For safety and security
Driver airbag
Front passenger occupant classification sensors
Knee airbag
SRS warning light
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. 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 (steer-
ing 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. T he 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.89)
●All of the doors will be unlocked.
( P.223)
●The brakes and st op lights will be
controlled automatically.
( P.408)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.436)
●The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. ( P.534)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the following situations
occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response 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 assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency
services. ( P.65)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti-
vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe
rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy
in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level
(the level of forc e corresponding
to an approximately 12 - 18 mph
[20 - 30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will

1182-2. Charging
This vehicle has been designed
to allow charging from an exter-
nal power source using a AC
charging cable for exclusive use
with standard household AC
outlets.
However, the vehicle differs
greatly from standard household
electrical goods in the following
ways, and incorrect usage could
cause fire or electric shock, pos-
sibly leading to death or serious
injury.
When charging, a large
amount of current will flow for
a long time.
Charging can be conducted
outdoors.
To charge properly, follow the
procedure after reading the
explanation below. Charging is
intended to be carried out by
licensed drivers only who prop-
erly understand the charging
procedure.
Do not allow children to use
the AC charging cable without supervision. Also, keep the
AC charging cable out of
reach of infants.
When charging with a char-
ger, follow the procedures for
using each charger.
When charging using a public
charging facility, check the
setting of the charging sched-
ule function.
• When the charging schedule is
registered, temporarily turn off
the function or turn “Charge Now”
on. ( P.135, 141, 147)
• When the charging schedule is set to on, charging will not start
even if the AC charging cable is
connected. Also, charging fee
may occur due to connection of
the AC charging cable.
Before charging, always check
the following items.
The parking brake is applied.
( P.314)
Lights such as the head-
lights, emergency flashers
and interior lights etc. are
turned off.
If these light swit ches are turned
on, then these features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time
will increase.
The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.307)
WARNING
■When the AC charging cable
is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the AC
charging cable has been dam-
aged, the shift position may
change from P to another position
and the vehicle could move, pos-
sibly leading to an accident.
Charging precautions
Confirm the following
before charging

Vehicle status information and indicators
●Displays the outside temperature
within the range of -40°F (-40°C)
to 122°F (50°C).
●When the outside temperature is
approximately 37°F (3°C) or
lower, the indicator will flash
for approximately 10 seconds,
then stay on.
■Liquid crystal display
P.185
■Customization
Settings (e. g. meter display) can be
changed on the screen of the
multi-informat ion display. (P.191)
Switches the items of the odom-
eter, trip meter A and trip meter
B by pressing the “ODO TRIP”
switch.
When the trip meter is dis-
played, pressing and holding the
switch will reset the trip meter.
The brightness of the instrument
panel lights can be adjusted by
turning the dial.
WARNING
■The information display at
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before u sing the liquid
crystal informat ion display. At
extremely low temperatures, the
display monitor may respond
slowly, and display changes may
be delayed.
For example, there is a lag
between the driver’s shifting and
the new shift range appearing on
the display. This lag could cause
the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an
accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if
“Engine Coolant Temp High Stop
in a Safe Place See Owner’s
Manual” is shown on the multi-
information displa y. In this case,
immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and c heck the engine
after it has cooled completely.

●When an exterior alarm sounds
once for 5 seconds
●When an interior alarm pings con-
tinuously
■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving function will be
activated in order to prevent the
electronic key battery and the 12-
volt battery from being discharged
while the vehicle is not in operation
for a long time.
●In the following situations, the
smart key system may take some
time to unlock the doors. Also, the
interior lights may not turn on
when the doors are unlocked.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approxi mately 11.5 ft.
(3.5 m) of the outside of the vehi-
cle for 40 seconds or longer.
• The smart key system has not been used for 5 days or longer.
●If the smart key system has not
been used for 14 days or longer,
the doors canno t be unlocked at
any doors except the driver’s
door. In this case, take hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the
wireless remote c
ontrol or the
mechanical key, to unlock the
doors.
■Turning an electronic key to
battery-saving mode
●When battery-saving mode is set,
battery depletion is minimized by
stopping the electronic key from
receiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing
and holding .
Confirm that the ele ctronic key indi-
cator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is
set, the smart key system cannot be
used. To cancel the function, press
any of the electronic key buttons.
●Electronic keys that will not be
used for long periods of time can
be set to the battery-saving mode
in advance.
■When electronic key function
stops
If the position of the electronic key
has not changed for a certain
amount of time suc h as when the
electronic key is left somewhere, the
function of the elec tronic key stops
to reduce depletion of the battery.
In this case, funct ion can automati-
cally be restored by moving the
position of the key such as by lifting
it up.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak
radio waves. In the following situa-
tions, the communication between
