2-1. Driving procedures
When stopping the hybrid system with the shift lever in a position other than P
If the hybrid system is stopped with the shift lever in a position other than
P, the "POWER" switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to
ACCESSORY mode. Perform the following procedure to turn the switch
off:
Check that the parking brake is set.
STEP 1
Shift the shift lever to P.
STEP 2
Check that the indicator on the "POWER" switch is illuminated in
STEP 3
amber and then press the "POWER" switch once.

Auto power off function
■
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY or ON mode (the hybrid system is not operat-
ing) for more than an hour with the shift lever in P, the "POWER" switch will auto-
matically turn off. However, this function cannot entirely prevent 12-volt battery
discharge. Do not leave the vehicle with the "POWER" switch in ACCESSORY or
ON mode for long periods of time when the hybrid system is not operating.
Operation of the "POWER" switch
■
When operating the "POWER" switch, one short, firm press is enough. If the switch
is pressed improperly, the hybrid system may not start or the "POWER" switch
mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and hold the switch.
