CAUTION
The driver should pay special atten-
D
tion to pedestrians when the vehicle
is powered only by the traction mo-
tor. Because there is no engine
noise, the pedestrians may mis-
judge the vehicle's movement.
When you leave your vehicle, be
D
sure to turn off the hybrid system.
Be sure to put the transmission in
D
the "P" position because the ve-
hicle can move when the "READY"
light is on even if the engine is
stopped. When the "READY" light is
on, do not leave your vehicle in a
shift position other than the "P"
and "N" positions. The vehicle will
creep and start abruptly if the ac-
celerator pedal is depressed
mistake. This may cause death or
serious injury.

The multi−information display
by
The navigation system screen
If you open the door with the hybrid
system turned on and the transmission
is not in the "P" position, a message
appears on the multi−information dis-
play and navigation system screen (for
vehicles with navigation system).
When you leave your vehicle, or stop
D
or park for a while, put the transmis-
sion in the "P" position.
Charging the traction battery while driv-
D
ing is important. In the "N" position,
the traction battery will not be charged.
Do not leave the transmission in the
"N" position. The motor generator oper-
ates in the "P", "R", "D" and "B" posi-
tions. When you drive, put the trans-
mission in the "D" or "B" position and
depress the accelerator pedal. When
driving in a traffic jam, operate the
vehicle in the "D" position to prevent
the traction battery from being dischar-
ged.
