Specific design characteris-
tics give it a higher center of
gravity than ordinary passen-
ger cars. This vehicle design
feature causes this type of
vehicle to be more likely to
rollover. And, utility vehicles
have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types
of vehicles.

An advantage of the higher
ground clearance is a better
view of the road allowing you
to anticipate problems.

It is not designed for corner-
ing at the same speeds as
ordinary passenger cars any
more than low-slung sports
cars are designed to perform
satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Therefore, sharp
turns at excessive speeds
may cause the vehicle to roll-
over.

Utility vehicle precau-

tions

This vehicle belongs to the
utility vehicle class, which
has higher ground clear-
ance and narrower tread in
relation to the height of its
center of gravity.

WARNING

Utility vehicle precautions

Always observe the following pre-

cautions to minimize the risk of

death, serious injury or damage to

your vehicle:

In a rollover crash, an unbelted

person is significantly more

likely to die than a person wear-

ing a seat belt. Therefore, the

driver and all passengers

should always fasten their seat

belts.

Avoid sharp turns or abrupt

maneuvers, if at all possible.

Failure to operate this vehicle

correctly may result in loss of

control or vehicle rollover caus-

ing death or serious injury.

Loading cargo on the roof lug-

gage carrier (if equipped) will

make the center of the vehicle

gravity higher. Avoid high

speeds, sudden starts, sharp

turns, sudden braking or abrupt

maneuvers, otherwise it may

result in loss of control or vehi-

cle rollover due to failure to

operate this vehicle correctly.

Always slow down in gusty

crosswinds. Because of its pro-

file and higher center of gravity,

your vehicle is more sensitive to

side winds than an ordinary

passenger car. Slowing down

will allow you to have better

control.

Do not drive horizontally across

steep slopes. Driving straight up

or straight down is preferred.

Your vehicle (or any similar

off-road vehicle) can tip over

sideways much more easily

than forward or backward.

4-6. Driving tips

Your vehicle is not designed to
be driven off-road. However, in
the event that off-road driving
cannot be avoided, please
observe the following precau-
tions to help avoid the areas
prohibited to vehicles.

Drive your vehicle only in
areas where off-road vehicles
are permitted to travel.

Respect private property. Get
owner’s permission before
entering private property.

Do not enter areas that are
closed. Honor gates, barriers
and signs that restrict travel.

Stay on established roads.
When conditions are wet,
driving techniques should be
changed or travel delayed to
prevent damage to roads.

Additional information for

off-road driving

For owners in U.S. mainland,

Hawaii and Puerto Rico:

To obtain additional information per-

taining to driving your vehicle

off-road, consult the following orga-

nizations.

U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of

Land Management

Off-road driving

WARNING

Off-road driving precautions

Always observe the following pre-

cautions to minimize the risk of

death, serious injury or damage to

your vehicle:

Drive carefully when off the

road. Do not take unnecessary

risks by driving in dangerous

places.

Do not grip the steering wheel

spokes when driving off-road. A

bad bump could jerk the wheel

and injure your hands. Keep

both hands and especially your

thumbs on the outside of the

rim.

Always check your brakes for

effectiveness immediately after

driving in sand, mud, water or

snow.

After driving through tall grass,

mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc.,

check that there is no grass,

bush, paper, rags, stone, sand,

etc. adhering or trapped on the

underbody. Clear off any such

matter from the underbody. If

the vehicle is used with these

materials trapped or adhering to

the underbody, a breakdown or

fire could occur.

When driving off-road or in rug-

ged terrain, do not drive at

excessive speeds, jump, make

sharp turns, strike objects, etc.

This may cause loss of control

or vehicle rollover causing

death or serious injury. You are

also risking expensive damage

to your vehicle’s suspension

and chassis.

NOTICE

To prevent water damage

Take all necessary safety mea-

sures to ensure that water dam-

age to the hybrid battery (traction

battery), hybrid system or other

components does not occur.

Water entering the engine com-

partment may cause severe

damage to the hybrid system.

Water entering the interior may

cause the hybrid battery (trac-

tion battery) stowed under the

rear seats to short circuit.

Water entering the hybrid trans-

mission will cause deterioration

in transmission quality. The mal-

function indicator may come on,

and the vehicle may not be driv-

able.

Water can wash the grease

from wheel bearings, causing

rusting and premature failure,

and may also enter the hybrid

transmission case, reducing the

gear oil’s lubricating qualities.

When you drive through

water

If driving through water, such as

when crossing shallow streams,

first check the depth of the water

and the bottom of the riverbed for

firmness. Drive slowly and avoid

deep water.

Inspection after off-road driv-

ing

Sand and mud that has accu-

mulated in brake drums and

around brake discs may affect

braking efficiency and may

damage brake system compo-

nents.

Always perform a maintenance

inspection after each day of

off-road driving that has taken

you through rough terrain, sand,

mud, or water. For scheduled

maintenance information, refer

to the “Scheduled Maintenance

Guide” or “Owner’s Manual

Supplement”.

Interior

featur

es

The windows may fog up if the

recirculated air mode is used.

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

from entering the vehicle interior

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.

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 restricted when auto-

matic mode is selected

To improve air conditioning perfor-

mance, perform the following

operations:

• Adjust the fan speed

• Turn off Eco drive mode (

P.319)

When the outside temperature

is low

The dehumidification function may

not operate even when the “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.
