Stopping the hybrid system
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.
