For safety and security
Immobilizer system
The indicator light flashes after
the power switch has been turned
off to indicate that the system is
operating.
The indicator light stops flashing
after the power switch has been
turned to ACCESSORY or ON
mode to indicate that the system
has been canceled.
■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type immobilizer system.
■ Conditions that may cause the system to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in contact with a metallic ob ject
● If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key registered to the security
system (key with a built-in transponder chip) of another vehicl e
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent
the hybrid system from starting if a key has not been previousl y
registered in the vehic le’s on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehi-
cle. This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft but does not
guarantee absolute security against all vehicle thefts.

Plug-in hybrid system features
The illustration is an example for explanation and may differ from the
actual item.
Gasoline engine
Electric motor (traction motor)
The plug-in hybrid system is a system excellent in both econom-
ical efficiency of electric vehicles and practicality of hybrid vehi-
cles.
● EV driving can be performed using electricity charged from an
external power source.
*
●If the amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid battery (t raction
battery) becomes low, the vehicle is automatically controlled i n
such a way that it can be driven as a hybrid vehicle through the
joint use of the gasoline engine.
*: The EV driving range will vary in accordance with conditions s uch as
vehicle speed, the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid bat tery
(traction battery) and the usage of the air conditioning system. The gaso-
line engine may also be used simultaneously in accordance with driving
conditions.

Plug-in hybrid system
The plug-in hybrid system operates in the following modes.
The multi-information display can be used to check which mode t he plug-in
hybrid system is currently being driven in. ( P. 205)
EV mode
When a sufficient amount of electricity is remaining after
charging
*1, EV driving is performed using electricity stored in the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
*2
When in EV mode, the EV drive mode indicator illuminates.
*1: The amount of remaining charge can be checked on the multi-informa- tion display etc. ( P. 216)
*2: Depending on the situation, EV driving may be canceled and bot h gaso-
line engine and electric motor are used. ( P. 87)

EV auto mode (P. 8 2 )
When a sufficient amount of elect ricity for EV driving is remaining in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) after charging
*, the operation
mode can be switched to EV auto mode.
Switching to EV auto mode make powerful driving possible by usi ng
both the gasoline engine and elec tric motor in a driving condition
that requires large driving force, such as when passing a vehicle on
a highway or driving on a steep slope.
When in EV auto mode, the EV auto mode indicator illuminates.
*: The amount of remaining charge can be checked on the multi-informa- tion display etc. ( P. 216)
HV mode
When in HV mode, the vehicle is driven using both the gasoline
engine and electric motor. ( P. 84)
● If electricity needed for EV driving in EV mode or EV auto mode
is not remaining, the operation mode will be automatically
switched to HV mode.
● The operation mode can be switched to HV mode at any timing
by operating the switch to keep electricity for EV driving etc.
*
( P. 82). Switching to HV mode when driving on a highway or
when driving uphill is recommended in order to conserve battery
power.
When in HV mode, the EV drive mode indicator and EV auto mode i ndi-
cator turn off.
*: The EV driving range may reduce even after switching to HV mode.
