CAUTION

depress the accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any cir-
cumstances.

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. 610)
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.
