Quick Reference Guide
Paddle Shifters (P334)
Paddle shifters allow you to shif t gears much like a manual transmission (1st throu gh 9th). This is useful for regenerative braking.
You cannot shift up or down while in EV mode.
When the transmission is in (D (D-paddle shift mode)The vehicle will go into the sequential mode momentarily, and the gear selection
indicator becomes more prominent.
The sequential mode is automatically canceled and the gear selection indicator
returns to ordinary display un der the following conditions.
•Hold the (+ paddle shifter for a few seconds.
•Once you start traveling at a constant speed.•The vehicle comes to a complete stop.
•When you change to another Integrated Dynamics System mode.
The sequential mode automatically shifts under following condition
•Accelerator pedal depressed beyond the click.•Engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s red zone.
•Engine speed reaches idle speed while deceleration.
When the transmission is in M (Manual) modeThe vehicle will go into the sequential mode, and the gear position indicator goes
off and only the gear selection indicator is displayed.
You can cancel this mode by pressing the button, pulling the
(+ paddle
shifter for a few seconds or changing Integrated Dynamics System mode to
QUIET . When the sequential mode is canceled, the display is changed from only
the gear selection indicator to both of the gear position indicator and the gear
selection indicator.
The transmission automatically shifts up from 1st to 2nd and does not
automatically shift up between 2nd and 9th gear.D/M

Gauges and Displays
Gauges
Gauges include the speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, High
Voltage battery charge level gauge, ASSIST/CHARGE gauge, SH-AWD®
temperature gauge, and related indicators. They are displayed when the power
mode is in ON.
Displays your driving speed in mph or km/h.
Shows the number of engine revolutions per minute.
■Engine speed red-zone indication
Alerts you when the engi ne speed is near the tachometer’s red zone.
When the engine speed exceed s 7,000 rpm, the outer ring of the tachometer flashes
in red.
To protect the engine from damage, never drive with the tachometer in its red zone.
Displays the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
■Speedometer

Shows the remaining High Voltage battery charge level.
■Electric motor
The degree to which the electric motor is be ing powered is displayed by the readings
on the ASSIST side.
■Battery charge in progress
The degree to which the High Voltage battery is being charged is displayed by the
readings on the CHARGE side.
■Temperature Gauge
■High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge
■ASSIST/CHARGE Gauge
1Temperature Gauge
Driving with the temperat ure gauge pointer in the
upper zone can cause serious engine damage. Pull
safely to the side of th e road and allow engine
temperature to return to normal. 2 Overheating P. 450
1High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge
The High Voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions:
•When the 12-volt battery has been replaced.
•When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.
•When the High Voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level reading will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperature of the High Voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s
charging capacity. If temp erature changes cause the
battery’s capacity to change, the number of
indicators in the battery ch arge level gauge may also
change, even if the amount of charging remains the
same.
