Detection range of the cameras
and sensors

●

If a parked vehicle is behind the
target parking space and the dis-
tance between it and the vehicle
becomes far, it may no longer be
able to be detected. Depending on
shape or condition of a parked
vehicle, the detection range may
become short or the vehicle may
not be detected.

●

Objects other than parked vehi-
cles, such as columns, walls, etc.,
may not be detected. Also, if they
are detected, they may cause the
target parking space to be mis-
aligned.

■

Situations in which parking
space lines may not be recog-
nized properly

●

In situations such as the following,
parking space lines on the road
surface may not be detected:

• When the parking space does not

use lines (parking space boundar-
ies are marked with rope, blocks,
etc.)

• When the parking space lines are

faded or dirty, making them
unclear

• When the road surface is bright,

such as concrete, and the contrast
between it and the white parking
space lines is small

• When the parking space lines are

any color other than yellow or
white

• When the area surrounding the

parking space is dark, such as at

night, in an underground parking
lot, parking garage, etc.

• When it is raining or has rained

and the road surface is wet and
reflective or there are puddles

• When the sun is shining directly

into a camera, such as in the early
morning or evening

• When the parking space is cov-

ered with snow or de-icing agent

• When there marks from repairs or

other marks on the road surface,
or there is a traffic bollard, or other
object on the road surface

• When the color or brightness of

the road surface is uneven

• When a camera has been

splashed by hot or cold water and
the lens has fogged up

• When the appearance of the park-

ing space is affected by the
shadow of the vehicle or trees

• When a camera lens is dirty or

covered with water droplets

●

In situations such as the following,
the target parking space may not
be recognized correctly:

• When there marks from repairs or

other marks on the road surface,
or there is a parking block, traffic
bollard, or other object on the road
surface

• When it is raining or has rained

and the road surface is wet and
reflective or there are puddles

• When the area around the vehicle

is dark or backlit

• When the color or brightness of

the road surface is uneven

• When the parking space is on a

slope

• When there are diagonal lines

(access aisle) near the parking
space

• When the appearance of the park-

ing space is affected by the
shadow of a parked vehicle (such
as shadows from the grille, side
step, etc.)

• When accessories which obstruct

the view of the camera are
installed

• When the parking space lines are

faded or dirty, making them

When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. (

Shift the shift position to D when
stopped at a traffic light, or driv-
ing in heavy traffic etc. Shift the
shift position to P when parking.
When using the N, there is no
positive effect on fuel consump-
tion. In the N, the gasoline
engine operates but electricity

cannot be generated. Also,
when using the air conditioning
system, etc., the hybrid battery
(traction battery) power is con-
sumed.



Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual accel-
eration and deceleration will
make more effective use of
the electric motor (traction
motor) without having to use
gasoline engine power.



Avoid repeated acceleration.
Repeated acceleration con-
sumes hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) power, resulting
in poor fuel consumption. Bat-
tery power can be restored by
driving with the accelerator
pedal slightly released.

Make sure to operate the brakes
gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.

Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to
bad fuel economy. Check traffic

reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam,
gently release the brake pedal
to allow the vehicle to move for-
ward slightly while avoiding
overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consump-
tion.

Control and maintain the vehicle
at a constant speed. Before
stopping at a toll booth or simi-
lar, allow plenty of time to
release the accelerator and gen-
tly apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can
be regenerated when slowing
down.

Use the air conditioning only
when necessary. Doing so can
help reduce excessive gasoline
consumption.
In summer: When the ambient
temperature is high, use the
recirculated air mode. Doing so
will help to reduce the burden on
the air conditioning system and
reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline
engine will not automatically cut
out until it and the interior of the
vehicle are warm, it will con-

sume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by
avoiding overuse of the heater.

Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.

Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to poor fuel economy. Avoid car-
