For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar to conventional vehicles, and it
is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. (P. 295)
■
Driving in the rain
●
Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
●
Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
●
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.

hybrid system output may be restrained.
●
A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the

put may be restrained.

or P to R with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning message
appears on the multi-information display. If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display, read the message and follow the instruc-
tion.
