aircraft, make sure you do not press any buttons on the electronic key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carry-
ing an electronic key in your bag, etc., ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a but-
ton may cause the electronic key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
●If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin when the EV
system stops.
●To reduce key battery depletion when the electronic key is to not be used for
long periods of time, set the electronic key to the battery-saving mode. ( P.204)

Driving
WARNING
●Use regenerative braking to main- tain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill. Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.
( P.251)
●If “Regenerative braking limited.
Press brake to decelerate.” appears on the multi-information display, firmly depress the brake pedal to
decelerate the vehicle. ( P.523)
●Do not adjust the positions of the
steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body are not outside the vehicle.
●AWD models: Do not drive the vehi-cle off-road.
This is not a AWD vehicle designed for off-road driving. Proceed with all due caution if it becomes unavoid-
able to drive off-road.
●Do not drive across a river or
through other bodies of water. This may cause electric/electronic components to short circuit, dam-
age the EV system or cause other serious damage to the vehicle.
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration and
steering may cause tire slippage and reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration or regenera-tive braking due to shift changing
could cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.
●After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from func-tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func- tioning properly, steering control may be affected.
■When shifting the shift position
●Do not let the vehicle roll backward
while a forward driving position is selected, or roll forward while the shift position is in R.
Doing so may result in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
●Do not shift the shift position to P while the vehicle is moving.Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift position to R while the vehicle is moving forward.Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift position to a driving position while the vehicle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmis- sion and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●Changing the shift position to N while the vehicle is moving will dis-
engage the EV system. Regenera- tive braking is not available with the EV system disengaged.
