belt may slide past the hips and

apply restraint forces directly to

the abdomen, or your neck may

contact the shoulder belt,

increasing the risk of death or

serious injury in the event of an

accident.

Adjustments should not be

made while driving as the seat

may unexpectedly move and

cause the driver to lose control

of the vehicle.

●

Manual seat only: After adjust-

ing the seat, make sure that the

seat is locked in position.

tion. (P.226)

■

Driving in the rain

●

Drive carefully when it is raining,

because visibility will be reduced,

the windows may become

fogged-up, and the road will be

slippery.

●

Drive carefully when it starts to

rain, because the road surface will

■

Restraining the hybrid system

output (Brake Override System)

●

When the accelerator and brake

pedals are depressed at the same

time, the hybrid system output

may be restrained.

●

A warning message is displayed

on the multi-information display

while the system is operating.

■

ECO Accelerator Guidance

(P.91)

Eco-friendly driving may be

achieved more easily by staying

within the zone of Eco acceleration.

Also, by staying within the zone of

Eco acceleration, it will be easier to

obtain a good Eco score.

●

When starting off:

Gradually depress the accelerator

pedal to stay within the zone of Eco

acceleration and accelerate to the

desired speed. By refraining from

excessive acceleration, a good eco

start score will be obtained.

●

When driving:

After accelerating to the desired

speed, release the accelerator

pedal and drive at a stable speed

while staying within the zone of Eco

acceleration. By staying within the

zone of Eco acceleration, a good

eco cruise score will be obtained.

●

When stopping:

By starting to release the accelera-

tor pedal early before decelerating,

a good eco stop score will be

obtained.

■

Restraining sudden start

(Drive-Start Control)

●

When the following unusual oper-

ation is performed, the hybrid sys-

tem output may be restrained.

• When the shift lever is shifted from

R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D

*

, or

P to R

*

(D includes B) with the

accelerator pedal depressed, a

warning message appears on the

multi-information display. If a

warning message is shown on the

multi-information display, read the

message and follow the instruc-

tion.

• When the accelerator pedal is

depressed too much while the

vehicle is in reverse.

*

: Depending on the situation, the

shift position may not be changed.

●

While Drive-Start Control is being

activated, your vehicle may have

trouble escaping from the mud or

fresh snow. In such case, deacti-

vate TRAC (P.221) to cancel

Drive-Start Control so that the

vehicle may become able to

escape from the mud or fresh

snow.

■
