There is the possibility of forgetting
that the selector lever is shifted to
the R position when only reversing
the vehicle a little. After reversing the
vehicle, immediately shift the
selector lever to the N or P position,
and before starting to drive the
vehicle again, check the shift
position indication in the instrument
cluster.
When driving
WARNING
Do not shift the selector lever to the N
position while driving:
Decelerat ion using the regenerat ive
braking is not possible which could
result in an accident.
Normal driving
Shift the selector lever to the D
position to drive the vehicle.
Acceleration/deceleration is
performed using the accelerator and
brake pedals.
Driving on steep upslopes
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to
adjust the vehicle speed.
Driving on downslopes
On long or steep downslopes, increase
the amount deceleration using the
regenerative braking in regenerative
braking level change mode.
CAUTION
 On long downslopes, operate the
regenerative braking and the foot
brake together. Frequent
deceleration by depressing the brake
pedal could cause the disc brakes to
overheat and become ine ffective.
 If only strong regenerative braking is
used continuously, it could stop
working temporarily.
Regeneration braking is less e ffective
the closer the high voltage battery is
to a full charge, and regeneration
braking will not work when the high
voltage battery is fully charged.
Stopping the vehicles
1. After completely stopping the vehicle, continue to depress the
brake pedal firmly.
2. If necessary, apply the parking brake with the brake pedal
depressed.
3. If the vehicle is going to be parked for a long time, shift the selector
lever to the P position with the
brake pedal depressed.
WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily while the vehicle is
stopped:
If the accelerator pedal is mistakenly
depressed when the selector lever is in
a position other than the P or N
position, the vehicle could suddenly
accelerate resulting in an accident.
After stopping the vehicle, check the
shift position indication in the
instrument cluster before
re-accelerating:
If the vehicle were to move in the
unintended direction, it could lead to
an accident.
CAUTION
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same time,
or rev the motor with the selector lever
in the forward drive position while the
vehicle is stopped on an upslope. The
motor could overheat and lead to
damage.

Auto-light control
When the power switch is switched ON, the light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area and the headlights and the exterior lights turn on/off
automatically according to the surrounding brightness. When the power switch is
switched OFF, the headlights an d the exterior lights turn off automatically.
CAUTION
 Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.
 The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. If the wiper
lever is in the AUTO position with the power switch switched ON, the wipers may
operate automatically. Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers. Otherwise, it
could cause injury or damage to the windshield wipers. When cleaning the
windshield (especially when removing snow or ice with the power switch switched
ON (EV system on)), make sure that the wiper switch is turned o ff. If the wipers
are operated, it could cause a problem wi th the windshield wiper or damage the
wiper blade.
NOTE
The headlights and other exte rior lights may not turn off immediately even if the
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is
night time if the surrounding area is cont inuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
