been unlocked using the keyless entry system or the keyless operation function.
Also, the alarm will be activated if any of the
following occur.
l Attempt an unlawful moving of the vehi-
cle. (the impact detection function)
l Detect a motion in the vehicle. (the inte-
rior intrusion detection function)

The security alarm has fourmodes:
System preparation mode (ap- prox. 20 seconds)
(The buzzer sounds intermittently and the se-curity indicator (A) blinks.)
The system preparation time extends fromthe point at which all of the doors and the
tailgate are locked by pressing the LOCK
switch on the remote control switch or the
keyless operation function to the point at which the system armed mode goes into ef- fect.
During this time, it is possible to temporarily
open a door or the tailgate without using the
keyless entry system or the keyless operation function and without causing the alarm tosound (for example, when you forget some-
thing inside the vehicle or realize that a win- dow is open).
System armed mode
(The buzzer stops and the security indicator continues to blink with the indicator’s re-
duced lit-up duration time.)
Once the system preparation mode has ended,
the system armed mode starts.
If an unlawful opening of any of the doors,
tailgate or bonnet is detected during the sys- tem armed mode, the alarm will be activated
to warn people around the vehicle of an ab-
normal condition.
Also, if unlawful moving of the vehicle is at- tempted or a vehicle intrusion is detected, thealarm will be activated.
Alarm activation
The turn-signal lamps blink and the siren
sounds for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to “Alarm activation” on page 4-33.
NOTEl The alarm will resume if unlawful actions
are taken again, even if the alarm has stop-
ped.
System cancellation
It is possible to cancel the system activation
during the system preparation mode or the system armed mode.
In addition, it is possible to cancel the alarm
once it has been activated.
Refer to “Cancelling the system” on page 4-32, “Cancelling the alarm” on page 4-33.
NOTEl When lending the vehicle to another person
or allowing the vehicle to be driven bysomeone who is unfamiliar with the securityalarm system, be sure to give the person a
proper explanation of the security alarm sys- tem.
If a person who is unfamiliar with the securi-
ty alarm system accidentally unlocked the vehicle, causing the alarm to sound, the
alarm would be a nuisance to people nearby.Changing the security alarm

E00800604058
When the engine is overheating, the informa-tion screen in the multi information display
will be interrupted and the engine coolant
temperature warning display will appear.
If this occurs, take the following corrective measures: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from the
engine compartment.

[If steam does not come from the engine
compartment]
With the Plug-in Hybrid EV system still starting, raise the bonnet to ventilate the
engine compartment.

compartment]
Stop the Plug-in Hybrid EV system, and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet to
ventilate the engine compartment. Re-
start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system.WARNINGl Do not open the bonnet while steam is
coming from the engine compartment. It could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
l Be careful of hot steam, which could be
blowing off the reserve tank cap.
l Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.

E01000404462
To check and refill engine oil
The engine oil used has a significant effect on the engine’s performance, service life and
startability. Be sure to use oil of the recom- mended quality and appropriate viscosity.
All engines consume a certain amount of oil during normal operation. Therefore, it is im-portant to check the oil level at regular inter-
vals or before starting a long trip. 1. Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface.
2. Switch off the engine.
3. Wait a few minutes.
4. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a
clean cloth.
5. Reinsert the dipstick as far as it goes.
6. Remove the dipstick and read the oil lev-
el, which should always be within the
range indicated.
7. If the oil level is below the specified
limit, remove the cap located on the cyl-inder head cover and add enough oil to
raise the level to within the specified
range. Do not overfill to avoid engine
damage. Be sure to use the specified en- gine oil and do not mix various types of
oil.
8. After adding oil, close the cap securely.
9. Confirm the oil level by repeating step 4
to 6.NOTEl The engine oil will deteriorate rapidly if the
vehicle is subjected to severe conditions, re-
quiring earlier oil replacement.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule.
l For information on how to dispose of used
engine oil, refer to page 2-17.

Open the washer fluid reservoir cap andcheck the level of washer fluid with the dip- stick.
If the level is low, replenish the container with washer fluid.
NOTEl The washer fluid container serves the wind-
screen, rear window and headlamps (if soequipped).During cold weather
To ensure proper operation of the washers at
low temperatures, use a fluid containing ananti-freezing agent.
Brake fluid
E01000801755
To check the fluid level
The fluid level must be between the “MAX”
and “MIN” marks on the reservoir.The fluid level is monitored by a float. When
the fluid level falls below the “MIN” mark, the brake fluid warning lamp lights up.The fluid level falls slightly with wear of the brake pads, but this does not indicate any ab-
normality.

The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when doing other work under thebonnet. The brake system should also be checked for leakage at the same time.
If the fluid level falls markedly in a short length of time, it indicates leaks from the
brake system.
If this occurs, we recommend you to have the
vehicle checked.
