vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following pro-
cedure:

depress it.

CAUTION
■If the hybrid system has to be turned off while driving
● Power assist for the brakes and steering wheel will be lost, making the
brake pedal harder to depress and the steering wheel heavier to turn.
Decelerate as much as possible before turning off the hybrid system.
● Vehicles without a smart key system: Never attempt to remove the key, as
doing so will lock the steering wheel.
Vehicles with a smart key sys-
tem: Stop the hybrid system
by pressing and holding the
“POWER” switch for 3 consec-
utive seconds or more.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
Press and hold for 3 seconds or more
