■Stopping the hybrid system
Set the parking brake, shift the shift position to P and press the power switch

● Make sure that the smart entry & start system has not been deactivated in
the customization setting. If it is off, turn the function on.
(Customizable features: P. 782)
● Check if battery-saving mode is set. If it is set, cancel the function.
( P. 295)
