Charge area
Shows regeneration
* status. Regenerated energy will be used to charge the hybrid
battery (traction battery).
*: When used in this manual, regeneration refers to the conversion of energy created by
the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.
Hybrid Eco area
Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often.
The gasoline engine will automatically stop and restart under various conditions.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
By keeping the bar display within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can be achieved.
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is being exceeded (during full power driving
etc.)
Hybrid System
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional vehicles.
Be sure you are closely familiar with the charact eristics 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, improv ing fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust
emissions.
For details, refer to the “OWNER’S MANUAL”.

If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged even when
the engine is running. Therefore, if the vehicle is left with the shift lever in N for a long period
of time, the hybrid battery (traction battery) w ill discharge, and this may result in the vehicle
not being able to start.
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration
force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
There may be no engine sound or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move with the
“READY” indicator is illuminated. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift
the shift lever to P 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 system starts or stops.
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or so ft clank will be emitted from the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), behind the rear seats, when the hybrid system is started or
stopped.
● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is open.
● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid 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 engine starts or stops.
● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vent under the right side of the rear
seat.

Turns EV drive mode on/off
When EV drive mode is turned on, the EV
drive mode indicator will come on. Pressing
the switch when in EV drive mode will
return the vehicle to normal driving (using
the gasoline engine and electric motor
[traction motor]).
EV Drive Mode
In EV drive mode, electric power is supplied by the hybrid battery (traction battery), and
only the electric motor (traction motor) is used to drive the vehicle.

*1: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, shift the shift lever to D for normal driving.
*2: By selecting shift ranges using S mode, you can control accelerating force and enginebraking force.
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle shift switch
when driving with the shift lever in D.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, th e shift range switches to a range that enables
engine braking force that is su itable to driving conditions. Wh en the “+” paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range switches to a range that is one range higher than the current range.

2Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D6, will
be displayed in the meter.
To return to normal D position driving, the
“+” paddle shift switch must be held down
for a period of time.

To enter S mode, shift the shift lever to S. Shift ranges can be selected by operating the shift
lever or paddle shift switches (if equipped).

■Shift ranges and their functions
● You can choose from 6 levels of accelerating force and engine braking force.
● A lower shift range will provide greater accelerating force and engine braking force
than a higher shift range, and the en gine revolutions will also increase.
