WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehicle out of
a stuck position, be sure that
no one is near the vehicl
e. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid spinning the wheels. Prolonged efforts to free
a stuck vehicle may result
in transmission failure.

When the electric motor switch is turned to the “ON” position, the current position of the selector lever is indi
cated on the instrument
cluster.
When the selector le
ver position indicator
flashes while you are driv
ing, there could be a
malfunction in the transmission.

While depressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever through the gate. Move the selector lever through the gate.
WA R N I N G Always depress the brake pedal when shifting the selector
lever into another
position from the
“P” (PARK) or “N”
(NEUTRAL) position. Never put your foot on the accelerator pedal while shifting the selector lever fromthe “P” (PARK) or
“N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion.NOTE
 To avoid erroneous
operation, move the
selector lever firmly into each position andbriefly hold it there. Always check the posi- tion shown by the select
or lever position dis-
play after moving the selector lever.  If the brake pedal is not depressed and held, the shift-lock device activates to prevent theselector lever from being moved from the “P” (PARK) position.

This position locks the transmission to pre- vent the vehicle from moving. The electric motor unit can be started from the “PARK” position.
This position is to back up. Use this position only wh
en the vehicle is sta-
tionary for an extended length of time while driving, such as in a traffic jam.
Use this position for normal driving. Use this position when you desire to limit power consumption and/or when moderateregenerative braking is required. Use this position when strong regenerative braking is required, such as on a steep down-hill. Refer to “Regenerative braking” on page 3-3. Refer to “When driving downhill” on page6-5.
CAUTION If the selector lever pos
ition indicator blinks
while you are driving, it
is likely that a safety
device is operating be
cause of a malfunction
in the transmission system. We recommend you to have your vehicle inspected as soon as possible. The selector lever posit

lector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position.

For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals the vehicle can be
left in selector lever
position and held stationary with the service brake. For longer waiting periods with the electricmotor unit running, plac
e the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and apply the parking brake, while holding the vehicle sta-tionary with the service brake.
N00584200025
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unat- tended, always switch
off the electric motor
unit and carry the key.
N00571900028
While driving at low speeds, such as in park-ing lots, the acoustic vehicle alerting system(AVAS) alerts people who may not hear your vehicle approaching. The system sounds when the vehicle speed isapproximately 22 mph
(35 km/h) or less.
The acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) will operate under th
e following conditions:
 When the vehicle sp
eed is approximately
2 mph (3 km/h) or less and the brake pedal is not depressed.
WA R N I N G While driving on a slippery road, do not use the “B” position.
Abruptly releasing
the accelerator pedal can apply strongregenerative braking
causing the vehicle
to skid which could result in an accident.NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery level is full or nearly
full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temp
erature is too high or
too low, the regenerative braking force may be reduced and stronger effort may berequired to operate the brakes.
Operation of the transmission
CAUTION Before selecting a pos
ition with the electric
motor unit running and the vehicle station- ary, fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the transmission is engage
d, the brakes should
only be released when you are ready to driveaway. Depress the brake pedal
with the right foot at
all times. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
 Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting
on the brake pedal will
affect braking efficien
cy and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
Waiting
CAUTION Never hold the vehicle
stationary on a hill
with the accelerator. Always apply the park- ing brake and/or service brake.
Parking
CAUTION
NOTE
 On a slope, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the
