491-2. Child safety
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en

For safety and security
1-2.Child safety
Riding with children
Observe the following pre-
cautions 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-pro-
tector lock or the window
lock switch to avoid children
opening the door while driv-
ing or operating the power
window accidentally.
( P.171, 214)
Do not let small children
operate equipment which
may catch or pinch body
parts, such as the power
window, hood, back door,
seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehi-
cle
Never leave children unattended
in the vehicle, and never allow
children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the
vehicle or shift the vehicle into
neutral. There is also a danger
that children ma y injure them-
selves by playing with the side
windows or other features of the
vehicle. In addition, heat build-up
or extremely cold temperatures
inside the vehicle can be fatal to
children.

732-1. Electric vehicle system
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
2
Electric Vehicle system
Provides electricity to various vehicle systems such as the SRS airbags,
headlights, wipers, etc.
*: AWD models only
■When braking (regenera-
tive braking)
The electric motor (traction
motor) charges the traction bat-
tery.
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 out-
lets can be used for charging.
Procedures are different from
refueling a conventional vehi-
cle. Therefore, make sure to
read the following thoroughly.
 Charging equipment ( P.85)
 AC charging cable ( P. 8 7 )
 Power sources that can be
used ( P.102)
 Things to know before
charging ( P.102)
 How to charge your vehicle
( P.105, 113)
 When charging cannot be
performed normally ( P.133)■Regenerative braking
In the following situ ations, kinetic
energy is converted to electric
energy and deceler ation force can
be obtained in con junction 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 trac-
tion 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 proce-
dures. ( P.541)
■When not using t he 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 dis-
charged. In this c ase, the cooling
fan may operate, however it is not
a malfunction.
●To p r e v e n t t h e 1 2 - v o l t b a t t e r y f r o m
being discharged, do not leave the
charging port lid open or the
charging cable connected to the
vehicle.

WARNING
■Warnings for using My Room
Mode
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or a seri ous health hazard.
●Do not leave children, people
who need care, or pets inside
the vehicle. The temperature
inside the vehicle may become
high or low due to features such
as the automatic shut-off. The
children, people who need care,
or pets left inside the vehicle
may suffer heatstroke dehydra-
tion or hypothermia. Also, since
the wipers, etc., can be oper-
ated, there may be accidental
operation, possibly leading to
an accident.
●Use the mode after sufficiently
checking the vicinity of the vehi-
cle for safety hazards.
