As the hybrid battery (traction battery)
cannot be charged when the shift lever
is in N, shift the shift lever to P when the
vehicle is stopped.
■If “Traction Battery Needs to be Protected Shift into P to Restart” is
shown
This message is displayed when the hybrid battery (trac tion battery) charge
has become extremely low because the
