The HEV system may emit electro-
magnetic waves which can affect the
performance of electronic devices
appliances, such as laptop comput-
ers, which are not part of the vehicle
design.
If you park the vehicle for a long time,
the hybrid system will discharge. You
need to drive the vehicle approximate-
ly once every 2 months, more than 15
km (9 miles) is recommended.
When you start the hybrid system in
the "P" transmission position, the
"
" symbol is illuminated in the
cluster. The driver can drive the vehi-
cle even if the engine is stopped.
Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sound for pedestri-
ans to hear vehicle sound because
there is limited sound while electric
motor power is used.
• If the vehicle is moving at low
speed, the VESS will operate.
• When the gear is shifted to R
(Reverse), an additional warning
sound will be heard.
WARNING -
Turning off
HEV system
When you leave the vehicle, you
should turn off the hybrid sys-
tem. If you depress the acceler-
ator pedal by mistake and the
vehicle is not in the "P" posi-
tion, the vehicle will accelerate.
This may result in serious injury
or death.
