Snow mode can be selected to suit the
conditions when driving on slippery
road surfaces, such as on snow.
Turn the
switch backward.
The snow mode indicator comes on.
Turn the
switch backward again to
return to normal mode.

the power switch is turned off after driving
in snow mode.
To drive using temporary shift range
selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle
shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is

■
P position switch
●
Do not press the P position switch
while the vehicle is moving.
If the P position switch is pressed when
driving at very low speeds (for exam-
ple, directly before stopping the vehi-
cle), the vehicle may stop suddenly
when the shift position switches to P,
which could lead to an accident.
●
In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the P position switch or shift
lever when not using them.
NOTICE
■
Notes regarding shift lever and P
position switch operation
Avoid repeatedly operating the shift
lever and P position switch in quick suc-
cession.
The system protection function may acti-
vate and it will not be temporarily possi-
ble to shift the shift position other than P.
If this happens, please wait for a while
before attempting to change the shift
position again.
■
When exiting the vehicle (driver’s
seat only)
Check that the shift position indicator
shows P and that the parking brake indi-
cator is illuminated before opening the
door and exiting the vehicle.
■
When changing the power switch to
ACCESSORY mode with the shift
position held in N
Even if the hybrid system is not operating,
by operating the shift lever and the
power switch, the power switch may be
changed to ACCESSORY mode with
the shift position held in N. Make sure
that the hybrid system is operating
before performing the operation.

is operated, the shift range switches to
a range that is one range higher than
the current range.
Changing the shift range allows
restriction of the highest shift range,
preventing unnecessary upshifting and
enabling the level of engine braking
force to be selected.

Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D10,
will be displayed in the meter.
To return to normal D position driving, the
“+” paddle shift switch must be held down
for a period of time.
A lower shift range will provide greater
engine braking forces than a higher shift
range.
■
Automatic deactivation of shift range
selection in the D position
Shift range selection in the D position will
be deactivated in the following situations:
●
When the vehicle comes to a stop
●
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for
more than a certain period of time
●
When the shift lever is moved to D again
●
When the “+” paddle shift switch is
pressed and held
●
When dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range is operating

• Vehicle speed is above approximately 21
mph (34 km/h).
• The area ahead of the vehicle is dark.
• There are no vehicles ahead with head-
lights or tail lights turned on.
• There are few streetlights on the road
ahead.

appear from a curve
• When the vehicle is cut in front of by
another vehicle
• When vehicles ahead are hidden from
sight due to repeated curves, road divid-
ers or roadside trees
• When vehicles ahead appear from the
faraway lane on wide road
• When vehicles ahead have no lights

The high beam may be turned off if a
vehicle ahead that is using fog lights with-
out using the headlights is detected.
Automatic High Beam
The Automatic High Beam uses an
in-vehicle front camera to assess
the brightness of streetlights, the
lights of vehicle ahead, etc., and
automatically turns the high beam
on or off as necessary.
WARNING
■
Limitations of the Automatic High
Beam
Do not rely on the Automatic High
Beam. Always drive safely, taking care to
observe your surroundings and turning
the high beam on or off manually if nec-

Driving
●
House lights, street lights, traffic signals,
and illuminated billboards or signs may
cause the high beam to switch to the low
beams, or the low beams to remain on.
●
The following factors may affect the
amount of time taken to turn the high
beam on or off:
• The brightness of headlights, fog lights,
and tail lights of vehicles ahead
• The movement and direction of vehicles
ahead
• When a vehicle ahead only has opera-
tional lights on one side
• When a vehicle ahead is a two-wheeled
vehicle
• The condition of the road (gradient,
curve, condition of the road surface etc.)
• The number of passengers and amount of
luggage
●
The high beam may be turned on or off
when the driver does not expect it.
●
Bicycles or similar objects may not be
detected.
●
In the situations shown below, the system
may not be able to accurately detect sur-
rounding brightness levels. This may
cause the low beams to remain on or the
high beams to cause problems for pedes-
trians, vehicles ahead or other parties. In
these cases, manually switch between the
high and low beams.
• In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sand-
storms etc.)
• The windshield is obscured by fog, mist,
ice, dirt etc.
• The windshield is cracked or damaged.
• The front camera is deformed or dirty.
• Surrounding brightness levels are equal
to those of headlights, tail lights or fog
lights.
• Vehicles ahead have headlights or tail
lights that are either switched off, dirty,
changing color, or have improperly
adjusted aim.
• When driving through an area of inter-
mittently changing brightness and dark-
ness.
• When frequently and repeatedly driving
ascending/descending roads, or roads
with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces
(such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks
etc.).
• When frequently and repeatedly taking
curves or driving on a winding road.
• There is a highly reflective object ahead
of the vehicle, such as a sign or a mirror.
• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or
dirty.
• The vehicle is listing or titling, due to a flat
tire, a trailer being towed etc.
• The driver believes that the high beam
may be causing problems or distress to
other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

Front door opening linked windshield
wiper stop function
When “AUTO” is selected and the wind-
shield wipers are operating, if a front door is
opened, the operation of the windshield
wipers will be stopped to prevent anyone
near the vehicle from being sprayed by
water from the wipers, provided the vehicle
is stopped. When the front door is closed,
wiper operation will resume.
■
To protect the windshield wipers
If movement of the windshield wipers is
largely restricted by a foreign object such as
snow, the operation of the windshield wip-
ers may be stopped automatically to pro-
tect the windshield wipers. In this case, turn
the windshield wiper switch off and remove
the foreign object, and then use the wind-
shield wipers.
■

tem> in an emergency while driving
If the windshield wipers are operating when
the engine <hybrid system> is stopped, the
windshield wipers will operate in high speed
operation. After the vehicle is stopped,
operation will return to normal when the
engine switch <power switch> is turned to
IGNITION ON mode <ON mode>, or
operation will stop when the driver’s door is
opened.
