CAUTION
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 3 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in succession. (P. 650)
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, but the power assist to these systems will be lost.
This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the "POWER" switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long
periods of time without the hybrid system on.
If the smart entry & start system indicator light (green) is illuminated, the
"POWER" switch is not off. When exiting the vehicle, always check that the
"POWER" switch is off.
Do not stop the hybrid system when the shift lever is in a position other
than P. If the hybrid system is stopped in another shift lever position, the
"POWER" switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to ACCES-
SORY mode. If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode, 12-volt battery
discharge may occur.
When starting the hybrid system
If the hybrid system becomes difficult to start, have your vehicle checked by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.
Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the "POWER" switch
If the "POWER" switch seems to be operating somewhat differently than
usual, such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Con-
tact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.
