Set the drive mode to “SNOW” in accordance
with the road conditions, and then gradually
depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth
start.
Set the drive mode to “LOCK” and then grad-
ually depress the accelerator pedal for a
smooth start. Keep the pressure on the accel-
erator pedal as constant as possible, and drive
at low speed.
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and regenerative brake on
steep slope. Avoid driving on steep slopes
even though the vehicle is an 4-wheel drive
vehicle.

After operating the vehicle in rough road con-
ditions, be sure to perform the following
inspection and maintenance procedures:
 Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
 Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry
out the brakes. If the brakes still do not
function properly, we recommend you to
have the brakes checked as soon as possi-
ble.
 Remove the insects, dried grass, etc. clog-
ging the radiator core.
 Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
 Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.

Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.

Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on
page 12-7.
 When moving out of mud, sand or fresh
snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not
allow the Plug-in Hybrid EV system output
to increase. In such situations, switching to
“LOCK” with the drive mode switch and
temporarily turning off the Active stability
control (ASC) with the “ASC OFF” switch
will make it easier to move out your vehicle.
Refer to “Operation under adverse driving
conditions: If your vehicle becomes stuck in
sand, mud or snow” page 9-21.
On snowy or icy roads
CAUTION
 Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.
NOTE
 The use of snow tyres and/or snow traction
device (tyre chains) is recommended.

Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use regenerative
braking.
