Stop the vehicle in a safe place
by the road.
■
If emergency stopped
The functions of the air conditioning, etc.
may be partially limited in order to
reduce the power consumption of the
12-volt battery.
 Remove the seat belt first.
 If the door can be opened, open
the door and exit the vehicle.
 If the door can not be opened,
open the window using the
power window switch and exit
the vehicle through the window.
 If the window can not be opened
using the power window switch,
remain calm, wait until the water
level inside the vehicle rises to
the point that the water pressure
inside of the vehicle equals the
water pressure outside of the
vehicle, and then open the door
and exit the vehicle.
WARNING
■ If the hybrid system has to be
turned off while driving
Turning the hybrid system off while
driving will not cause a loss of steer-
ing or braking control. However,
power assist for the steering wheel
may be lost making it difficult to steer
smoothly before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining charge in
the 12-volt battery or usage condi-
tions. Decelerate as much as possible
before turning off the hybrid system.
If the vehicle is trapped
in rising water
In the event the vehicle is sub-
merged in water, remain calm
and perform the following.
