Driving
5-6.Driving tips
Use fluids that are appropriate
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the
12-volt battery.
 Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires or purchase a
set of tire chains for the front
tires.
*
Ensure that all tires are the same
size and brand, and that chains
match the size of the tires.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted
on vehicles with 235/55R19 tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Pre-winter preparations
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
■Driving with tire chains
(except 235/55R19 tires)
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the
vehicle being unable to be driven
safely, and may cause death or
serious injury.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit specifi ed for the tire
chains being used, or 30 mph
(50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●Avoid driving on bumpy road
surfaces or over potholes.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
●Slow down sufficiently before
entering a curve to ensure that
vehicle control is maintained.
●Do not use LTA (Lane Tracing
Assist) system.

Repeatedly flashes 4 times
continuously (Orange)
■The wireless charger can be
operated when
The power switch i s in ACC or ON.
■Usable portable devices
●Qi standard wireless charge stan-
dard can be used on compatible
devices. However, not all Qi stan-
dard devices and compatibility are
guaranteed.
●Starting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically supplied porta-
ble devices of no more than 5W.
●However, charging exceeding 5 W
is supported by the following por-
table devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is sup-
ported by iPhone’s that support
7.5 W charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is sup-
ported by portable devices compli-
ant with EPP output as defined by
WPC standard Ver1.2.4.
■Using the smart key system
If the smart key system detects the
key while a device is being charged,
charging will be temporarily
stopped.
■When covers and accessories
are attached to portable devices
Do not charge in situations where
cover and accessories not able to
handle Qi are attached to the porta-
ble device. Depending on the type
of cover (including the certain genu-
ine manufacture parts) and acces-
sory, it may not be possible to
charge. When charging is not per-
formed even with the portable
device placed on the charge area,
remove the cover and accessories.
■While charging, noise enters
the AM radio
●Turn off the wireless charger and
confirm that the noise has
decreased. If the noise
decreases, continuously pushing
the power supply switch of the
wireless charger for 2 seconds,
the frequency of the charger can
be changed and the noise can be
reduced. Also, on that occasion,
the operation indicator light will
flash orange 2 times.
●iPhone’s use a particular fre-
quency for rapid charging.
Depending on the iOS version,
rapid charging may not be per-
formed while switching frequen-

4907-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
check the oil level on the dip-
stick.
■Checking the engine oil
1 Park the vehicle on level
ground. After warming up the
engine and turning off the
hybrid system, wait more
than 5 minutes for the oil to
drain back into the bottom of
the engine.
2 Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out.
3 Wipe the dipstick clean.
4 Reinsert the dipstick fully.
5 Holding a rag under the end,
pull the dipstick out and
check the oil level.

The shape of the dipstick may differ
depending on the type of vehicle or
engine.
6Wipe the dipstick and reinsert
it fully.
■Checking the oil type and
preparing the items needed
Make sure to check the oil type
and prepare the items needed
before adding oil.

■Adding engine oil
If the oil level is below or near
the low level mark, add engine
oil of the same type as that
already in the engine.
1 Remove the oil filler cap by
turning it counterclockwise.
2 Add engine oil slowly, check-
ing the dipstick.
3 Install the oil filler cap by
turning it clockwise.

*: The engine oil capacity is a reference quantity to be used whe n changing
the engine oil. Warm up the engine and turn off the hybrid system, wait
more than 5 minutes, a nd check the oil level on the dipstick.

Vehicle specifications
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.
