There is the possibility of forgetting
that the selector lever is shifted to
the R position when only reversing
the vehicle a little. After reversing the
vehicle, immediately shift the
selector lever to the N or P position,
and before starting to drive the
vehicle again, check the shift
position indication in the instrument
cluster.
When driving
WARNING
Do not shift the selector lever to the N
position while driving:
Decelerat ion using the regenerat ive
braking is not possible which could
result in an accident.
Normal driving
Shift the selector lever to the D
position to drive the vehicle.
Acceleration/deceleration is
performed using the accelerator and
brake pedals.
Driving on steep upslopes
Slowly depress the accelerator pedal to
adjust the vehicle speed.
Driving on downslopes
On long or steep downslopes, increase
the amount deceleration using the
regenerative braking in regenerative
braking level change mode.
CAUTION
 On long downslopes, operate the
regenerative braking and the foot
brake together. Frequent
deceleration by depressing the brake
pedal could cause the disc brakes to
overheat and become ine ffective.
 If only strong regenerative braking is
used continuously, it could stop
working temporarily.
Regeneration braking is less e ffective
the closer the high voltage battery is
to a full charge, and regeneration
braking will not work when the high
voltage battery is fully charged.
Stopping the vehicles
1. After completely stopping the vehicle, continue to depress the
brake pedal firmly.
2. If necessary, apply the parking brake with the brake pedal
depressed.
3. If the vehicle is going to be parked for a long time, shift the selector
lever to the P position with the
brake pedal depressed.
WARNING
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
unnecessarily while the vehicle is
stopped:
If the accelerator pedal is mistakenly
depressed when the selector lever is in
a position other than the P or N
position, the vehicle could suddenly
accelerate resulting in an accident.
After stopping the vehicle, check the
shift position indication in the
instrument cluster before
re-accelerating:
If the vehicle were to move in the
unintended direction, it could lead to
an accident.
CAUTION
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same time,
or rev the motor with the selector lever
in the forward drive position while the
vehicle is stopped on an upslope. The
motor could overheat and lead to
damage.
