Your transmission has a shift lock system
to minimize the possibility of incorrect
operation. This means you can only shift
out of “P” position when the brake pedal
is depressed (with the “POWER” switch
set at ON).
(a) Selector lever
The shift position is also displayed on the
instrument cluster.
P:Parking, hybrid system starting
R: Reverse
N: Neutral
D: Normal driving
B: Engine braking
Transmission
Shift with the brake pedal
depressed.
(The “POWER” switch must be
set at ON.)
Shift normally.

(b) Normal driving1. Start the hybrid system as instructed in “How to start the hybrid system” on
page 301 in Section 3. The transmis-
sion must be in “P”.
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the hybrid
system on. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTICE
Always use the brake pedal or the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(c) Using engine braking
To use engine braking intentionally, shift
the selector lever to the “B” position and
take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
During high speed driving you may feel
that engine braking is less effective than
that of conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the
transmission in “B” for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel econo-
my.
CAUTION
Be careful when using engine braking
on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
(d) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the selector lever to the
“R” position.
NOTICE
Never shift into reverse while the ve-
hicle is moving.
(e) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-
tion.
When turning the hybrid system off, put
the transmission in the “P” position.
CAUTION
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into “P” position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.
