Gauges
Gauges include the speedometer, fuel gauge, POWER/CHARGE gauge, high
voltage battery charge level gauge, and related indicators. They are displayed when
the power mode is in ON.
Displays your driving speed in mph or km/h.
Displays the approximate amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
Shows the estimated distance you can travel
on the remaining power and fuel. This
estimate is based on the fuel economy and
energy consumption of your previous trips
and the remaining high voltage battery charge
level.

■Electric motor
The degree to which the electric motor is being powered is displayed by the readings
on the POWER side.
When you depress the accelerator pedal, th e white needle on the gauge moves. The
curved blue line on the gauge shows the range within which only the electric motor
provides propulsion to the wheels. The length of this line varies depending on the
drive mode and the remaining power of th e High Voltage battery. When the white
needle exceeds the curved blue line, the engine starts and the curved blue line turns
white.
■Battery charge in progress
The degree to which the High Voltage battery is being charged is displayed by the
readings on the CHARGE side when coasting or during deceleration.
■POWER/CHARGE Gauge
1Electric motor
The power output of the elec tric motor is restricted
when the high voltage battery charge level is running
low (one segment on the gauge).
If you accelerate aggressively, the engine may start
even though the white needle has not exceeded the
curved blue line.

Driving
Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on th e windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheel s, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 503
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
• Disconnect the charging cable.
■Exterior Checks1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite
flammable material s left under the hood, causing a
fire. If you’ve parked y our vehicle for an extended
period, inspect and remove any debris that may have
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have
fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a
small animal. Also check under the hood for leftover
flammable materials after you or someone else has
performed maintenance on your vehicle.
