roads.

CAUTION
 Use tyres of the same specified size, same
type, same brand and no wear difference. If
tyres of different size, type, brand and degree
of wear are used, a warning of Hybrid EV
System abnormality may be displayed.
NOTE
 Even if the drive mode is selected, after put-
ting the operation mode of the power switch
OFF and putting to ON again, the drive
mode is set to “NORMAL”.
 The drive mode can be switched while driv-
ing or stopped.
 Selecting TARMAC mode makes the engine
easier to start. Also, since the response to the
operation of the accelerator pedal becomes
better, there may be a shock when stepping
on the accelerator pedal.
 If TARMAC mode is selected while driving
in “D” (DRIVE) position, the vehicle auto-
matically switches to “B” (REGENERA-
TIVE BRAKE) position.
 When you select the TARMAC mode in situ-
ations such as the following, a large regener-
ative braking force may not work.
• When the drive battery temperature is high
or low.
• When the drive battery is close to fully
charged, or when the full charge.
 If you set the cruise control, the select posi-
tion will be “D” (DRIVE) position while
driving in the TARMAC mode.
Even if you cancel cruise control while in
TARMAC mode, the select position will not
switch from the “D” (DRIVE) position to the
“B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE) position.
 Since the air conditioning operation is con-
trolled while the TARMAC mode is select-
ing, you may feel that effectiveness of the air
conditioning is weak.
 While driving the vehicle with EV priority
mode activated, if the engine is started by the
accelerator, the vehicle may accelerate more
quickly.
 In the following conditions, the EV priority
mode cannot be used even if the EV priority
mode is selected, a buzzer will sound and the
message will appear in the instrument clus-
ter.
• When the remaining power in the drive bat-
tery is low.
Charge the drive battery. Refer to “Battery
charge mode” on page 6-25.
