Precautions for when the vehicle
is stopped or parked
WARNING
■ When the vehicle is parked
● Always apply the parking brake, shift
the shift position to P, stop the EV sys-
tem and lock the vehicle. Do not leave
the vehicle unattended while the
“READY” indicator is illuminated.
If the vehicle is parked with the shift posi-
tion in P but the parking brake is not set,
the vehicle may start to move, possibly
leading to an accident.
● Never leave a child unattended in the
vehicle. A child may accidentally
release the parking brake and the
vehicle may move, possibly leading to
an accident.
● Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters,
spray cans or carbonated drink cans in
the vehicle when it is parked in the sun.
If left in the vehicle, the following may
occur:
• 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 plas-
tic material of glasses to deform or
crack.
• Soft drink cans may explode, dirtying
the interior and possibly causing a
short in electronic components.
● Do not store cigarette lighters in the
vehicle storage features or leave them
inside the vehicle.
When luggage is loaded or a seat is
adjusted, a lighter may be unintentionally
lit, possibly leading to a fire.
● Do not attach suction cups to the glass
parts of the vehicle. Also, do not place
air fresheners or other clear contain-
ers on the instrument panel or dash-
board. Suction cups and clear
containers may act as a lens, possibly
leading to a fire inside the vehicle.
● Do not leave a door or window open if
the curved glass is coated with a met-
allized film such as a silver-colored
one.
Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to
act as a lens, causing a fire.
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the EV system off. Other-
wise, you may accidentally move the
rotary shifter or depress the accelerator
pedal, causing the vehicle to unintention-
ally move, which can lead to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
