Hybrid vehicle driving tips
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the following
points:
Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improv-
ing the fuel economy.
(P. 209)
Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the indicate of
Hybrid System Indicator within Eco area. (P. 222)
When braking the vehicle
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.
Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel consumption. Check traffic
reports before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When
encountering a delay, gently release the brake pedal to allow the
vehicle to move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the
accelerator pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline
consumption.
Highway driving
Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the

Driving position memory
: If equipped
Your preferred driving position (the position of the driver’s seat and
outside rear view mirrors) can be memorized and recalled with the

automatically when the doors are unlocked.
Three different driving positions can be entered into memory.
Entering a position to memory
Turn the “POWER” switch to ON mode.
Adjust the driver’s seat and outside rear view mirrors to
the desired positions.
While pressing the “SET”
button, or within 3 seconds
after the “SET” button is
pressed, press button 1, 2 or 3
until the signal beeps.
If the selected button has
already been preset, the pre-
viously recorded position
will be overwritten.
Recalling the memorized position

(driver’s seat only)
Record your driving position to button 1, 2 or 3 before performing
the following:
Carry only the key (including the card key) to which you want to
link the driving position. If 2 or more keys are in the vehicle, the
driving position cannot be linked properly.

until the signal beeps.
The driving position is recalled
when the driver’s door is
unlocked using the entry func-
tion or wireless remote control
and the driver’s door is opened.
To prevent unintended triggering of the alarm, open and close a
door once after a driving position has been recorded. (If a door is
not opened within 30 seconds after door lock switch is pressed, the
doors will be locked again and the alarm will automatically be set.)
In case that the alarm is triggered, immediately stop the alarm.

Auto anti-glare function (if equipped)
When the anti-glare inside rear view mirror is set to automatic mode, the
outside rear view mirrors will activate in conjunction with the anti-glare
inside rear view mirror to reduce reflected light. (P. 1 1 6 )
CAUTION
When driving the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Failing to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your
hand caught by the moving mirror.
When the mirror defoggers are operating
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and
burn you.
NOTICE
If the mirrors become iced up (vehicles with rain-clearing mirror)
In order to retain the rain-clearing properties of the mirror, do not attempt to
scrape the ice off. Instead, remove it by turning on the mirror defoggers or
by applying warm water.
