Stopping the hybrid system
WARNING
If you want to stop the hybrid system in an emergency while driving the vehicle, press
and hold the power switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly 3 times or more in
succession.
However, do not touch the power switch while driving, except in an emergency. Turning
the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control,
however power assist to the steering will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer.
Pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
1 Stop the vehicle completely.
2 Press the P position switch.
Check that the shift position indicator shows P and the parking brake indicator is
illuminated.
3 Press the power switch.
The hybrid system will stop, and the meter display will be extinguished (the shift position
indicator will be extinguished a few seconds after the meter display).
4 Release the brake pedal and check that the display on the instrument cluster is
off.
INFORMATION
■ Automatic hybrid system shut off feature
● The vehicle is equipped with a feature that automatically shuts off the hybrid
system when the shift position is in P with the hybrid system operating for an
extended period.
● The hybrid system will automatically shut off after approximately 1 hour if it has
been left running while the shift position is in P.
● The timer for the automatic hybrid system shut off feature will reset if the brake
pedal is depressed or if the shift position is in a position other than P.
● After the vehicle is parked, if the door is locked with the door lock switch from the
inside or the mechanical key from the outside, the automatic hybrid system shut off
feature will be disabled. The timer for the automatic hybrid system shut off feature
will be re-enabled if the driver’s door is opened.
