2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
■
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the
shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or
fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in
a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle,
leading to death or a serious health hazard.
■
When braking
●
When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
●
If the brake system warning light (yellow indicator) comes on, maintain a
larger than usual distance between you and the vehicle ahead, and avoid
hills or sharp turns that require braking.
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase.
●
If the brake system warning light (red indicator) comes on, there may be a
malfunction with the brake's hydraulic system. Immediately stop the vehi-
cle in a safe place and contact your Toyota dealer.
In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual
and the braking distance will increase. Do not continue to drive the vehicle
in this condition.
