NOTE
l Even if the battery charge mode switch is
pressed, the battery charge mode may not be
activated depending on the remaining drive
battery capacity or the remaining fuel quan-
tity and the control.
l It is recommended to use the battery charge
mode switch at least 20 minutes before you
climb, in order to continue a speed of more
than 100 km/h (62 mph), or when a long
slope (gradient of more than 4 %) is expec-
ted. (According to a towing weight, it may
not be able to continue the speed.)
l When using the battery charge switch with a
vehicle that has stopped in the heath a long
time, it may not charge.
l The charging time close to full charge of the
drive battery becomes longer depending on
the condition of the drive battery, a driving
condition or a environment.
l The engine may stop near full charge.
l If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity while using gaso-
line, the fuel consumption will suffer.
We recommend you to consider the environ-
ment.
NOTE
l When the engine is started while parking,
there is a risk of receiving a penalty due to
idling stop ordinances.
You should use the battery charge mode
switch that conforms to the relevant munici-
pality.
If you press the battery charge switch in or-
der to generate electricity using gasoline, the
fuel consumption will suffer.
l If the battery save mode switch or the EV
switch is pressed while the battery charge
mode is activated, the battery charge mode is
cancelled and the battery save mode or EV
priority mode is activated.
Refer to “Battery save mode switch” on
page 7-27 or “EV switch” on page 7-25.
If the battery charge mode switch is pressed
again, the mode will be returned to the bat-
tery charge mode.
