WARNING
Before leaving the driver's seat,
always switch the vehicle power off,
set the parking brake, and make sure
the selector lever is in the P position.
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the vehicle power off, setting
the parking brake, and shifting the
selector lever to the P position is
dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could
result in an accident. In addition, if
your intention is to leave the vehicle for
even a short period, it is important to
switch the vehicle power position to
OFF, as leaving it in another position
will disable some of the vehicle's
security systems and run the lead-acid
battery down.
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers.
Before using the key near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician
if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
Other than for an emergency
situation, do not attempt to stop the
hybrid system while driving the
vehicle.
If the hybrid system is stopped while
driving the vehicle, loss of brake power
and power steering functions could
occur, making it difficult to control the
vehicle which could result in an
accident.
