Hybrid System
This illustration is for explanation only and
may differ depending on the specifications
of the vehicle.
Charge area
Shows regeneration
* status.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven
in an Eco-friendly manner.
Power area
Shows that an Eco- friendly driving
range is being exceeded (during full
power driving etc.)
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is
not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically
stop and restart under various condi-
tions.
• By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-fr iendly driving can
be achieved.
• Charge area indicates regeneration
* sta-
tus. Regenerated energy will be used to
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
*: When used in this manual, regeneration refers to the conversion of energy cre-
ated by the movement of the vehicle into
electrical energy.
Hybrid System
Your vehicle is a hybrid electric vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional
vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicle, and
operate it with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gaso line engine and an electric motor (traction
motor) according to driving conditions, impr oving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust
emissions.
For details, refer to the “Owner’s Manual”.

Because there is no engine sound or vibration, it is easy to mistake the hybrid electric vehi-
cle for being off when it is actu ally still running, as indicated by the “READY” indicator being
illuminated. For safety, make sure to always shift the shift position to P and apply the parking
brake when parked.
The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are
not a malfunction:
• Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.
• Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear seats when the hybrid syst em starts or stops.
• Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the hybrid battery
(traction battery), under the rear seats, when the hybrid sy stem is started or stopped.
• Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is open.
• Sounds may be heard from the transmission when the gasoline engine starts or stops,
when driving at low speeds, or during idling.
• Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.
• Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
• Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engi ne starts or stops.
• Cooling fan sounds may be heard from th e air intake vents under the rear seats.
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the
vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light go off. If there is
only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The standard amount
of fuel is about 2.6 gal. [9.8 L, 2.2 Imp. gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value
may vary when the vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.)

*2: By selecting shift ranges using S mode, yo u can control accelerating force and engine
braking force.
■Driving mode
 P.48
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” paddle shift switch. Changing
the shift range enables the level of engine brak ing force to be selected. The shift range can
then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches.
1Upshifting
2Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D5, will
be displayed on the meter.
The initial shift range when the “-” paddle
shift switch is operated is automatically set
to D4.
To return to normal D position driving, hold
the “+” puddle shift switch for a period of
time or operate the “+” puddle shift switch
in the D5 range.
■Shift ranges and their functions
● You can choose from 5 levels of engine braking force.
● A lower shift range will provid e greater engine braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine revolutions will also increase.
