WARNING
■Cautions performing the set-
ting operation
As the hybrid system needs to be 
operating during setting up the 
display, ensure that the vehicle is 
parked in a place with adequate 
ventilation. In a closed area such 
as a garage, exhaust gases 
including harmful carbon monox-
ide (CO) may collect and enter 
the vehicle. This may lead to 
death or a seri ous health hazard.
NOTICE
■While performing the setting 
operation
When performing the setting 
operation while the hybrid system 
is stopped, be careful that the 12-
volt battery will not be discharged.
Using the “My Room 
Mode”
When the AC charging cable 
is connected to the vehicle, 
electrical components such 
as the air conditioning sys-
tem or audio system can be 
used using the external 
power source.

Plug-in hybrid system
To stop “My Room Mode”, turn 
the power switch off.
When “My Room Mode” starts, 
the remaining charge display 
screen for the hybrid battery 
(traction battery) is displayed 
automatically on the multi-infor-
mation display. The approxi-
mate power balance (balance 
between electricity supply and 
consumption) while using “My 
Room Mode” can be checked 
from the color and size of the 
arrows.Discharging status
Charging status
When the electricity supply from the 
AC charging cable is larger than the 
power consumption inside the vehi-
cle,   becomes larger. When the 
power consumption is larger than 
the electricity su pply,   becomes 
larger.
When the electricity supply and 
consumption are balanced (when  the power balance is judged to be 
zero),   and   are displayed as 
the same size.
■Meter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on 
for approximately 100 seconds after 
the power switch is turned on during 
charging, the power switch will auto-
matically turn off.
■While using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
●When the remaining charge of the 
hybrid battery (traction battery) 
reaches the lowe r limit, the air 
conditioning system automatically 
turns off. 
In this situation,  the air condition-
ing system cannot be used until 
the remaining charge of the hybrid 
battery (traction battery) 
increases. Turn the power switch 
off and use “My Room Mode” after 
the remaining charge of the hybrid 
battery (traction battery) is 
restored.
●When the outside temperature is 
low, the heater ou tput may be lim-
ited due to the air conditioning 
system operation being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such 
as electric power steering system 
warning light (yellow) and mal-
function indicator lamp may turn 
on, but this is no t a malfunction.
Also, when the headlight switch is 
in the AUTO position and the sur-
rounding area is dark, the head-
lights are turned on. ( P.295)

■When “My Room Mode” is used 
while the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on 
while the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) is fully charged and the 
charging connector that supplies 
power is connected, “Charging Port 
Lid is Open” is displayed on the 
multi-information display. In this 
case, press   on the meter control 
switches to display the setting 
screen of “My Room Mode”, and 
then select “My Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used 
while the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) is fully charged, the electric 
power of the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) may be consumed. In this 
case, charging may be performed 
again.
■When a message related to “My 
Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on 
the multi-informat ion display while 
using or attempting to start “My 
Room Mode”, take the following cor-
rection procedures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My 
Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining 
charge in the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) for starting “My Room 
Mode”.
Wait until the char ge of the hybrid 
battery (traction battery) increases, 
then start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped 
due to low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid 
battery (traction battery) is insuffi-
cient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and 
charge the hybrid battery (traction 
battery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when 
traction battery is too low Reduce 
power usage to continue using 
“My Room Mode””
The power consumption inside the 
vehicle is greater than the power 
being charged to the hybrid battery 
(traction battery), and the remaining 
charge of the hybrid battery (traction 
battery) is low.
*
• “My Room Mode” will end unless  the power consumption inside the 
vehicle is improved.
• To continue using “My Room 
Mode”, turn off the power of sys-
tems such as the air conditioning 
system and audio system to 
increase the remaining charge of 
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
*: The power balance status during 
“My Room Mode” can be checked 
from the remaining charge dis-
play screen for the hybrid battery 
(traction battery) displayed on the 
multi-information display.
WARNING
■Cautions for using “My Room 
Mode”
Make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous health problems or even 
death.
●Do not leave children, people 
who need assistance, or pets 
inside the vehicle. The system 
may turn off aut omatically and 
the interior temperature may 
become high or low, resulting in 
heat stroke, dehydration or 
hypothermia. Devices such as 
the wipers can also be used, 
which may lead to mistaken 
operation and an accident.
●Check the safety around the 
vehicle carefully before use.
