heating (Plug-in hybrid)
• When the coolant temperature is lower than -14 °C (57 °F), and you
turn the climate control On for heat‐
ing, the above message will be dis‐
played in the cluster. Then, the vehi‐ cle will automatically switch to HEV
mode.
• When the coolant temperature is higher than -14 °C (57 °F), or you

You should refill the fuel tank to pre‐
vent hybrid battery damage.
Refill inverter coolant
This warning message illuminates when
the inverter coolant is nearly empty.
You should refill the inverter coolant.
Check brakes
This warning message illuminates when
the brake performance is low or the re‐ generative brake does not work prop‐
erly due to a failure in the brake sys‐
tem.
In this case, it may take longer for the brake pedal to operate and the braking
distance may become longer.
Stop vehicle and check brakes
This warning message is displayed
when a failure occurs in the brake sys‐ tem.
In this case, park the vehicle in a safe

Coasting guide (if equipped)
A chime will sound and the coasting
guide indicator will blink four times to inform the driver when to take the foot
off from the accelerator by anticipating
a decelerating event* based on the analysis of driving routes and road con‐
ditions of the navigation. It encourages
the driver to remove foot from the pedal and allow coasting down the road
with EV motor only. This helps prevent
unnecessary fuel consumption and in‐ creases fuel efficiency. ❈ Example of a deceleration event is
going down an extended hill, slow‐ ing down approaching a toll booth,
and approaching reduced speed
zones.
• User settings
Press the Engine Start/Stop button
and put the shift lever in P (Park). In
the User Settings Mode, select Driv‐
ing Assist, Coasting Guide, and then On to turn on the system. Cancel the

the system. For the explanation of
the system, press and hold the [OK]
button.
• Operation conditions To activate the system, take the fol‐
lowing procedures. Enter your desti‐
nation information on the navigation
and select the driving route. Select the ECO mode in the Integrated Driv‐
ing Control System. Then, satisfy the
following. - The driving speed should be be‐ tween 60 km/h (37 mph) and
160 km/h (99 mph).
❈ The operating speed may vary due
to difference between instrument
cluster and navigation effected by
tire inflation level.
Unplug vehicle to start (Plug-in
Hybrid)
The message is displayed when you
start the engine without unplugging
the charging cable. Unplug the charging
cable, and then start the vehicle.
Remaining charge time (Plug-in
Hybrid)
The message is displayed to notify the
remaining time to fully charge the bat‐ tery.
