When parking on a hill, set the parking brake,
and turn the front wheels toward the curb on a
downhill, or away from the curb on an uphill.
If necessary, apply chocks to the wheels.
Be sure that the parking brake is firmly set
when parked and that the electrical parking
switch is pressed.
Never leave the Plug-in Hybrid EV system
running while you take a short nap or rest.
Also, never leave the Plug-in Hybrid EV sys-
tem running in a closed or poorly ventilated
place.
Your front bumper can be damaged if you
scrape it over curbs or parking stop blocks.
Be careful when traveling up or down steep
slopes where your bumper can scrape the
road.
Always carry the key and lock all doors and
the liftgate when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.
Move effort could be required to turn the
steering wheel.
Refer to “Electric power steering system
(EPS)” on page 5-75.
NOTE
 When the main drive lithium-ion battery
level is full or nearly full, or the main drive
lithium-ion battery temperature is too high or
too low, the regenerative braking force may
be reduced. Refer to “Regenerative braking”
on page 3-4.
 If the needle in the energy usage indicator
does not move to the left of the neutral point
(A) while the accelerator pedal is released,
the regenerative brake will not work. Refer
to “Energy usage indicator” on page 5-128.
In the such case, before approaching a long
downhill road, reduce speed to prevent the
service brake from overheating.
