Switching to Hybrid mode toallow heating (Plug-in hybrid)
When the coolant temperature is lower than 57 °F (-14 °C), and you
turn the climate control On for
heating, the above message will be
displayed in the cluster. Then, the
vehicle will automatically switch to
HEV mode.
When the coolant temperature is higher than 57 °F (-14 °C), or you
turn the climate control Off, the
vehicle will automatically return to
EV mode.

H26
Wait until fuel door opens (Plug-in hybrid)
The message is displayed when you
attempt to open the fuel filler lid with
the fuel tank pressurized. Wait until
the fuel tank is depressurized.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• It may take up to 20 seconds to
open fuel filler lid.
• When the fuel filler lid is frozen and does not open after 20 seconds
at freezing temperature, slightly
tap the fuel filler lid and then
attempt to open it.
Fuel door open (Plug-in hybrid)
This message is displayed when the
fuel filler lid is opened.
Also means "Ready to refuel".
Check fuel door (Plug-in hybrid)
This message is displayed when the
fuel filler lid is open or an abnormal-
ity has occurred.
Refuel after stopping
(Plug-in hybrid)
This message is displayed when the
fuel filler lid open button is pressed
when a vehicle equipped with a plug-
in hybrid seal-type fuel tank is in
motion (vehicle speed is greater than
0 km/h(mi/h)).

Open fuel door after disconnectingcharging cable (Plug-in hybrid)
This message is displayed when you
press fuel filler lid open button while
charging.
This message explains that refueling
is allowed to finish charging.
Fuel lid is not opened when charging
cable is connected to vehicle.
Charging Door Open (Plug-in hybrid)
This message indicates that the
charging door is open while in driv-
ing-ready state to encourage you to
inspect and close the door.
(Driving with the charging door open
may result in moisture inflow or dam-
age. This message is used to prevent
such occurrences.)

H32
Starting the Hybrid System
1.Carry the smart key into the vehicle.
2.Make sure the parking brake isfirmly applied.
3.Place the shift lever in the P(Park) position.
In N (neutral) position, you can not
start the vehicle.
4.Depress the brake pedal.
5.Press the engine start/stop button.
6.The engine should be started with- out pressing the accelerator. In
extremely cold weather or after the
vehicle has not been operated fro
several days, let the engine warm up
without depressing the accelerator.
vehicle, if it is far away from you,
the engine may not start.
ton is in the ACC or ON position,
if any door is open, the system
checks for the smart key. If the
smart key is not in the vehicle, the
warning, "Key is not in vehicle"
will come on, and if all doors are
closed, the chime will also sound
for about 5 seconds. The indica-
tor will turn off while the vehicle is
moving. Keep the smart key in the
vehicle when using the ACC posi-
tion or if the vehicle engine is on. If the starting procedure is fol-
lowed, the "READY" symbol on
the instrument cluster will turn on.

chapter 6.
STARTING THE HYBRID/PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE (SMART KEY)

H33
ECONOMICAL and SAFE
OPERATION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't make
"jack-rabbit" starts. Don't race
between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine runs in "N" posi- tion, the hybrid system cannot gen-
erate electricity. The hybrid battery
cannot recharge in "N" position.
Please refer to chapter 6.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When the hybrid system is in
READY mode, the engine will auto-
matically start and stop as needed.
The "READY" symbol will illumi-
nate in the cluster when the system
is operational.
CAUTION- Extended
cranking
Do not crank the engine for aprolonged period of time with-out the engine starting. Thiscould result in damage to theHEV battery and become totallydischarged.
