5. Turn off the air conditioning when it’s not needed.
6. Use Economy Mode. This maximizes the vehicle’s fuel
economy. It’s activated by pressing the ‘ECO’ button.
The Economy Mode limits other aspects of the vehicle’s
performance, such as acceleration rate and air-
conditioning, to save fuel.
7. When accelerating keep the ‘Power’ needle in the green
range so that (depending on battery level) the petrol
engine does not start.
8. Avoid hard braking. Braking gently or moderately allows
the regenerative braking system to recover energy from
the vehicle’s forward motion and store it as electricity.
Hard braking causes the vehicle to use its conventional
friction brakes, which do not recover energy. When using
regenerative braking, the ‘negative’ (LH) paddle increases
the amount of regenerative braking and thus the braking
force. This action also reduces wear to the braking system
components.
9. Use 4WD Lock Mode only when additional traction or
stability is required.
10. Familiarise yourself with the car’s hybrid information
display so you can monitor how much energy is being
used.

Regenerative Braking system
Similar to engine braking on engine-powered vehicles, the electric motors act as generators when the accelerator pedal is released or the brake pedal is depressed while driving. In this way, kinetic energy is converted into electric energy, which is then used to charge the battery.
The flow of energy during regenerative braking is displayed on the instrument cluster.
The intensity of regenerative braking can be selected from two levels, using the gear selector lever. Using the paddles, the intensity can be selected from six levels.*
* Lightly touching the brake pedal when in regenerative mode will increase the regenerative effort rather than wasting the kinetic energy into brake heat and wear to brake components.

Charging
AC 230 V 10 Amp plug
5. To charge via an external outlet please consult a registered electrician for the best solution for your situation.
The battery can be charged from a charging source using the method shown below.
Charging methodCharge portCharge connectorCharging sourceCharging time*1
Normal (AC 230 V/10 A)6 .5 h r s
*1: Charging time may vary depending on the condition of the battery, driving environment.
Do not touch the metallic terminals on the charge port or connector. Otherwise, electric shock and/or component failure may result.
Normal charging
Before inserting the charge connector into the port, set the power switch to OFF. The battery cannot be charged when the READY indicator is illuminated or the power switch is set to ON (blue).
1. Engage the parking brake, press the electrical parking switch.
2. Turn off the lights and other electric systems. Press the
power switch to OFF.
3. Push the charging lid until it clicks. Release the tab to
open the inner lid.

Operating the selector lever
To start the vehicle, follow the steps below.
Step 1 Ensure that the indicator is illuminated.
You cannot shift into or even if you move the selector to those positions while the indicator is extinguished or blinking. The selected position display will not change to or , either.
Step 2 Depress the brake pedal completely.
Step 3 Move the selector lever to or .
Step 4 Ensure that the selected position display shows or . Use position when powerful braking is needed such as when driving down a steep hill. Position is only selectable from position .

Important points!
To enter the READY mode, press the power switch while holding down the brake pedal.
To put the power switch to OFF, press the switch once when the indicator lamp is blue (ON) or twice when the lamp is orange (ACC) while the brake pedal is released.Power switch
Warning!
While driving, do not put any object near the selector lever, which may be accidentally pushed against the selector, which may then move into .

Starting the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system
Step 1 Ensure that the charging cable is disconnected from the vehicle.
Step 2 Ensure that the parking brake is applied.
Step 3 Depress the brake pedal completely.
Step 4 Press the power switch completely.
Do not release the brake pedal until the system has successfully started.
Step 5 Ensure that the indicator is illuminated.
Do not operate the selector lever until the indicator is illuminated. If the selector lever is operated while the indicator is still blinking, the system will not start.
Is something really wrong?
If the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system cannot be started, remove your foot from the brake pedal, return the power switch to OFF. Wait for more than 10 seconds and then repeat the startup steps 1 to 5.
If position or cannot be selected (display not changing to or ) using the selector lever when the indicator is illuminated, the brake pedal may not be depressed completely. Depress the brake pedal completely and then repeat the start-off steps 1 to 4 before selecting or .
If the 12v auxiliary battery is flat the vehicle cannot be started. Refer to the owners manual on page 9-2 for the jump starting procedure as it is unique for PHEV system.

02 Selector lever
R (Reverse): The vehicle moves in reverse.
N (Neutral): No drive is transmitted to the wheels, which are not locked either.
D (Drive): The vehicle moves forward.
B (Regenerative brake): The intensity of regenerative braking increases.
03 Electrical parking switch
Press the switch to lock the wheels when you are parking your vehicle. The indicator lamp on the switch illuminates in green.
04 Battery charge switch
Pressing this switch when the READY indicator is illuminated starts the engine and charges the drive battery to nearly full.
05 Battery save switch
Pressing the switch when the READY indicator is illuminated
reduces battery consumption while driving and will operate the engine more frequently.
06 4WD lock switch
Pressing the switch while driving or during a standstill shifts your vehicle into 4WD LOCK. This mode offers the highest traction and stability typical of a 4WD SUV from low to high speed range—ideal
for low- to medium-speed driving on low-friction dirt roads and for driving on highways in rain or snow. Pressing the switch again puts the vehicle back in NORMAL.

07 Power switch
Using the keyless operation key, you can start or stop the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system or switch between the power modes if the key is located within its operation range shown on the left.
• To start the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system, engage the parking brake, depress the brake pedal, and then press the power switch. The READY indicator on the instrument cluster should stop blinking and stay constantly illuminated, indicating that the startup has been completed.
• To stop the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system, stop the vehicle, press the electrical parking switch, set the selector position to and then press the power switch.
• If the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system needs to be stopped immediately in an emergency while driving, press and hold the power switch for more than 3 seconds or press it at least three times in quick succession. (This should not be carried out except in an emergency.)
