WARNING
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 a 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. Doing so
may cause activation of the steering lock which may lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
When "CHECK SMART KEY SYSTEM" is displayed on the multi-infor-
■
mation display
The system may be malfunctioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately. Failure to do so may lead to the system operat-
ing abnormally and possibly cause an accident or damage to the vehicle.
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. 431)
However, do not touch the "POWER" switch while driving except in an
emergency. Turning the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, however, power assist to the steering will be
lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
