Plug-in hybrid system■Charging from an external
power source (P.121)
This is a charging method used
when charging from an AC out-
let (120 V) with the AC charging
cable equipped to the vehicle or
charging at a public charging
station.
The charging start time (or depar-
ture time) and day can be set to
carry out charging using the
charging schedule at the desired
date and time. ( P.128)
■Using the hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge
mode ( P.77)
The plug-in hybrid system can
be switched to hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode
to charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery) using electricity
generated by gasoline engine
operation.
The maximum charge amount in
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge mode is approximately 80%
of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power
source.
This vehicle is equipped with
several functions that are linked
with charging.
■“My Room Mode” ( P.148)
When the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle, electri-
cal components such as the air
conditioning system or audio
system can be used using the
external power source
*.
*: The power of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) may be used
depending on the situation.
■“Battery Heater”
When the outside temperature
is low and the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehi-
cle, this function automatically
warms the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) until it reaches or
exceeds a certain temperature.
“Battery Heater” will operate
when the “Battery Heater” of the
“Charging Settings” on the multi-
information display is on.
( P.193)
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) warming control
(Alaska and Canada only)
This control operates after the
AC charging cable remains con-
nected to the vehicle for 3 days
and “Battery Heater” automati-
cally stops. It automatically insu-
lates the hybrid battery (traction
battery) in extremely low tem-

WARNING
■Cautions during setting up
the display
As the hybrid system needs to be
operating during setting up the
display, ensure that the vehicle is
parked in a place with adequate
ventilation. In a closed area such
as a garage, exhaust gases
including harmful carbon monox-
ide (CO) may collect and enter
the vehicle. This may lead to
death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent 12-vo lt battery dis-
charge, ensure that the hybrid
system is operating while setting
up the display features.

Close all the doors and win-
dows, and turn the power
switch to OFF.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
 P.587
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling,
your vehicle has a fuel tank opening
that only accommodates the spe-
cial nozzle on unle aded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank
cap
The fuel tank of your vehicle
has a special structure,
which requires a reduction
in fuel tank pressure before
refueling. After the opener
switch has been pressed, it
will take several seconds
until the vehicle is ready for
refueling.
Before refueling the vehi-
cle
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure
to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●After exiting the vehicle and
before opening the fuel door,
touch an unpainted metal sur-
face to discharge any static
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before
refueling because sparks result-
ing from static electricity can
cause fuel vapors to ignite while
refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the
fuel tank cap and turn it slowly
to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be
heard when the f uel tank cap is
loosened. Wait until the sound
cannot be heard before fully
removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may
spray out of the filler neck and
cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has
not discharged static electricity
from their body to come close to
an open fuel tank.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that
are harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to
ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or
touch any person or object that
is statically charged. This may
cause static electricity to build
up, resulting in a possible igni-
tion hazard.

4767-1. Maintenance and care
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in
the vehicle, such as on the floor,
on the rear seats, in the DC/DC
Converter air intake vent, junc-
tion box or in the luggage com-
partment. (P.89)
Doing so may cause the DC/DC
Converter, electrical compo-
nents, etc. to malfunction or
catch fire.
●Do not get any of the SRS com-
ponents or wiring in the vehicle
interior wet.
(  P.34)
An electrical malfunction may
cause the airbags to deploy or
not function properly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
●Vehicles with wireless charger:
Do not let the wireless charger
(  P.447) get wet. Failure to do
so may cause the charger to
become hot and cause burns or
could cause electric shock
resulting in death or serious
injury.
■Cleaning the interior (espe-
cially instrument panel)
Do not use a polis h wax or polish
cleaner. The instrument panel
may reflect off the windshield,
obstructing the dr iver’s view and
leading to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use the following types
of detergent, as they may dis-
color the vehicle interior or
cause streaks or damage to
painted surfaces:
• Non-seat portions: Organic sub- stances such as benzene or
gasoline, alkaline or acidic solu-
tions, dye, and bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solu- tions, such as thinner, benzene,
and alcohol
●Do not use a polish wax or pol-
ish cleaner. The instrument
panel’s or other interior part’s
painted surface may be dam-
aged.
■Preventing damage to leather
surfaces
Observe the following precautions
to avoid damage to and deteriora-
tion of leather surfaces:
●Remove any dust or dirt from
leather surfaces immediately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to
direct sunlight for extended peri-
ods of time. Park the vehicle in
the shade, especially during
summer.
●Do not place items made of
vinyl, plastic, or containing wax
on the upholstery, as they may
stick to the leather surface if the
vehicle interior heats up signifi-
cantly.

5247-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
1Turn the power switch off.
Confirm that the charging connec-
tor is not connect ed. Also, do not
use the Remote Air Conditioning
System during the procedure.

WARNING
■To prevent battery explosion
or leakage of flammable liq-
uid or gas
●Replace the battery with a new
battery of the same type. If a
wrong type of battery is used, it
may explode.
●Do not expose batteries to
extremely low pressure due to
high altitude or extremely high
temperatures.
●Do not burn, bre ak or cut a bat-
tery.
NOTICE
■When replacing the battery
Use a flathead screwdriver of
appropriate size. Applying exces-
sive force may deform or damage
the cover.
■For normal operation after
replacing the battery
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidents:
●Always work with dry hands.
Moisture may cau se the battery
to rust.
●Do not touch or move any other
component inside the remote
control.
●Do not bend either of the battery
terminals.
Checking and replac-
ing fuses
If any of the electrical com-
ponents do not operate, a
fuse may have blown. If this
happens, check and replace
the fuses as necessary.

SAE 0W-16
SAE 0W-16 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-16 is not available,
SAE 0W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-16 at the next oil
change.Outside temperature
Oil viscosity (0W-16 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-16 indicates the characteristic of the oil
which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting
of the engine in cold weather.
• The 16 in 0W-16 indicates the viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher
viscosity (one with a higher
value) may be better suited if
the vehicle is operated at high
speeds, or under extreme
load conditions.
How to read oil container label:
API registered mark is added to
some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.
