■Battery-saving function
The battery-saving fu nction will be acti-
vated in order to prevent the electronic key
battery and the 12-volt battery from being
discharged while the vehicle is not in opera-
tion for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart
access system with pu sh-button start may
take some time to unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left within
approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of the outside of
the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been used for 5 days or
longer.
●If the smart access system with push-but-
ton start has not been used for 14 days or
longer, the doors cannot be unlocked at
the passenger door. In this case, push the
depression on the front edge the driver’s
door handle, or use the wireless remote
control or mechanical key, to unlock the
doors.
■Turning an electronic key to battery-
saving mode
When battery-saving mode is set, battery
depletion is minimized by stopping the elec-
tronic key from re ceiving radio waves.
Press twice while pressing and
holding . Confirm that the elec-
tronic key indicator flashes 4 times.
While the battery-saving mode is set, the
smart access system with push-button start
cannot be used. To cancel the function,
press any of the electronic key buttons.
●Electronic keys that will not be used for
long periods of time can be set to the bat-
tery-saving mode in advance.
■Conditions affecting operation
The smart access system with push-button
start uses weak radio waves. In the following
situations, the communication between the
electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart access sys-
tem with push-button start, wireless remote
control and engine immobilizer system
from operating prop-
erly.
(Ways of coping: P.367)
●When the electronic key battery is
depleted
●Near a TV tower, electric power plant,
gas station, radio stat ion, large display,
airport or other fac ility that generates
strong radio waves or electrical noise
●When carrying a portable radio, cellular
phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication device
●When the electronic key is in contact
with, or is covered by the following metal-
lic objects
• Cards to which aluminum foil is attached
• Cigarette boxes that have aluminum foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
•Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When other wireless keys (that emit radio
waves) are being used nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices that
emit radio waves
• Another electronic key or a wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal digital
assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic content or
metallic objects are attached to the rear
window
●When the electronic key is placed near a
battery charger or electronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a pay park-
ing spot where radio waves are emitted

WARNING
■Stopping the engine in an emergency
●If you want to stop the engine in an
emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the engine switch for
more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession.
(  P.338)
However, do not touch the engine
switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the engine off while
driving will not cause loss of steering
or braking control, however, power
assist to the steering will be lost. This
will make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so.
●If the engine switch is operated while
the vehicle is running, a warning mes-
sage will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and a buzzer sounds.
●When restarting the engine after an
emergency shutdown, press the
engine switch.
■When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and
odorless. Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause exhaust gases
to enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the engine.

to enter the vehicle and may lead to an
accident caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious health
hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly ventilated
area or a closed area, such as a
garage, stop the hybrid system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with the
hybrid system operating for a long
time. If such a situation cannot be
avoided, park the vehicle in an open
space and ensure that exhaust fumes
do not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the hybrid system operat-
ing in an area with snow build-up, or
where it is snowing. If snowbanks build
up around the vehicle while the hybrid
