Driving
Modes can be changed by pressing the power switch with the brake
pedal released. (The mode changes each time the switch is pressed.)
Off
The emergency flashers can be
used.
ACCESSORY mode
Some electrical components such
as the audio system can be used.
“Accessory” is displayed on the
main display.
ON mode
All electrical components can be
used.
“Ignition ON” is displayed on the
main display.
QAuto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes or ON
mode (the hybrid system is not operating) for more than an hour with the shift
position in P, the power switch will automatically turn off. However, this func-
tion cannot entirely prevent the 12-volt battery discharge. Do not leave the
vehicle with the power switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods
of time when the hybrid system is not operating.
QSounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle
P. 96
QElectronic key battery depletion
P. 270
QWhen the ambient temperature is low, such as during winter driving con-
ditions
OWhen starting the hybrid system, the flashing time of the “READY” indicator
may be long. Leave the vehicle as it is until the “READY” indicator is steady
on, as steady means the vehicle is able to move.
OWhen the hybrid battery (traction battery) is extremely cold (below approxi-
mately -30C [-22F]) under the influence of the outside temperature, it may
not be possible to start the hybrid system. In this case, try to start the hybrid
system again after the temperature of the hybrid battery increases due to
the outside temperature increase etc.

Q Sensor detection information
O The sensor’s detection areas are limited to the areas around the vehicle’s
bumper.
O Depending on the shape of the obstacle and other factors, the detection dis-
tance may shorten, or detection may be impossible.
O Obstacles may not be detected if they are too close to the sensor.
O There will be a short delay between obstacle detection and display. Even
when traveling at a low speed, if you come too close to an obst acle before
the display and buzzer activate, the display and buzzer may not activate at
all.
O Thin posts or objects lower than the sensor may not be detected when
approached, even if they have been detected once.
O It might be difficult to hear beeps due to the volume of audio system or air
flow noise of the air conditioning system.
Q Obstacle warning function
When an obstacle in the side areas is within the vehicle course while the
vehicle is moving forward or backward, this function inform the driver by the
display and the buzzer. ( P. 452, 454)
Q Obstacle detection in side areas
O Obstacles in the side areas are detected while driving by scanning the side
areas with the side sensors. Recognized obstacles are retained in memory
for up to approximately 2 minutes.
O Obstacles may not be detected in the side areas until the scan completes.
After the power switch is turned on, scanning completes after d riving the
vehicle for a short period of time.
O When an obstacle such as another vehicle, pedestrian or animal is detected
by the side sensors, the obstacle may continue to be detected e ven after it
has left the side sensor detection area.
