Auto power off function
If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode for more than 20 minutes or ON
mode (with the hybrid system not operating) for more than an hour with the
shift lever in P, the power switch will automatically turn off. However, this func-
tion cannot entirely prevent 12-volt battery discharge. Do not leave the vehi-
cle with the power switch in ACCESSORY or ON mode for long periods of
time when the hybrid system is not operating.
