Odometer and trip meter display
■
When the "POWER" switch is turned off, the odometer or trip meter display will
extinguish after approximately 30 seconds.
CAUTION
When starting the hybrid system
■
Always start the hybrid system while sitting in the driver' s seat. Do not depress the
accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Caution while driving
■
If hybrid 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 hybrid system in an emergency
■
If you want to stop the hybrid 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. 741)
However, do not touch the "POWER" switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the hybrid 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.
