4-1. Before driving
WARNING
■
When driving the vehicle
Do not drive if you are unfamiliar
●
with the location of the brake and
accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accel-
erator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden accelera-
tion that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist
your body around, leading to a diffi-
culty in operating the pedals. Make
sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving
posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you
to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your
right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay
response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
Except for Taiwan: The driver
●
should pay extra attention to pedes-
trians when the vehicle is powered
only by the electric motor (traction
motor). As there is no engine noise,
the pedestrians may misjudge the
vehicle's movement. Even though
the vehicle is equipped with the
vehicle proximity notification sys-
tem, drive with care as pedestrians
in the vicinity may still not notice the
vehicle if the surrounding area is
noisy.
Do not drive the vehicle over or
●
stop the vehicle near flammable
materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust
gases can be extremely hot. These
hot parts may cause a fire if there is
any flammable material nearby.

During normal driving, do not turn
●
off the hybrid system. Turning the
hybrid system off while driving will
not cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, however, power assist
to the steering will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In the event of an emergency, such
as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way:
P.400
Use engine braking (shift position
●
B) to maintain a safe speed when
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may
cause the brakes to overheat and
lose effectiveness. (
Do not adjust the positions of the
●
steering wheel, the seat, or the
inside or outside rear view mirrors
while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●
Always check that all passengers'
arms, heads or other parts of their
body are not outside the vehicle.
■
When driving on slippery road
surfaces
Sudden braking, acceleration and
●
steering may cause tire slippage
and reduce your ability to control
the vehicle.
●
Sudden acceleration, engine brak-
ing due to shifting, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehi-
cle to skid.
