1-4. Hybrid system
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and
the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warn-
ing light ( P.377) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid sys-tem may not be able to start. (The stan-
dard amount of fuel is about 5.8 L [1.6 gal., 1.3 Imp. gal.] [vehicles without rear wiper] or 6.3 L [1.7 gal., 1.4 Imp. gal.]
[vehicles with rear wiper] when the vehi- cle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add
extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)
■Electromagnetic waves
●High voltage parts and cables on
hybrid vehicles incorporate electro- magnetic shielding, and therefore emit approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as conven- tional gasoline powered vehicles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-ference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■Hybrid battery (traction battery)
The hybrid battery (traction battery) has a limited service life. The lifespan of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) can change in accordance with driving style
and driving conditions.
■Starting the hybrid system in an extremely cold environment
When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) 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 tempera-
ture of the hybrid battery increases due to the outside temperature increase etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis-
sions according to regulation ECE100 (Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High voltage precautions
This vehicle has high voltage DC and
AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys- tem. DC and AC high voltage is very dangerous and can cause severe
burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high voltage parts, cables or their connectors.
●The hybrid system will become hot after starting as the system uses
high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-ture, and always obey the warning
labels attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service plug
access hole located under the left side of the rear seat. The service plug is used only when the vehicle
is serviced and is subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury:
●Pull your vehicle off the road, apply
the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, and turn the hybrid sys-tem off.
●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables and connectors.

■Fuel gauge and driving range dis-
play
The fuel gauge and driving range dis- play are linked. If the fuel gauge and
driving range display do not update after refueling a small amount, they can be updated by performing the following pro-
cedure:
1 Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
Wait until the fuel in the fuel tank stabi- lizes.
2 Press the display change button to
change the odometer and trip meter display to the odometer.
3 Turn the power switch off.
4 While pressing and holding the dis- play change button, turn the power
switch to ON.
5 Continue holding the display change button for approximately 5 seconds.
Release the button when the odometer
begins blinking.
Updating will be complete when the odometer blinks for approximately 5
seconds and then returns to the normal display.

WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crys-tal information display. At extremely
low temperatures, the information dis- play monitor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear
number appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and
excessive engine braking and possi- bly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is in the red zone (H). In this case,
immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and check the engine after it
has cooled completely. ( P.414)
