ture
● The vehicle is equipped with a feature
that automatically shuts off the hybrid sys-
tem when the shift lever is in P with the
hybrid system operating for an extended
period.
● The hybrid system will automatically shut
off after approximately 1 hour if it has
been left running while the shift lever is in
P.
The timer for the automatic hybrid system
●
shut off feature will reset if the brake
pedal is depressed or if the shift lever is in
a position other than P.
After the vehicle is parked, if the door is
●
locked with the door lock switch
(P.110) from the inside or the mechani-
cal key from the outside, the automatic
hybrid system shut off feature will be dis-

WARNING
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.378)
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.
If the power switch is operated while
●
the vehicle is running, a warning mes-
sage will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and a buzzer sounds.
● When restarting the hybrid system
after an emergency shutdown, shift the
shift lever to N and press the power
switch shortly and firmly.
