Driving
Check the parking brake indicator
is illuminated.
3 Shift the shift position to P.
4 Press the power switch
shortly and firmly.

meter display will be extinguished.

play.
■ Automatic hybrid system shut
off feature
● The vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts off
the hybrid system when the shift
lever is in P with the hybrid system
operating for an extended period.
● The hybrid system will automati-
cally 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.132) from the inside or
the mechanical key (P.663) from
the outside, the automatic hybrid
system shut off feature will be dis-
abled. The timer for the automatic
hybrid system shut off feature will
be re-enabled if the driver’s door
is opened.
WARNING
■ Stopping the hybrid system
in an emergency
● If you want to stop the hybrid
system in an emergency while
driving the vehicle, press and
hold the power switch for more
than 2 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in suc-
cession. (P.629)
However, do not touch the
power switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the hybrid system off while
driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, how-
ever, power assist to the steer-
ing 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 message will be shown
on the multi-information display
and a buzzer sounds.
● When restarting the hybrid sys-
tem after an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N
and press the power switch
shortly and firmly.
■ When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases to enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
● If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the
hybrid system.
