361-1. For safe use
Driver airbag
Front passenger occupant classification sensors
Knee airbag
SRS warning light
Airbag sensor assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with ADVANCED AIRBAGS designed
based on the US motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS208). The
airbag sensor assembly (ECU) cont rols airbag deployment based on
information obtained from the sensors etc. shown in the system
components diagram above. This in formation includes crash sever-
ity and occupant information. As the airbags deploy, a chemical
reaction in the inflators quickly fills the airbags with non-toxic gas to
help restrain the motion of the occupants.
■If the SRS airbags deploy
(inflate)
●Slight abrasions, burns, bruising
etc., may be sustained from SRS
airbags, due to the extremely high
speed deployment (inflation) by
hot gases.
●A loud noise and white powder will
be emitted.
●Parts of the airbag module (steer-
ing wheel hub, airbag cover and
inflator) as well as the front seats,
parts of the front and rear pillars,
and roof side rails, may be hot for
several minutes. T he airbag itself
may also be hot.
●The windshield may crack.
●The hybrid system will be stopped
and fuel supply to the engine will
be stopped. ( P.91)
●The brakes and st op lights will be
controlled automatically.
(  P.381)
●The interior lights will turn on auto-
matically. ( P.411)
●The emergency flashers will turn
on automatically. ( P.504)
●For Safety Connect subscribers, if
any of the followin g situations occur, the system is designed to
send an emergency call to the
response center, notifying them of
the vehicle’s location (without
needing to push the “SOS” button)
and an agent will attempt to speak
with the occupants to ascertain
the level of emergency and assis-
tance required. If the occupants
are unable to communicate, the
agent automatically treats the call
as an emergency and helps to dis-
patch the necessary emergency
services. (
P.66)
• An SRS airbag is deployed.
• A seat belt pretensioner is acti- vated.
• The vehicle is involved in a severe rear-end collision.
■SRS airbag deployment condi-
tions (SRS front airbags)
●The SRS front airbags will deploy
in the event of an impact that
exceeds the set threshold level
(the level of forc e corresponding
to an approximately 12-18 mph
[20-30 km/h] frontal collision with
a fixed wall that does not move or
deform).
However, this threshold velocity will
be considerably higher in the follow-

461-1. For safe use
■Adult*1
WARNING
●Child restraint systems installed
on the rear seat should not con-
tact the front seatbacks.
●Do not use a seat accessory,
such as a cushion and seat
cover, that covers the seat
cushion surface.
●Do not modify or replace the
upholstery of the front seat.
●Adjust the front passenger seat
so that the head restraint does
not touch the ceiling. If the head
restraint is left in contact with
the ceiling, the system may not
detect the front passenger prop-
erly, leading to improper opera-
tion of the airbags.

481-1. For safe use
■There is a malfunction in the system
*1: The system judges a person of adult size as an adult. When a smaller
adult sits in the front passenger seat, the system may not recognize
him/her as an adult depending on his/her physique and posture.
*2: In the event the front passenger is wearing a seat belt.
*3: In the event the front passenge r does not wear a seat belt.
*4: For some children, child in seat, child in booster seat or chi ld in convert-
ible seat, the system may not recognize him/her as a child. Fac tors
which may affect this can be the physique or posture.
*5: Never install a rear-facing ch ild restraint system on the front passenger
seat. A forward-facing child res traint system should only be installed on
the front passenger sea t when it is unavoidable. ( P.54)
*6: In case the indicator light is not illuminated, consult this m anual on how
to install the child restr aint system properly. (P.51)

1452-2. Charging

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 a charging schedule is
registered
When “My Room Mode” starts while
the charging schedule is on
standby, charging schedules are
ignored and charging starts.
