WARNING
■Power sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
●Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI) and supplied by a circuit breaker per your local code.
Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended.
●Use of a block heater for charging is prohibited.
●Make sure to connect the charging connector and charging inlet directly.
Do not connect a converting adaptor or extension cord between the
charging connector and charging inlet.
●Do not connect the charging cable to a
multi-outlet adapter, multi-plugs, or con-
version plug.
●Connecting the charging cable to an
extension cord is strictly prohibited. The
extension cord may overheat and does
not contain a Ground-Fault Circuit-Inter-
rupter (GFCI).
●Do not connect to a power strip.

4. Things you must know
Things you must know
■Regenerative braking
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 battery).
●The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or
B.
●The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or B.
■Gasoline engine operation in EV/EV auto mode
Even if there is a sufficient amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) and EV driving range is being displayed on the multi-
information display etc., EV driving (driving using only the electric motor) may
be canceled and both gasoline engine and electric motor are used depending
on the situation (EV driving will be returned to automatically after EV driving
becomes possible again).
EV driving may be canceled automatically in the following circumstances:
●When vehicle speed is more than approximately 84 mph (135 km/h).
●When power is needed temporarily, for example when the accelerator pedal
is depressed firmly or when accelerating suddenly.
*
●When the temperature of the hybrid system is high.
The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
●When the temperature of the hybrid system is low.
●When the heater is switched on when the outside temperature is below
about 14°F (-10°C).
●When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.

The gasoline engine may also operate in circumstances other than those
listed above, depending on conditions.
*: When traveling in the EV auto mode only
■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions
*:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.
*: Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop
automatically in situations other than those above.
