■ Automatic hybrid system shut
off feature
● The vehicle is equipped with a
feature that automatically shuts off
the hybrid system when the shift
lever is in P with the hybrid system
operating for an extended period.
● The hybrid system will automati-
cally shut off after approximately 1
hour if it has been left operating
while the shift lever is in P.
● The message asking if you wish to
enable/disable the automatic
hybrid system shut off feature will
sometimes be displayed on the
multi-information display.
Leaving the vehicle as is or select-
ing “Perform Auto Off” keeps the
automatic hybrid system shut off
feature enabled, and selecting
“Keep Vehicle On” disables the
automatic hybrid system shut off
feature.
● The timer for the automatic hybrid
system shut off feature will reset if
the brake pedal is depressed or if
the shift lever is in a position other
than P.
● After the vehicle is parked, if the
door is locked with the door lock
switch (

P.134) from the inside
or the mechanical key (

P.467)
from the outside, the automatic
hybrid system shut off feature will
be disabled. The timer for the
automatic hybrid system shut off
feature will be re-enabled if the
driver’s door is opened.
WARNING
■ Stopping the hybrid system
in an emergency
● If you want to stop the hybrid
system in an emergency while
driving the vehicle, press and
hold the power switch for more
than 2 seconds, or press it
briefly 3 times or more in suc-
cession. (

P.435)
However, do not touch the
power switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the hybrid system off while
driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost mak-
ing it difficult to steer smoothly
before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining
charge in the 12-volt battery or
usage conditions. In this situa-
tion, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
● If the power switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown
on the multi-information display
and a buzzer sounds.
● When restarting the hybrid sys-
tem after an emergency shut-
down, shift the shift lever to N
and press the power switch
shortly and firmly.
