CAUTION
 Always use tires of the same size, type, and
brand that have no wear differences. Using
tires of different size, type, brands or degree
of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-
perature and result in possible damage to the
driving system. Further, the drive train will

be subject to excessive loading, possibly
leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or
other serious failures.

• Do not turn on the Plug-in Hybrid EV
system.
• Do not turn the jacked-up wheel.
The tire on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
 Do not touch the high voltage area.
Doing so can result in electrocution and
serious injury or death.
EV switch
To drive the vehicle without starting the
engine as much as possible, the EV priority
mode can be used.
This mode helps drive the vehicle at a place
needed for concern of noises and exhaust gas
emissions, such as residential areas etc.
To switch to the EV priority mode, press the
EV switch with operation mode of the power
switch in ON.
If the EV switch is pressed, you can drive the
vehicle by using only the EV drive mode as
much as possible, even if the accelerator
pedal is roughly depressed.
To cancel the EV priority mode, press the EV
switch again.
When the operation mode of the power
switch is put in OFF, the EV priority mode
will be canceled.
