4-1. Before driving
WARNING
●
Do not attach adhesive discs to the
windshield or windows. Do not
place containers such as air fresh-
eners on the instrument panel or
dashboard. Adhesive discs or con-
tainers may act as lenses, causing
a fire in the vehicle.
●
Do not leave a door or window
open if the curved glass is coated
with a metallized film such as a sil-
ver-colored one. Reflected sunlight
may cause the glass to act as a
lens, causing a fire.
●
Always apply the parking brake,
shift the shift lever to P, stop the
hybrid system and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unat-
tended while the "READY" indicator
is illuminated.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift
lever in P but the parking brake is
not set, the vehicle may start to
move, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
●
Do not touch the exhaust pipes
while the "READY" indicator is illu-
minated or immediately after turn-
ing the hybrid system off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■
When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the hybrid system off.
Otherwise, if you accidentally move
the shift lever or depress the acceler-
ator pedal, this could cause an acci-
dent or fire due to hybrid system
overheating. Additionally, if the vehi-
cle 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 electronically controlled brake
system does not operate, do not fol-
low other vehicles closely 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. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
●
The brake system consists of 2 or
more individual hydraulic systems;
if one of the systems fails, the
other(s) will still operate. In this
case, the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual
and the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed
immediately.
■
If the vehicle becomes stuck
Do not spin the wheels excessively
when a driven wheel is up in the air,
or the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud,
etc. This may damage the driveline
components or propel the vehicle for-
ward or backward, causing an acci-
dent.
NOTICE
■
When driving the vehicle
●
Do not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving, as this may restrain the
hybrid system output.
