Changing the shift position
WARNING
● Do not let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is selected, or roll
forward while the shift position is in R.
Doing so may result in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
● Do not shift the shift position to P while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage
the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
● Do not shift the shift position to R while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so can
damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
● Do not shift the shift position to a driving position while the vehicle is moving back-
ward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
● Changing the shift position to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the hybrid
system. Regenerative braking is not available with the hybrid system disengaged.
● Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may lead to unexpected
rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or
serious injury. After changing the shift position, make sure to confirm the current shift
position displayed on the shift position indicator inside the meter.
