1-1. For safe use
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before driv-
ing the vehicle. ( P.36)
Use a child restraint system appro-
priate for the child until the child
becomes large enough to properly
wear the vehicle’s seat belt.
( P. 4 9 )
Make sure that you can see the
rear of the vehicle clearly, by
adjusting the inside rear view mirror
and outside rear view mirrors prop-
erly. ( P.216, 217)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving. Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do n ot p la ce a cu s hi on b et we en t he driver or passenger and the
seatback. A cushion may prevent correct pos-ture from being achieved, and
reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.Objects placed under the front
seats may become jammed in the seat tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to
an accident and the adjustment mechanism may also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed limit when driving on public roads.
●When driving over long distances, take regular breaks before you start to feel tired. Also, if you feel tired or
sleepy while driving, do not force yourself to continue driving and take a break immediately.

1-2. Child safety
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be
used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off sys-tem is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is
not installed on the front passen- ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau-
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.
 It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact with
the steering wheel, wiper
switch, etc.
 Use the rear door child-protec-
tor lock or the window lock
switch to avoid children open-
ing the door while driving or
operating the power window
accidentally. ( P.188, 221)
Do not let small children oper-
ate equipment which may
catch or pinch body parts,
such as the power window,
hood, back door, seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

12-volt battery
Provides electricity to various vehicle systems such as the SRS airbags, headlights,
wipers, etc.
*: AWD models only
■When braking (regenerative
braking)
The battery electric motor (traction
motor) charges the traction battery.
The driving range can be extended
by actively using this regenerative
braking to store electricity in the
traction battery.
The battery electric vehicle is
driven using electricity, which is
received from an external power
source and stored in the traction
battery. Not only public charging
stations, but also household sock-
ets can be used for charging. Pro-
cedures are different from refueling
a conventional vehicle. Therefore,
make sure to read the following
thoroughly.
 Charging equipment (P.95)
 AC charging cable (P. 9 8 )
 Power sources that can be used
( P.112)
 Things to know before charging
( P.118)
 How to charge your vehicle
( P.121, 129)
 When charging cannot be per-
formed normally ( P.152)
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy
is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the
traction battery.
●The accelerator pedal is released
while driving with the shift position in D.
●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
The 12-volt battery is charged from the
traction battery when the EV system is operated or while the traction battery is being charged.
If the vehicle has not been used for a long time, the 12-volt battery may become low due to self-discharge. If this
occurs, follow the correct procedures. ( P.544)
■When not using the vehicle for an
extended period of time
●When the vehicle will not be used for
an extended period of time, charge the traction battery once a month. This protects the traction battery from
extreme voltage decline due to self discharging.
●When the vehicle will not be used for an extended period of time, the 12-volt battery will be charged from the
traction battery to reduce the risk of the 12-volt battery discharged. In this case, the cooling fan may operate,
however it is not a malfunction.
●To prevent the 12-volt battery from
being discharged, do not leave the charging port lid open or the charging cable connected to the vehicle.

Electric Vehicle system
Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driving
in heavy traffic, etc. Shift the shift
position to P when parking. When
shifting the shift position to N while
driving, there is no positive effect
on electricity consumption. In the N,
the traction battery cannot be
charged. Also, when using the air
conditioning system, etc., the trac-
tion battery electricity is consumed.
( P.248)
Repeated acceleration and decel-
eration due to traffic congestion,
long waits at traffic lights, and driv-
ing on steep inclines will lead to
poor electricity consumption. In
order to avoid those situations as
much as possible, check traffic
reports before leaving. If the vehicle
is driven in traffic congestion, gently
release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly,
avoid overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help minimize
unnecessary electricity consump-
tion.
Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy
can be regenerated when slowing
down.
Control and maintain the vehicle at
a constant speed. Before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow
plenty of time to release the accel-
erator and gently apply the brakes.
A greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated when
slowing down.

driving tips
Unlike the conventional vehi-
cles, the electricity consump-
tion efficiency of battery
electric vehicles will decline if
they continue driving on high-
ways (or freeways) or at high
average speeds, causing the
possible driving distance to
reduce. Therefore, if the
remaining charge of the trac-
tion battery is low, avoid rely-
ing on the displayed possible
driving distance too much as
well as driving on highways (or
freeways). Driving the vehicle
at moderate speeds, the trac-
tion battery’s electricity con-
sumption can be controlled.
The following driving tips will
contribute to reduction in the
battery consumption and
increase in the driving range.

●Traction battery heater may operate when charging is not being performed.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-ating, the charging indicator will illumi-
nate.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-
ating during charging, the charging may take longer than normal.
●The remaining charge of the traction battery declines when the traction bat-tery heater operates, it might be nec-
essary to recharge the traction battery again in order to supplement the remaining charge.
■Traction battery cooler
●For AC charging: Traction battery cooler settings can be changed on the
multi-information display. ( P.115)
●The charging indicator will illuminate
when the traction battery cooler is on standby or operating.
●When the charge level of the traction battery is low, the traction battery cooler may not operate, even if the
temperature of the traction battery is high.
●When the following conditions are met while the traction battery cooler is operating, the cooling operation will
stop. • The hood is opened• The power switch is turned to ACC or
ON. • The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( P.427) • The remaining charge of the traction
battery drops below a certain amount
●The traction battery cooler operates
using power supplied by the traction battery and an external power source.• While the traction battery cooler is
operating, the charge of the traction battery will increase and decrease within a certain range, and will not
increase as during AC charging. • When the traction battery cooler oper-ates, charger will recognize it as the
battery being charged. If this function operates while a charger which charges a charging fee is connected
to the vehicle, AC charging fees will apply.
