361-1. For safe use
Driver airbag
Front passenger occupant classification sensors
Knee airbag
SRS warning light
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising
etc., may be sustained from SRS
airbags, due to the extremely high
speed deployment (inflation) by
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and
inflator) as well as the front seats,
parts of the front and rear pillars,
and roof side rails, may be hot for
several minutes. T he airbag itself
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped
and fuel supply to the engine will
be stopped. ( P.91)
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.199)
●The brakes and st op lights will be
controlled automatically.
( P.376)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.405)
●The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. ( P.498)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of
the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency
services. ( P.65)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-
vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy
in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level
(the level of forc e corresponding
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will

Plug-in hybrid system
the AC charging cable without
supervision. Also, keep the
AC charging cable out of
reach of infants.
When charging with a char-
ger, follow the procedures for
using each charger.
When charging using a public
charging facility, check the
setting of the charging sched-
ule function.
• When the charging schedule is
registered, temporarily turn off
the function or turn “Charge Now”
on. ( P.137, 142)
• When the charging schedule is set to on, charg ing will not start
even if the AC charging cable is
connected. Also, charging fee
may occur due to connection of
the AC charging cable.
Before charging, always check
the following items.
The parking brake is applied.
( P.287)
Lights such as the head-
lights, emergency flashers
and interior lights etc. are
turned off.
If these light switches are turned
on, then th ese features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time
will increase.
The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.280) Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging
cable is in good condition.
(
P.106)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may
differ depending on the state of
the vehicle, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from near the rear seat. ( P.91)
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in accordance
with the operation of the air condi-
tioning system or “Battery Cooler”
( P.116).
●During and after charging, the rear
seat and its surrounding area in
which the onboard traction battery
charger is installed may get warm.
●The surface of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) may become hot, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Depending on radio wave condi-
tions, interference may be heard
on the radio.
●The current charging condition
and the estimated time until
charging will complete can be
checked on the mu lti-information
display.
■Capacity reduction of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
The capacity of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) will decline gradu-
ally when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is in use. The rate at which
it declines will diff er in accordance
with environmental conditions and
the way in which the vehicle is used.
Observing the fo llowing can help
Confirm the following

Vehicle status information and indicators
●Displays the outside temperature
within the range of -40°F (-40°C)
to 122°F (50°C).
●When the outside temperature is
approximately 37°F (3°C) or
lower, the indicator will flash
for approximately 10 seconds,
then stay on.
■Liquid crystal display
P.171
■Customization
Settings (e. g. meter display) can be
changed on the screen of the
multi-informat ion display. (P.177)
Switches the items of the odom-
eter, trip meter A and trip meter
B by pressing the “ODO TRIP”
switch.
When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the
switch will reset the trip meter.
The brightness of the instrument
panel lights can be adjusted by
turning the dial.WARNING
■The information display at
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before u sing the liquid
crystal informat ion display. At
extremely low temperatures, the
display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may
be delayed.
For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and
the new shift range appearing on
the display. This lag could cause
the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if
“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop
in a Safe Place See Owner’s
Manual” is shown on the multi-
information displa y. In this case,
immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and c heck the engine
after it has cooled completely.
