outside mirrors
E00601101738
The outside mirror can be folded in towards the side window to prevent damage when
parking in narrow areas.
CAUTIONl Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-
vided by the mirror could lead to an acci- dent.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors using the mirror re- tractor switch
With the operation mode in ON or ACC,push the mirror retractor switch to retract the
mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions.
After placing the operation mode in OFF, it is
possible to retract and extend the mirrors us-
ing the mirror retractor switch for about 30
seconds.CAUTIONl It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again,
not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.NOTEl Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.NOTEl If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not beable to return it to its original position using
the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir- ror motor circuits.
Retracting and extending the
mirrors without using the mir- ror retractor switch
The mirrors automatically retract or extendwhen the doors are locked or unlocked using the remote control switches or the keyless op-eration function of the keyless operation sys-

4-wheel drive operation
E007606602083
Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow- covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv- ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep sand or mud.WARNINGl Do not over-rely on the 4-wheel drive ve-
hicles. Even 4-wheel drive vehicles have
limits to the system and ability to main- tain control and traction. Reckless driving may lead to accidents. Always drive care-
fully, taking account of the road condi-
tions.
l Improperly operating this vehicle on or
off-paved roads can cause an accident or
rollover in which you and your passengers
could be seriously injured or killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in
the owner’s manual.
• Keep your speed low and do not drive
faster than conditions allow you to.

tion screen in the multi-information display.
WARNINGl When you leave the vehicle, be sure that
you have stopped the Plug-in Hybrid EV
System. Refer to “Parking” on page 7-04
l Since the engine will also start if the vehi-
cle stops with the battery charge switch pressed, do not use it around the garage
or the vehicle in situations when there's snow etc. while stopping and parking.
Doing so, the exhaust gas enters into the vehicle and there is a possibility of being
poisoned by carbon monoxide.
Be sure to use at the well-ventilated place.
l Do not use the battery charge switch near
flammable objects such as dried grass or
a paper etc.
This might cause a fire because the ex- haust pipe has a high temperature.CAUTIONl If something is left too close to the front of
the vehicle, do not operate the battery charg- er switch.NOTEl Use the battery charge switch before the up-
hill climb.
l Even if the battery charge switch is pressed,

of the drive battery becomes longer depend- ing on the condition of the drive battery, a
driving condition or an environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer. We recommend you to consider the environ- ment.
l When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to
idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge switch that conforms to the relevant municipality.
If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity using gasoline, the fuel consumption will suffer.When the Battery save switch
