*: If equipped
QItems to check before locking
the vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of
the alarm and vehicle theft, make
sure of the following:
 Nobody is in the vehicle.
 The side windows and pan-
oramic moon roof (if equipped)
are closed before the alarm is
set.
 No valuables or other personal
items are left in the vehicle.
QSetting
Close the doors and hood, and lock
all the doors using the entry func-
tion or wireless remote control. The
system will be set automatically
after 30 seconds.
The indicator light changes from being
on to flashing when the system is set.
If all doors are closed with hood open,
alarm system can be set. ( P.78)
QCanceling or stopping
Do one of the following to deacti-
vate or stop the alarm:
 Unlock the doors using the entry
function or wireless remote con-
trol.
 Start the hybrid system. (The
alarm will be deactivated or
stopped after a few seconds.)
QSystem maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.
QTriggering of the alarm
The alarm may be triggered in the fol- lowing situations:(Stopping the alarm deactivates the
alarm system.)
Alarm*
The alarm uses light and
sound to give an alert when an
intrusion is detected.
The alarm is triggered in the
following situations when the
alarm is set:
 A locked door is unlocked or
opened in any way other than
using the entry function or
wireless remote control. (The
doors will lock again automati-
cally.)
 The hood is opened.
 The intrusion sensor detects
something moving inside the
vehicle. (Example: an intruder
breaks a window and gets into
the vehicle.)
 The tilt sensor detects a
change of vehicle inclination.

mode after leaving the freeway.
(P.86)
Turn the “A/C” switch off when it
is not needed. Doing so can help
reduce excessive electricity and
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the
burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce electricity and fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excessive and unnec-
essary use of the heater. Usage of the
heated steering wheel (if equipped)
(P.416) and seat heaters (P.417)
are effective.
Using the Remote Air Condition-
ing System (P.414) while the
AC charging cable is connected
to the vehicle can reduce elec-
tricity consumption immediately
after starting off by operating air
conditioning mainly using elec-
tricity from an external power
source.
When setting the charging
schedule, setting the charging
mode to “Departure” and “Cli-
mate Prep” to on can reduce
electricity consumption immedi-
ately after starting off by operat-
ing air conditioning before
charging is completed. (P.143)Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. If there is
improper tire inflation pressure in
the tires, the EV driving range will
become shorter, and fuel consump-
tion when in HV mode will increase.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to increased fuel
and electricity consumption.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a
large roof rack will also cause poor
fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up
and cuts out automatically, warm-
ing up is not necessary.
