Tips for enhancing the distance to empty
The distance to empty vary depending on the charge level of the high voltage battery,
weather, temperature, duration of the battery use, terrain, driving habits, etc.
You can increase the distance to empty by driving the vehicle following the instructions
below.
• The air resistance increases rapidly as the electric vehicle drives faster, so avoid speeding to increase the distance to empty and the electric energy economy.
• Rapid acceleration consumes a lot of driving energy and rapid deceleration limits the regenerative braking. Gradually depress and release the accelerator pedal when
accelerating or decelerating to maintain speed.
• If you operate the air conditioner or heater too much, the high voltage battery uses excessive electricity. This may reduce the distance to empty. Therefore, set the cabin
temperature to 72 °F (22 °C) AUTO level 2. Various assessment tests have been used to
verify that this setting maintains optimal energy consumption rates. Especially in
winter, reducing heating and using heated seats instead can significantly increase the
distance to empty. Turn off the air conditioner or heater if you do not need them.
• When using the air conditioner or heater, the energy consumption is reduced if recirculation mode is selected instead of fresh mode. Fresh mode requires a large
amount of energy consumption as the outside air has to be reheated or cooled.
• Close the windows while driving. Driving with the windows open increases air resistance and the usage of the air conditioner or heater.
• When using the air conditioner or heater while driving alone, use the DRIVER ONLY function.
• Always maintain specified tire pressures and use tires for electric vehicles.
• Do not use unnecessary electrical components while driving.
• Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
• Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
When the distance to empty is insufficient
• When the High voltage battery level warning light is displayed, immediately charge the vehicle at a nearby charging station.
• Drive energy efficiently following the “Tips for enhancing the distance to empty.”
• When the battery level is 0 %, do not try to drive. Move to a safe place and call for help.

Important Safety
Precautions
You will find many safety precautions and
recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual. The
safety precautions in this section are
among the most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all
types of accidents. Airbags are designed
to supplement seat belts, not to replace
them. So even though your vehicle is
equipped with airbags, always make sure
you and your passengers wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly.
Restrain All Children
All children under age 13 should ride in
your vehicle properly restrained in a rear
seat, not the front seat. Infants and small
children should be restrained in an
appropriate child restraint system. Larger
children should use a booster seat with
the lap/shoulder belt until they can use
the seat belt properly without a booster
seat.
Airbag Hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can also
cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them, or
who are not properly restrained. Infants,
young children, and short adults are at the
greatest risk of being injured by an
inflating airbag. Follow all instructions
and warnings in this manual.
Driver Distraction
Driver distraction presents a serious and
potentially deadly danger, especially for
inexperienced drivers. Safety should be
the primary concern when behind the
wheel and drivers need to be aware of the wide array of potential distractions, such
as drowsiness, reaching for objects,
eating, personal grooming, other
passengers, and using mobile phones.
Drivers can become distracted when they
take their eyes and attention off the road
or their hands off the wheel to focus on
activities other than driving. To reduce
your risk of distraction and an accident:
• Set up your mobile devices (for
example, mp3 players, phones,
navigation units, etc.) only when your
vehicle is parked or safely stopped.
• Only use your mobile device when allowed by laws and conditions permit
safe use. Never text or email while
driving. Most countries have laws
prohibiting drivers from texting. Some
countries and cities also prohibit
drivers from using handheld phones.
• Never let the use of a mobile device distract you from driving. You have a
responsibility to your passengers and
others on the road to always drive
safely with your hands on the wheel as
well as your eyes and attention on the
road.
Control Your Speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash
injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed the greater the risk, but serious
injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current
conditions regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
Keep Your Vehicle In Safe
Condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical
failure can be extremely hazardous. To
reduce the possibility of such problems,
check your tire pressures and condition
frequently and perform all regularly
scheduled maintenance.

Safety Precautions
Adjusting the seats so that you are sitting
in a safe and comfortable position plays
an important role for the safety of the
driver and passengers as much as seat
belts and airbags when in an accident.
WARNING Do not use a cushion that reduces friction
between the seat and the passenger. The
passenger’s hips may slide under the lap
portion of the seat belt during an accident
or a sudden stop.
Serious or fatal internal injuries could
result because the seat belt cannot
operate properly.

Airbags
You can take steps to reduce the risk of
being injured by an inflating airbag.
Sitting too close to an airbag greatly
increases the risk of injury in the event the
airbag inflates. Move your seat as far back
as possible from front airbags while still
maintaining control of the vehicle.
WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death from an inflating airbag, take the
following precautions:
• Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear as possible while maintaining the ability
to control the vehicle.
• Adjust the front passenger seat as far to the rear as possible.
• Hold the steering wheel by the rim with your hands at the 9 o’clock and 3
o’clock positions to minimize the risk of
injuries to your hands and arms.
• NEVER place anything or anyone between you and the airbag.
• Do not allow the front passenger to place feet or legs on the dashboard to
minimize the risk of leg injuries.

Seat belts
Always fasten your seat belt before
starting any trip. At all times, passengers
should sit upright and be properly
restrained. Infants and small children
must be restrained in appropriate Child
Restraint Systems. Children who have
outgrown a booster seat and adults must
be restrained using the seat belts.
WARNING Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat belt:
• NEVER use one seat belt for more than one occupant.
• Always position the seatback upright with the lap portion of the seat belt
snug and low across the hips.
• NEVER allow children or small infants, or pets to ride on a passenger’s lap.
• Do not route the seat belt across your neck, across sharp edges, or reroute
the shoulder strap away from your
body.
• Do not allow the seat belt to become caught or jammed.

Front Seats
WARNING Take the following precautions when
adjusting your seat:
• NEVER attempt to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving. The seat could
respond with unexpected movement
and may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
• Do not place anything under the front seats. Loose objects in the driver’s foot
area could interfere with the operation
of the foot pedals, causing an accident.

• Do not allow anything to interfere with the normal position and proper locking
of the seatback.
• Do not place a cigarette lighter on the floor or seat. When you operate the
seat, gas may exit out of the lighter
causing a fire.
• Use extreme caution when picking up small objects trapped under the seats
or between the seat and the center
console. Your hands might be cut or
injured by the sharp edges of the seat
mechanism.
• If there are occupants in the rear seats, be careful while adjusting the front seat
position.
• Make sure that the seat is locked in place after the adjustment. If not, the
seat might move unexpectedly
resulting in an accident.

CAUTION To prevent injury:
• Do not adjust your seat while wearing your seat belt. Moving the seat cushion
forward may cause strong pressure on
your abdomen.
• Do not allow your hands or fingers to get caught in the seat mechanisms
while the seat is moving.

WARNING NEVER allow children in the vehicle
unattended. The power seats are
operable when the vehicle is turned off.
