◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
●Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) without
having to use gasoline engine power.
●Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
◆When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slow-
ing down.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to high fuel and electricity consumption.
Check traffic reports before leaving and avoid delays as much as
possible. When driving in a traffic jam, gently release the brake
pedal to allow the vehicle to move forward slightly while avoiding
overuse of the accelerator pedal. Doing so can help control exces-
sive electricity and fuel consumption.
◆Highway driving
●Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before
stopping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release
the accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of
electrical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
●Electricity consumption will increase significantly when driving at
high speeds in EV mode. If there will be a long distance to the
next external charging point after leaving a freeway, it is recom-
mended to drive in HV mode while on the freeway and change to
EV mode after leaving the freeway.

Before charging, always check the following items.
●The parking brake is applied. (P. 336)
●The headlights are switched off or set to AUTO, and lights such as
the emergency flashers and interior lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The power switch is off. (P. 323)
Before charging, make sure that each part of the charging cable is in
good condition. (P. 126)
■Safety functions
●The hybrid system will not start while the charging cable is attached to the
vehicle, even if the power switch is operated.
●If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving will not be possi-
ble.
●When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position can-
not be changed from P to another position.
■During charging
The followings occur, however, it does not indicate a malfunction.
●The charging starting time may differ depending on the state of the vehicle.
●During charging, the sound of the fan may be heard from the onboard trac-
tion battery charger cooling air intake vents. (P. 154)
●During and after charging, the rear seat and its surrounding area in which
the onboard traction battery charger is installed may get warm.
Confirm the following before charging
Inspecting the charging cable
