anywhere inside the engine compart-

ment. The cooling fan may operate

suddenly. Keep hands and clothing

(especially a tie, scarf, muffler, etc.)

away from the fans as they may get

caught in a fan, resulting in serious

injury.

●

Do not stop the vehicle near objects

which burn easily. If the exhaust system

is extremely hot, it may cause a fire.

●

Do not use in places where corrosive

gases or fluids are generated.

●

If the charge level of the hybrid battery

(traction battery) becomes low, the

gasoline engine will operate automati-

cally. When using a power outlet in an

area with poor ventilation, such as a

garage, or an enclosed area (covered

with snow), to prevent the exhaust gas-

ses from accumulating and causing a

lack of oxygen, make sure to properly

install and use an air supply/exhaust

device. Do not use the power outlets if

such a device cannot be installed.

●

Observe the following precautions

when a connected cord is to be

brought outside the vehicle:

• Take due care for not allowing rain to

enter.

If the power outlet are wet with rain-

drops, dry them before use.

• Do not have cords pinched in a win-

dow or door.

WARNING

• Allow slack in a connected cord. Do

not cause it to be extraordinary tense.

• Do not start off the vehicle by mistake.

■

Use of a power outlet while driving

●

In situations such as the following, do

not use an electric device while driv-

ing. Also, do not use a device if it can-

not be secured within the vehicle.

• When a device is likely to distract the

driver and be a hindrance to safe driv-

ing, such as a TV, video/DVD player,

etc.

• When an inadequately secured device

is likely to fall over in case of sudden

braking or an accident

• When a device is likely to cause fire if it

falls or generates heat

• When a device is likely to cause burns,

such as a toaster, microwave, electric

heater, electric kettle, coffee maker,

etc.

• When a device is likely to fall under the

pedals and prevent the brake pedal

from being depressed, such as a hair

dryer, AC adapter, mouse, etc.

●

Do not use devices which produce

steam while the windows are closed.

Doing so may cause the windows to

fog up, reducing visibility and making it

difficult to drive safely. Also, the steam

may damage or negatively affect other

devices. If the device must be used,

stop the vehicle and open the windows

before use.

NOTICE

■

To avoid short circuit or malfunction

Observe the following precautions. Fail-

ure to do so may lead to the power out-

lets not operating correctly or damage to

the vehicle or a connected device.

●

Do not set a toaster or other device

which generates heat near the interior

components or on a seat. Heat may

cause these parts to melt or burn.

●

Do not use devices which are sensitive

to vibration or heat in the vehicle.

These devices may malfunction due to

vibration while driving or heat while

the vehicle is parked in the sun.

●

When not using a power outlet, make

sure to close the lid. If foreign matter or

a liquid enters the power outlet, it may

cause a malfunction or short circuit.

■

Using the power outlet while parked

or stopped

●

Water may leak from the exhaust pipe

while the engine running if the power

outlet is used for a long time. However,

this is not a malfunction.

●

At extremely low temperatures, water

may freeze in the exhaust pipe and

make it difficult to start the engine, or

an odor may come from the exhaust

pipe. In this case, stop using the power

outlet, and then drive the vehicle for 15

to 30 minutes.
