performance returns to normal.
Avoid driving at high speeds until the
brakes function correctly.
Disc Brakes Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and new
pads are required, you will hear a high
pitched warning sound from your front
or rear brakes. You may hear this sound
come and go or it may occur whenever
you depress the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem with your brakes.
NOTICE
To avoid costly brake repairs, do not
continue to drive with worn brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as complete
front or rear axle sets.

Before Jump Starting
This vehicle does not have a regular 12V
battery that needs periodic replacement.
It is lithium ion polymer type integrated
into the HEV high voltage battery. The
vehicle has a 12V battery protection
system that cuts 12V battery from vehicle
draw to prevent full discharge.
Using the 12V battery reset switch
OCN7HQ010003N
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset switch to reconnect the 12V battery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 seconds of pressing the 12V Battery Reset switch.
3. After starting the vehicle (
indicator on), operate the vehicle
safely outdoors in ready mode
stopped and/or drive it for 30 minutes
total to charge the 12V battery fully. If you do not start the vehicle
immediately after pressing the 12V
Battery Reset switch, the power of 12V
battery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V battery
from additional discharge. If the 12V
battery is disconnected prior to starting
the vehicle, press the 12V Battery Reset
switch again and then immediately start
the vehicle as explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery Reset
switch without a sufficient engine
ON cycle (30 Min+) may cause over
discharge of the 12V battery, which will
prevent the vehicle from starting. If the
12V battery is over discharged to a point
that the reset does not work, try to jump-
start the vehicle.
Information
After starting the vehicle (
indicator
on), the 12V battery is being charged
whether the engine is running or not.
Although there is no engine sound, it is
unnecessary to depress the accelerator pedal.
The following items may need to be reset
after the battery has been discharged or
the battery has been disconnected.
