● Drive carefully when it starts to
rain, as the road surface could be
especially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ ECO Accelerator Guidance
(

P.108)
It is easier to drive in an Eco-friendly
manner by driving while referring to
the ECO Accelerator Guidance dis-
play. Also, by using the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance it is easier to
increase the “Eco Score” evaluation.
● When starting off:
While staying within the ECO
Accelerator Guidance range,
gradually depress the accelerator
pedal and accelerate to the
desired speed. If excessive accel-
eration is avoided, the “Start”
score will increase.
● When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance range. By keeping the vehi-
cle within the ECO Accelerator
Guidance range, the “Cruise”
score will increase.
● When stopping:
When stopping the vehicle, early
releasing the accelerator pedal
will cause the “Stop” score to
increase.
■ Restraining the hybrid system
output (Brake Override System)
● When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the hybrid system output
may be restrained.
● A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display
and head-up display (if equipped)
while the system is operating.
(

P.469)
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control)
● When the following unusual oper-
ation is performed, the hybrid sys-
tem output may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from
R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D
*
, or
P to R
*
(D includes S) with the
accelerator pedal depressed, a
warning message appears on the
multi-information display and
head-up display (if equipped). If a
warning message is shown on the
multi-information display and
head-up display (if equipped),
read the message and follow the
instructions.
• When the accelerator pedal is
depressed too much while the
vehicle is in reverse.
*
: Depending on the situation, the
shift position may not be changed.
● When the TRAC is turned off
(

P.336), sudden start restraint
control also does not operate. If
your vehicle have trouble escap-
ing from the mud or fresh snow
due to the sudden start restraint
control operation, deactivate
TRAC(

P.336) so that the vehi-
cle may become able to escape
from the mud or fresh snow.
