ÿ About starting uphill
Hill start assist control is activated. (ÿ P.361)
ÿ How to drive to improve fuel efficiency
For hybrid vehicles, it is necessary to take the same precautions as for ordinary gasoline vehicles, such as refraining from
sudden acceleration. (ÿ P.373)
ÿ About driving in the rain
•When it rains, your visibility will be poor, the windows will fog up, and the road
surface will become slippery, so drive carefully.
•Ride carefully as the road surface becomes more slippery when it starts to rain.
• When driving at high speed in the rain, a film of water may form between the tires
and the road surface, making the steering and brakes ineffective.
ÿ Suppression of hybrid system output (brake override system)
• Hybrid system output may be suppressed when the accelerator pedal and brake
pedal are depressed at the same time.
•While the brake override system is operating, a message will appear on the multi-
information display. Follow the instructions on the screen that appears.
