902-1. Plug-in hybrid system
Moreover, as fuel consumption is
also reduced when in HV mode, the
regenerative braking system can be
used effectively.
■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 lever in D or
S.
●The brake pedal is depressed while
driving with the shift lever in D or S.
■EV driving range
●The EV driving range is displayed on
the multi-information display.
(P.181)
●The EV driving range changes in
accordance with the charge status of
the hybrid battery (traction battery),
the speed of the vehicle, etc.
●Even if there is enough charge
remaining in the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery), EV driving may be can-
celed and both gasoline engine and
electric motor are used depending on
the situation. (P.90)
■EV indicator
The EV indicator comes on when the
vehicle is driven using only the electric
motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.The on/off operation
of the EV indicator can be changed.
(P.186)
■After EV mode has switched to HV
mode due to low hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge
If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
regenerated by driving continuously
down a long slope, the EV driving range
etc. will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and EV mode will be
automatically switched to.
If EV mode is not switched to even
though EV driving range is being dis-
played, EV mode can be switched to by
pressing the EV/HV mode selection
switch.
■Gasoline engine operation in EV
mode or AUTO EV/HV mode
Even if there is a sufficient amount of
electricity remaining in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and EV driving range
(P.181) is being displayed on the
multi-information display, 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 automati-
cally in the following circumstances
*1:
●When vehicle speed is more than
approximately 135 km/h (84 mph).
●When power is needed temporarily,
for example when the accelerator
pedal is depressed firmly or when
accelerating suddenly.
*2
●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 -10°C (14°F).
●When the windshield defogger switch
is pressed. (P.453)
●When the system determines that the

to EV mode or AUTO EV/HV
mode after leaving the freeway.
(P.86)
Turn the “A/C” switch off when it
is not needed. Doing so can help
reduce excessive electricity and
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the
burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce electricity and fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excessive and unnec-
essary use of the heater. Usage of the
heated steering wheel (if equipped)
(P.462) and seat heaters (P.463)
are effective.
Using the Remote Air Condition-
ing System (P.460) while the
AC charging cable is connected
to the vehicle can reduce elec-
tricity consumption immediately
after starting off by operating air
conditioning mainly using elec-
tricity from an external power
source.
When setting the charging
schedule, setting the charging
mode to “Departure” and “Cli-
mate Prep” to on can reduce
electricity consumption immedi-
ately after starting off by operat-
ing air conditioning before
charging is completed. (P.144)Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. If there is
improper tire inflation pressure in
the tires, the EV driving range will
become shorter, and fuel consump-
tion when in HV mode will increase.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to increased fuel
and electricity consumption.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a
large roof rack will also cause poor
fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up
and cuts out automatically, warm-
ing up is not necessary.

■When starting off, depress the
accelerator pedal smoothly to
accelerate
As a guide, accelerate up to
approximately 20 km/h (12mph) in
the first 5 seconds.
Electrical and fuel efficiency can be
improved just by using the ECO
Accelerator Guidance displayed on
the multi-information display and
taking care to start off gently.
(P.182)
When the driving mode is set to Eco
drive mode, depressing the accelerator
pedal generates smooth torque that
makes it easier to operate the accelera-
tor gently.
■Maintain sufficient vehicle-to-
vehicle distance and do not
accelerate or decelerate
unnecessarily
Try to maintain a fixed speed while
driving. Driving at a short vehicle-
to-vehicle distance will result in
repeating wasteful acceleration and
deceleration, which will worsen the
electrical and fuel efficiency.
■Release the accelerator pedal
early before stopping the vehi-
cle, such as at a traffic light
The regenerative brake will operate
to convert the kinetic energy of the
vehicle into electrical energy, which
will charge the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
The regeneration status can be
checked from the Hybrid System
Indicator. (P.177)When the brake pedal is depressed
lightly during deceleration, the
regeneration amount increases,
enabling more electrical energy to
be recovered.
If the brake pedal is depressed too
strongly, the recovered amount indica-
tor will reach the maximum level and
the upper limit of the recoverable
energy will be exceeded. Therefore, be
sure to operate the brake pedal early.
■Use the air conditioning sys-
tem appropriately, and also
utilize the heated steering
wheel (if equipped) and seat
heaters
In EV mode, the vehicle is cooled
and heated by electrical energy.
(Except in extremely cold tempera-
tures of approximately -10°C (14°F)
or less.)
Preventing excessive cooling or
heating of the vehicle will reduce
power consumption and improve
electrical efficiency.
The heated steering wheel (if
equipped) and seat heaters are effi-
cient heating device that directly
warm the body using less electric
power.
When used together with the air condi-
tioning system, a low temperature set-
ting can be used to improve electrical
and fuel efficiency.
■Check the tire pressure
If the tire pressure is lower than the
specified value, it will worsen the
electrical and fuel efficiency.

*: Flashes for a certain period of time, and then turns off.
■Charging indicator of the charging port
When a system malfunction occurs while charging or using the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System, the charging indicator rapidly flashes for a certain period of time, and
then turns off.
If this occurs, when a door is opened with the power switch off, a message is dis-
played on the multi-information display. When a message is displayed, follow the
instructions displayed on the screen.

WARNING
●Connect to an AC 220 V - 240 V socket with a Residual Current Cir-
cuit-Breaker (RCCB) and supplied by a circuit breaker in line with local regulations. Use of an individual cir-
cuit provided with at least 13A is strongly recommended.
●Do not connect the AC charging cable to a multi-socket adaptor, multi-plugs, or conversion plug.
●Connecting the AC charging cable to an extension cord is strictly pro-
hibited. The extension cord may overheat and does not contain a Residual Current Circuit-Breaker
(RCCB). The leakage detection function of the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) ( P.112) may not operate correctly.
●Do not connect to a power strip.
●Use of a block heater socket which
fails to meet the requirements is prohibited for charging.
●Make sure to connect the charging connector and AC charging inlet directly. Do not connect a convert-
ing adaptor or extension cord between the charging connector and AC charging inlet.
