4-2. Driving procedures
●The temperature of the hybrid system
is high. The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
●The temperature of the hybrid system
is low. The vehicle has been left in tempera-tures lower than about 0°C (32°F) for
a long period of time, etc.
●The gasoline engine is warming up.
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) is low.
The remaining battery level indicated in the energy monitor display is low. ( P.123)
●Vehicle speed is high.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill, etc.
●The windshield defogger is in use.
■Switching to EV drive mode when the gasoline engine is cold
If the hybrid system is started while the
gasoline engine is cold, the gasoline engine will start automatically after a short period of time in order to warm up.
In this case, you will become unable to switch to EV drive mode.
After the hybrid system has started and
the “READY” indicator has illuminated, press the EV drive mode switch before the gasoline engine starts to switch to
EV drive mode.
■Automatic cancelation of EV drive mode
When driving in EV drive mode, the gas-
oline engine may start automatically and the vehicle may be driven by the gaso-line engine and electric motor (traction
motor) in the following situations. When EV drive mode is canceled, a buzzer will sound, the EV drive mode indicator will
flash, and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display.
●The hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low.The remaining battery level indicated
in the energy monitor display is low.
( P.123)
●Vehicle speed is high.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed firmly or the vehicle is on a hill, etc.
■Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
EV drive mode’s possible driving dis- tance ranges from a few hundred meters to approximately 1 km (0.6 mile).
However, depending on vehicle condi- tions, there are situations when EV drive mode cannot be used.
(The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level and driving conditions.)
■Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during normal driving (using the gaso-
line engine and electric motor [traction motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
■If “EV Mode Unavailable” is shown on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode is not available. The
reason the EV drive mode is not avail- able (the vehicle is idling, battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher than the
EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator pedal is depressed too much) may be displayed. Use the EV
drive mode when it becomes available.
■If “EV Mode Deactivated” is shown on the multi-information display
The EV drive mode has been automati-
cally canceled. The reason the EV drive mode is not available (the battery charge is low, vehicle speed is higher
than the EV drive mode operating speed range or accelerator pedal is depressed too much) may be displayed. Drive the
vehicle for a while before attempting to turn on the EV drive mode again.

windshield wiper sensitivity
7 Washer/wiper dual oper-
ation
Pulling the lever operates the wipers
and washer.
Wipers will automatically operate a cou-
ple of times after the washer squirts.
■The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The power switch is in ON.
■Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles with rain-sens-ing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the Intermittent wiper interval.
■Raindrop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
●The raindrop sensor judges the amount of raindrops.
An optical sensor is adopted. It may
not operate properly when sunlight from the rising or setting of the sun intermittently strikes the windshield, or
if bugs etc. are present on the wind- shield.
●If the wiper is turned to AUTO mode while the power switch is in ON, the wipers will operate once to show that
AUTO mode is activated.
●If the temperature of the raindrop sen-
sor is 85°C (185°F) or higher, or -15°C (5°F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case, operate
the wipers in any mode other than AUTO mode.
■If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
WARNING
■Caution regarding the use of windshield wipers in AUTO mode (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-
shield wipers)
The windshield wipers may operate unexpectedly if the sensor is touched
or the windshield is subject to vibra- tion in AUTO mode. Take care that your fingers or anything else do not
become caught in the windshield wip- ers.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
This mode employs a radar to detect the presence of vehicles up to approx-
imately 100 m (328 ft.) ahead, d etermines the current vehicle-to-vehicle fol-
lowing distance, and operates to maintain a suitable following distance from
the vehicle ahead. The desired vehicle-to-vehicle distance can also be set
by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle distance switch.
When driving on downhill slopes, the vehicle-to-vehicle distanc e may become
shorter.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed appe ars
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically deceler-
ates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is necessary, the sys-
tem applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at this ti me). The system will
respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle ahead in order t o maintain the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver. Approach warning war ns you when the sys-
tem cannot decelerate sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the
vehicle ahead.
When the vehicle ahead of you stops, your vehicle will also sto p (vehicle is stopped
by system control). After the vehicle ahead starts off, pressin g the “+RES” switch or
depressing the accelerator pedal (start-off operation) will res ume follow-up cruising.
If the start-off operation is not performed, system control con tinues to keep your
vehicle stopped.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
When the turn signal lever is operated and your vehicle moves t o an overtaking lane
while driving at 80 km/h (50 mph) or more, the vehicle will acc elerate to help to over-
take a passing vehicle.
The system’s identification of what is an overtaking lane may b e determined solely
based on the location of the steering wheel in the vehicle (lef t side driver position
versus right side driver position.) If the vehicle is driven to a region where the over-
taking lane is on a different side from where the vehicle is no rmally driven, the vehi-
cle may accelerate when the turn signal lever is operated in th e opposite direction to
the overtaking lane (e.g., if the driver normally operates the vehicle in a region
where the overtaking lane is to the right but then drives to a region where the over-
taking lane is to the left, the vehicle may accelerate when the right turn signal is acti-
vated).
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower than the
set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The syst em then returns to
constant speed cruising.
1 Press the cruise control main
switch to activate the cruise con-
trol.
Dynamic radar cruise control indicator will come on and a message will be dis-played on the multi-information display.
Press the switch again to deactivate the cruise control.
If the cruise control main switch is
pressed and held for 1.5 seconds or more, the system turns on in constant
speed control mode. ( P.259)

2 Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and press the “-SET”
switch to set the speed.
Cruise control “SET” indicator will come on.

1Pressing the cancel switch can-
cels the speed control.
The speed control is also canceled
when the brake pedal is depressed.
(When the vehicle has been stopped by
system control, depressing the brake
pedal does not cancel the setting.)
2 Pressing the “+RES” switch
resumes the cruise control and
returns vehicle speed to the set
speed.
When your vehicle is too close to a
vehicle ahead, and sufficient auto-
matic deceleration via the cruise
control is not possible, the display
will flash and the buzzer will sound
to alert the driver. An example of
this would be if another driver cuts
in front of you while you are follow-
ing a vehicle. Depress the brake
pedal to ensure an appropriate
vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, warnings
may not occur even when the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance is small.
 When the speed of the preceding
vehicle matches or exceeds your
vehicle speed
 When the preceding vehicle is
traveling at an extremely slow
speed
 Immediately after the cruise con-
trol speed was set
 When depressing the accelerator
pedal
When constant speed control mode
is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling
the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance control
mode does not function correctly
due to a dirty radar, etc.
