in all driving situations including start-up.
• The engine speed is limited to 4,000rpm.
• The vehicle speed is limited to

Driving
SPORT+ mode optimizes dynamic response
from all powertrain and chassis systems -
perfect for your favorite winding road.
• EV operation is elimin ated while operating
in SPORT+ .
TRACK mode gives maximum, consistent
performance from dynamic systems during
track day lapping sessions. Hybrid battery
charge is maintained for consistent
performance.
• VSA ® OFF indicator is illuminated in TRACK
mode indicating reduced stability control.
This allows more body side slip and wheel
spin before VSA ® begins to operate.
• Integrated Dynamics switch must be turned
and held to the right for several seconds to
engage TRACK mode.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
344
Driving
This button is on the driver side control panel.
This button is used to change VSA ® modes.
See below for more information.
VSA ® is turned on every time you turn the
power system on, even if you press the button
the last time you drove the vehicle.
■When the Integrated Dynamics System mode is in QUIET mode, SPORT
mode, or SPORT+ mode To enter Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, press
the VSA® OFF button until a single beep is
heard and the VSA ® OFF indicator illuminates.
u This message appears on the driver
information interface for a few seconds.
If the Integrated Dynamics System mode is
changed, VSA® will remain in Stuck Vehicle
Assist mode.
To exit Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, press the
VSA ® OFF button until a single beep is heard
and the VSA ® OFF indicator extinguishes.
■VSA ® On and Off1 Vehicle Stability Assist ® (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control
(ESC), System
In Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, your vehicle will have
normal braking and corn ering ability, but VSA®
traction and stability enhancement becomes less
effective.
In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets
stuck in shallow mud or fr esh snow, it may be easier
to free it with Stuck Vehicle Assist mode.
In Stuck Vehicle Assist mode, the traction control
function becomes less effective. This allows for the
wheels to spin more freely at low speed. You should
only attempt to free your vehicle with the button
pressed if you are not able to free it without.
Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to
press the button again. We do not recommend
driving your vehicle with Stuck Vehicle Assist mode.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the front
of the vehicle while system checks are being
performed immediately after turning the power
system on or while driving. This is normal.

Parking Your Vehicle
When Stopped
1.Depress the brake pedal firmly.
2. With the brake pedal depressed, pull up th e electric parking brake switch slowly,
but fully.
3. Change the gear position to
(P.
4. Turn off the power system.
u The electric parking brake indicato r goes off in about 15 seconds.
Always confirm the electric parking brake is set, in particular if you are parked on an
incline.
During Auto Engine Stop, th e gear position changes to
(P and the engine restarts
automatically under the following conditions:
• You unfasten the driver side seat belt and open the door.
1Parking Your Vehicle
Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects,
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.
3WARNING
The vehicle can roll aw ay if left unattended
without confirming that Park is engaged.
A vehicle that rolls away could cause a crash
resulting in seriou s injury or death.
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal
until you have confirmed that
( P is shown
on the gear position indicator.
1 When Stopped
NOTICE
The following can damage the driveline:•Depressing the accelera tor and brake pedals
simultaneously.
•Changing to ( P before the vehicle stops completely.
When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the power system to overheat
and fail.
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake may
freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are expected, do
not apply the parking brake. If parking on a slope, either
turn the steering wheel so one of the front tires will contact
the curb or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the vehicle
may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.
