The vehicle is driven on rough
roads such as in areas where there
is grass and foliage or o ff-road.
Refer to Stopping the Smart Brake
Support (SBS) System Operation
on page 4-143.
 Always use tires for all wheels that
are of the speci fied size, and the
same manufacture, brand, and tread
pattern. In addition, do not use tires
with signi ficantly di fferent wear
patterns on the same vehicle. If such
improper tires are used, the SBS may
not operate normally.
Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.

Basic Climate Control
System Operation
▼ Air Conditioner Basic Operation
Operate the air conditioner (cooling,
defrosting functions) with the EV
system started. The air conditioner can
be used while charging when the
power switch is switched ON. In
addition, Cabin preconditioning can
also be used when the power switch is
switched OFF.
NOTE
When the charging is completed with
the power switch switched ON, the air
conditioner (cooling , heating ,
defrosting functions) stops
automatically.
1. Press the AUTO switch. Selection of
the air flow mode, air intake
selector and amount of air flow will
be automatically controlled.
2. Operate the temperature setting
switch/
(red) or (blue) to
set the desired temperature.
NOTE
The recommended set
temperature is 22 °C (72 °F).
Setting the temperature to
maximum hot or cold will not
provide the desired temperature
at a faster rate.
The power consumption of the
air conditioner changes
depending on the set
temperature and the ambient
temperature. If the set
temperature is too low or high,
the remaining distance to full
discharge shortens.
3. To turn o ff the system, press the

 There is a problem with the vehicle
 If the operation conditions are not
met 30 minutes before the departure
time set by the climate control timer,
the climate control timer will not
operate.
 If any of the follo wing conditions is
met, the climate control system will
not operate e ffectively and the cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature:
 Your power consumption is high
 Extremely high or low
temperatures
 The climate control system stops at
the departure time. The cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature if you get in the vehicle
earlier or later than the set departure
time.
 If you operate the cabin
preconditioning while charging the
vehicle, it could take more time to
charge the high voltage battery.
 During the cabin preconditioning
operation, the cooling fan, the
compressor, and the cabin fans
operate, but this does not indicate a
problem.
 The climate control system functions

When towing a vehicle, transport it
with both front wheels raised o ff the
ground or with all front and rear
wheels raised o ff the ground.
If the vehicle is towed with the front
wheels grounded, the EV system may
be damaged.
This vehicle cannot be used to tow
other vehicles.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the tiedown hook at the front of
the vehicle.
If the vehicle has to be towed by rope
to move it such as in an emergency,
tow the vehicle in as short a distance
as possible such as to the transport
vehicle or to get unstuck. Otherwise,
the EV transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
 Shift to the N position.
 Start the EV system.
 Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-52.
In the following cases, do not tow the
vehicle with rope. Otherwise, the EV
transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
 The EV system does not start.
 The shift control system warning
indication/warning light displays/
turns on.
Do not stop the EV system while the
vehicle is being towed. Otherwise, the
parking lock may engage which could
lead to an accident.
Tiedown Hooks*
▼ Tiedown Hooks
CAUTION
Do not use the front and rear tiedown
eyelets for towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for
securing the vehicle to a transport
vessel during shipping.
Using the eyelets for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being
damaged.
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the
lug wrench from the luggage
compartment (page 7-3).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or
similar tool with a soft cloth to
