●Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave recep-tion conditions, it may be detected by
the antenna outside the cabin and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the elec-
tronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within
the effective range, the doors may be locked or unlocked by anyone. How-ever, only the doors detecting the
electronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid system if the electronic key
is near the window.
●The doors may unlock or lock if a
large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 30 seconds if the doors
are not opened and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is used
to lock the doors when the electronic key is near the vehicle, there is a pos-sibility that the door may not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock or unlock sen-sor while wearing gloves may prevent
lock or unlock operation.
●When the lock operation is performed
using the lock sensor, recognition sig- nals will be shown up to two consecu-tive times. After this, no recognition
signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while
the electronic key is within the effec- tive range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow
the following correction procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 2
m (6 ft.) or more away from the vehi- cle. (Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-sav- ing mode to disable the smart entry & start system. ( P.153)
●If the electronic key is inside the vehi- cle and a door handle becomes wet
during a car wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information dis-play and a buzzer will sound outside
the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work prop-erly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean the lock sensor
and attempt to operate it again.
●A sudden handle operation or a han-
dle operation immediately after enter- ing the effective range may prevent the doors from being unlocked. Touch
the door unlock sensor and check that the doors are unlocked before pulling the door handle again.
●If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly lon-
ger to unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
■When the vehicle is not driven for extended periods
●To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 2 m (6
ft.) of the vehicle.
●The smart entry & start system can be
deactivated in advance. ( P.494)
●Setting the electronic key to battery-
saving mode helps to reduce key bat- tery depletion. ( P.153)
■To operate the system properly
Make sure to carry the electronic key
when operating the system. Do not get the electronic key too close to the vehi-cle when operating the system from the

WARNING
■If the vehicle becomes stuck (AWD models)
Do not spin the wheels excessively when any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
etc. This may damage the driveline components or propel the vehicle for-ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time during driving, as this may restrain the hybrid system output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if
the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there
for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to
avoid damaging the wheels, under- side of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your vehicle.

4-1. Before driving
Driving
at a time to prevent steering
error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle
distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the
distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent
to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer.
Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the
vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■Transmission information
To maintain engine braking effi-
ciency and charging system perfor-
mance when using engine braking,
do not use the transmission in D.
( P.197)
■If the engine overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the engine overheating. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates that the engine is over-
heating, turn the air conditioning off
immediately, leave the road and
stop the vehicle in a safe place.
( P.477)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift lever to P.
