WARNING
■When starting the hybrid system 
Always start the hybrid system while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not 
depress the accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any 
circumstances. 
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury. 
■ Stopping the hybrid system in an emergency 
● If you want to stop the hybrid system in an emergency while driving the 
vehicle, press and hold the power switch for more than 2 seconds, or 
press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P. 705) 
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emer- 
gency. Turning the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of 
steering or braking control, however,  power assist to the steering will be 
lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. 
● If the power switch is operated while the vehicle is running, a warning 
message will be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer
sounds. 
● When restarting the hybrid system after an emergency shutdown while 
driving, press the power switch. When  restarting the hybrid system after 
stopping the vehicle, change the shift position to P and then press the 
power switch.
