Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steer-
ing)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort
needed to turn the steering
wheel.
■E-Four (Electronic On-
Demand AWD system)
Automatically controls the drive
system such as to front-wheel
drive or AWD (all wheel drive)
according to various running
conditions including normal driv-
ing, during cornering, on a
uphill, when starting off, during
acceleration, on a slippery roads
due to snow or rain, thus con-
tributing to stable operability and
driving stability.
■The Secondary Collision
Brake
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the sys-
tem operates, the brakes and
brake lights are automatically
controlled to reduce the vehicle
speed and help reduce the pos-
sibility of further damage due to
a secondary collision.

■Heating
●In HV mode, the gasoline engine
may operate in order to extract
heat from the engine coolant via
the heater.
●In EV mode, heating is done by a
heat pump system.
• When the outside temperature is low or it is snowing, compared to
conventional vehicles, heating
may be less effective and warm
air may not come out.
• When the outside heat exchanger is frosted over, fan speed declines
and it may become harder to heat
the interior.
However, it is not a malfunction. In
this situation, the air temperature
from the outlets may not change
even though the set temperature is
raised.
• If frost has formed of the outside heat exchanger, the heating per-
formance will decline. The frost
can be removed from the outside
heat exchanger by operating the
Remote Air Conditioning System
before driving ( P.399). When
frosted over, the heating operation
of the Remote Air Conditioning
System starts after defrosting.
• When “AUTO” switch is turned on,
the heating is controlled opti-
mally. Therefore, the set heating
performance may not be achieved
even if the fan speed setting is
increased.

Outside heat exchanger
●In the following situations the gas-
oline engine may operate in order
to extract heat from the engine
coolant via the heater even in EV
mode.• The outside temperature is
approximately 14°F (-10°C) or low
• is operating
■Water droplets dur ing air condi-
tioning operation
The outside heat exchanger, accu-
mulator and air conditioning piping
may incur condensation or frost may
form.
During or after the air conditioning
operation, water droplets may fall
from the vehicle. However, it is not a
malfunction.

■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up
when the humidity in the vehicle is
high. Turning “A/C ” switch on will
dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch off, the
windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the
recirculated air mode is used.
■While using “My Room Mode”
●It may not be possible to obtain
the intended defogging perfor-
mance even if is pressed.
If the windows need to be
defogged before driving, stop
charging power and then press .
●When the outside temperature is
low, heating may feel insufficient
due to restricted operation of the
air conditioning.
Heating cannot be performed
when it is 14°F (-
10°C) or less as
the gasoline engine cannot be
started during “My Room Mode”. If
heating is desired, stop charging
and remove the AC charging
cable from the vehicle.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up
by the vehicle is still drawn into the
vehicle after closing the windows, it
is recommended that the air intake
mode be set to outside air mode
and the fan speed to any setting
except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air
mode temporarily is recom-
mended in preventing dirty air

and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature
is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on
the temperature setting or the
inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature
exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air
conditioning system is on
●In order to reduce the air condi-
tioning power consumption, the air
conditioning system may switch to
recirculated air mode automati-
cally. This may a lso reduce fuel
consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected
as a default mode when the power
switch is turned to ON.
●It is possible to switch to outside
air mode at any time by pressing
the outside/recirculated air mode
switch.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor
operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restr icted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.372)
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●When the driving mode is set to
Eco driving mode, the Eco air con-
ditioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by pressing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when “A/C” switch
is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air
mode.
●During use, various odors from
inside and outside the vehicle may
enter into and accumulate in the
air conditioning system. This may
then cause odor
to be emitted
from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from
occurring:
• It is recommended that the air
conditioning system be set to out-
side air mode prior to turning the
vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of
time immediately after the air con-
ditioning system is started in auto-
matic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.

need assistance, or pets inside
the vehicle. The system may turn
off automatically and the interior
temperature may become high or
low, resulting in heat stroke, dehy-
dration or hypothermia. Failure to
do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
■To prevent the windshield
from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defog-
ger switch during cool air opera-
tion in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the tem-
perature of the outside air and
that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view
mirror defoggers are operat-
ing
Do not touch the rear view mirror
surfaces when the outside rear
view mirror def oggers are on.
