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 cir-
cumstances.
Doing so may cause 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 vehi-
cle, press and hold the "POWER" switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P. 569)
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, 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.
