2-2. Driving procedures
Changing the shift position
WARNING
Do not let the vehicle roll backward
●
while a forward driving position is
selected, or roll forward while the shift
position is in R.
Doing so may result in an accident or
damage to the vehicle.
Do not shift the shift position to P while
●
the vehicle is moving. Doing so can
damage the transmission and may
result in a loss of vehicle control.
Do not shift the shift position to R while
●
the vehicle is moving forward. Doing
so can damage the transmission and
may result in a loss of vehicle control.
Do not shift the shift position to a driv-
●
ing position while the vehicle is moving
backward. Doing so can damage the
transmission and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●
Changing the shift position to N while
the vehicle is moving will disengage
the EV system. Regenerative braking
is not available with the EV system dis-
engaged.
●
Be careful not to change the shift posi-
tion with the accelerator pedal
depressed. Changing the shift posi-
tion to any positions other than P or N
may lead to unexpected rapid acceler-
ation of the vehicle that may cause an
accident and result in death or serious
injury. After changing the shift position,
make sure to confirm the current shift
position displayed on the shift position
indicator inside the meter.
