Driving
WARNING
●If the vehicle is stopped on an 
incline, in order to prevent acci-
dents caused by the vehicle roll-
ing forward or backward, always 
depress the brake pedal and 
securely apply the parking 
brake as needed.
●Avoid revving or racing the 
engine.
Running the engine at high 
speed while the vehicle is 
stopped may cause the exhaust 
system to overheat, which could 
result in a fire if combustible 
material is nearby.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Do not leave glasses, cigarette 
lighters, spray cans, or soft 
drink cans in the vehicle when it 
is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the fol-
lowing:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette  lighter or spray can, and may 
lead to a fire.
• The temperature inside the  vehicle may cause the plastic 
lenses and plastic material of 
glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture,  causing the contents to spray 
over the interior of the vehicle, 
and may also caus e a short cir-
cuit in the vehicle’s electrical 
components.
●Do not leave cigarette lighters in 
the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter 
is in a place such as the glove 
box or on the floor, it may be lit 
accidentally when luggage is 
loaded or the seat is adjusted, 
causing a fire.
●Do not attach adhesive discs to 
the windshield or windows. Do 
not place containers such as air 
fresheners on the instrument 
panel or dashboard. Adhesive 
discs or containers may act as 
lenses, causing a fire in the 
vehicle.
●Do not leave a door or window 
open if the curved glass is 
coated with a metallized film 
such as a silver-colored one. 
Reflected sunlight may cause 
the glass to act a s a lens, caus-
ing a fire.
●Always apply the parking brake, 
shift the shift lever to P, stop the 
hybrid system and lock the vehi-
cle. Do not leave the vehicle 
unattended while the hybrid 
system is operating.
If the vehicle is parked with the 
shift lever in P but the parking 
brake is not set, the vehicle may 
start to move, possibly leading 
to an accident.
●Do not touch the exhaust pipes 
while the “READY”  indicator is 
illuminated or immediately after 
turning the hybrid system off.
Doing so may cause burns.
●4WD models: If the shift lever is 
moved before the “4L” indicator 
turns on/off, the transfer mode 
may not be shifted completely.
The transfer mode disengages 
both the front and rear drivesh-
afts from the p owertrain and 
allows the vehicle to move 
regardless of the shift position. 
(At this time, the indicator blinks 
and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to 
roll even if the  automatic trans-
mission is in P. You or someone 
else could be seriously injured. 
You must complete the shifting 
of the transfer mode. ( P.361)

operating for an extended period.
●The hybrid system will automati-
cally shut off after approximately 1

in an emergency
●If you want to stop the hybrid 
system in an emergency while

tems will be lost. This will make 
it more difficult to steer and 
brake, 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.
