Hazardous Driving
▼ Hazardous Driving
WARNING
Be careful when applying sudden
regenerative braking on slippery
surfaces:
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could lead
to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 4-63.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting,
or other nonslip
material under the front wheels.
NOTE
Use snow chains only on the front
wheels.

Be careful not to overload your
vehicle:
The gross axle weight rating (GAWR)
and the gross vehicle weight rating
(GVWR) of the vehicle are on the
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Label
on the driver's door frame. Exceeding
these ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can estimate the

position.
2. Press the power switch. The READY
indication is not displayed in the
instrument cluster and the EV
system stops, and then the power
switch is switched OFF.
WARNING
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
EV system while driving the vehicle:
If the EV system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it di fficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an

light (green) flashes in the instrument
cluster or the KEY warning indication
is displayed on the multi-information
display.
Refer to Starting the EV System When
the Key Battery is Dead on page 4-6.
Selector lever position
Because the AUTO P (parking lock)
function operates, the power
switch can be switched OFF even
with the selector lever in a position
other than P, however, for reasons
of safety, shift the selector lever to
the P position and then switch the
power switch OFF.
If you switch the power switch OFF
with the selector lever in a position
other than P, a warning sound and
a display indication notify you that
the selector lever position and the
shift position do not match.
Power switch position
If you leave or try to leave the vehicle
without switching the power switch
OFF, the KEY warning light (red) fl ashing , a display indication, and a
warning sound notify you that the
power switch is not switched OFF.
