Towing a Trailer

Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your
warranties.

When Driving

Turning on the Power

1.

Make sure the parking brake is applied.

u

The parking brake indicator (red) comes
on for 30 seconds when you pull up the
electric parking brake switch.

2.

Depress the brake pedal.

1

Turning on the Power

Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the power system.

The engine is harder to start in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400
meters).

When turning on the power system in cold weather,
turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to
reduce 12-volt battery drain.

If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold,
an engine block heater will improve starting and
warming of the engine. Consult a dealer for details.

If exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can smell
exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with
the engine or exhaust system.

The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from
theft.
If an improperly coded key (or other device) is used,
the power system does not activate.

Driving

Precautions While Driving

Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the power
system or driveline, or cause electrical component failure.

If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.

In Rain

Other Precautions

Precautions While Driving

NOTICE

Do not change the transmission while pressing the
accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission.

NOTICE

If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.

If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the power system will shut down and all
steering and brake power assist functions will stop,
making it difficult to control the vehicle.

Do not put the transmission into

(

N

, as you will lose

regenerative braking (and acceleration) performance.

During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation,
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so
as not to damage the power system or powertrain.

Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km)
after purchasing your new vehicle or replacing the
brake pads or rotors, to allow for proper break-in.

Transmission

As with a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle with an automatic transmission,
this vehicle will creep.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.

The accelerator pedal is equipped with a kickdown switch. When you depress the
accelerator pedal to the point at which the switch is activated, the vehicle will
suddenly accelerate with greater power, similar to what happens in a vehicle
equipped with an automatic transmission.

While the High Voltage battery level is full, or the
High Voltage battery temperature is low,
regenerative braking may become less effective.

To prevent malfunction and unintended
engagement:

Do not spill any liquids on or around shift buttons.

Do not place or drop any objects on or around shift
buttons.

Do not let passengers or children operate the shift
buttons.

You may occasionally find that it takes longer than
usual for the vehicle to start moving when you select

, release the brake pedal, and/or depress the

accelerator pedal. This may occur when the High
Voltage battery level is extremely low, and does not
indicate a vehicle malfunction.
