locked due to the steering lock
function. Operating the power
switch again automatically can-
cels the steering lock.

while Turning Steering Wheel in
Either Direction” will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
Check that the shift lever is in P.
Press the power switch shortly
and firmly while turning the steer-
ing wheel left and right.
● To prevent the steering lock motor
from overheating, operation of the
motor may be suspended if the
hybrid system is turned on and off
repeatedly in a short period of
time. In this case, refrain from
operating the hybrid system. After
about 10 seconds, the steering
lock motor will resume functioning.

not come on
In the event that the “READY” indi-
cator does not come on even after

system immediately after turning
the power switch off, the hybrid
system may not start in some
cases. After turning the power
switch off, please wait a few sec-
onds before restarting the hybrid
system.
■ Customization

tem
Always start the hybrid system

pedal while starting the hybrid

resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Caution while driving
If hybrid system failure occurs
while the vehicle is moving, do not
lock or open the doors until the
vehicle reaches a safe and com-
plete stop. Activation of the steer-
ing lock in this circumstance may
lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
