Floor mat installation

Use only floor mats designed specifically for vehicles of the same model and model year as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place onto the carpet.

Insert the retaining hooks (clips) into the floor mat eyelets.

Turn the upper knob of each retaining hook (clip) to secure the floor mats in place.

*: Always align the marks.

The shape of the retaining hooks (clips) may differ from that shown in the illustration.

GS450h_QG_OM30D84U_(U)

Hybrid System

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate with care. The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions. For details, refer to the “Owner’s Manual”.

■ Hybrid System Indicator

Charge area

Shows regenerative charging.

Hybrid Eco area

Shows that gasoline engine power is not being used very often. The gasoline engine will automatically stop and restart under various conditions.

Eco area Shows that the vehicle is being driven in an Eco-friendly manner.

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving range is being exceeded (during full power driving etc.)

● Hybrid System Indicator is displayed when the driving mode is other than the sport mode.

● By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can be achieved.

● Charge area indicates regeneration the battery.

* status. Regenerated energy will be used to charge

*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of energy created by

the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.

GS450h_QG_OM30D84U_(U)

■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)

If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged. Always put the shift lever in P when the vehicle is stopped. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the vehicle with the shift lever in D or S to avoid discharging the battery.

■ Regenerative braking

In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (traction battery).

● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or S.

● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or S.

■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move. For safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift the shift position to P when parked. The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are not a malfunction:

● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear seats

when the hybrid system starts or stops.

● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid is open.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid transmission when the hybrid system starts or

stops.

● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed.

● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vents on the both sides of the rear

seatback.

■ Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to add to make the low fuel level warning light go out is about 2.6 gal. [10.0 L,

2.2 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is on a slope.)

GS450h_QG_OM30D84U_(U)
