PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lights
The main SRS airbag system components are shown above. The SRS air-
bag system is controlled by the airbag sensor assembly. 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 (steering
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. The 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.99)
●All of the doors will be unlocked. ( P.236)
●Vehicles with Secondary Collision Brake: The brakes and stop lights will be controlled automatically. ( P.416)
●The interior lights will turn on automat- ically. ( P.443)
●The emergency flashers will turn on automatically. ( P.526)
●Vehicles with eCall: If any of the fol- lowing situations occur, the system is
designed to send an emergency call to the eCall control 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 assistance required. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati-
cally treats the call as an emergency and helps to dispatch the necessary
emergency services. ( P.66)
• An SRS airbag is deployed. • A seat belt pretensioner is activated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy in
the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold level (the level of force corresponding to an approxi-
mately 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph] frontal collision with a fixed wall that does not move or deform).
However, this threshold velocity will be
considerably higher in the following situ-
ations:
• If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a parked vehicle or sign pole, which can move or deform on impact
• If the vehicle is involved in an under- ride collision, such as a collision in which the front of the vehicle “under-
rides”, or goes under, the bed of a truck
●Depending on the type of collision, it is possible that only the seat belt preten-sioners will activate.
■SRS airbag deployment conditions
(SRS side and curtain shield air- bags)
●The SRS side and curtain shield air-bags will deploy in the event of an impact that exceeds the set threshold
level (the level of force corresponding to the impact force produced by an approximately 1500 kg [3300 lb.] vehi-
cle colliding with the vehicle cabin from a direction perpendicular to the vehicle orientation at an approximate
speed of 20 - 30 km/h [12 - 18 mph]).
●Both SRS curtain shield airbags may

A pressure level 50 kPa (0.5 kgf/cm2 or
bar, 7 psi) lower than the specified
value will cause a worsening of several
percentage points.
■When driving on highways,
use the EV/HV mode selection
switch to drive in HV mode
The power consumption will
increase significantly if the vehicle
is driven in EV mode on highways.
■Do not load unnecessary
objects in the vehicle
Driving with objects weighing 100
kg (220 lb.) in the vehicle will
worsen the electrical and fuel effi-
ciency by approximately 3%.
Air resistance also greatly affects
electrical and fuel efficiency.
Remove any exterior accessories
such as a roof luggage carrier when
they are not being used.
The running resistance of snow
tires is high and they will worsen
electrical and fuel efficiency.
Replace them with standard tires
as soon as they are no longer
needed.
■Know your vehicle’s electrical
and fuel efficiency
If you know your vehicle’s daily
electrical and fuel efficiency, you
will understand the benefits of Eco
drive.
Use the Power Consumption/Fuel
Economy, ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance/“Eco Score” and other data
displayed on the multi-information display.
The following indicate that charging
has been carried out properly.
The charging indicator of the
charging port turns off
“Charging Complete” is dis-
played on the multi-information
display when a door is opened
with the power switch off
(P.131)
Regardless of the type of power
source or whether the charging
schedule function is used, charging
is completed if the above can be
confirmed.

tion rate of the electricity when EV driv-
ing is performed and equivalent to the
fuel consumption for the gasoline vehi-
cles. For this vehicle, electricity con-
sumed per 100 km (“kWh/100 km”) is
displayed as electricity consumption on
each screen.
■EV driving range
●When the air conditioning system is
operating, is displayed next to
the EV driving range and the EV driv-
ing range with the air conditioning sys-
tem on is displayed.
●The EV driving range may shorten
even when not driving due to power
consumption by the system.
●For details, refer to “EV driving range”
(P.103)
■Distance to empty
●This distance is computed based on
your average fuel consumption. As a
result, the actual distance that can be
driven may differ from that displayed.
●When only a small amount of fuel is
added to the tank, the display may not
be updated. When refueling, turn the
power switch off. If the vehicle is refu-
eled without turning the power switch
off, the display may not be updated.
●When “Refuel” is displayed, the
remaining fuel amount is low and the
distance that can be driven with the
remaining fuel cannot be calculated.
Refuel immediately.
