Operation of the power switch
●
When operating the power switch, one short, firm press is enough. If the
switch is pressed improperly, the EV system may not start or the power
switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and hold the
switch.
●
If attempting to restart the EV system immediately after turning the power
switch off, the EV system may not start in some cases. After turning the
power switch off, please wait a few seconds before restarting the EV sys-
tem.

CAUTION
■
When starting the EV system
Always start the EV system while sitting in the driver's seat. Do not depress
the accelerator pedal while starting the EV system under any circum-
stances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■
Caution while driving
If EV system failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open
the doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of
the steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■
Stopping the EV system in an emergency
If you want to stop the EV system in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the power switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession. (P. 329)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the EV system off while driving will not cause loss of steering
or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This
will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
