WARNING
• Make sure to keep a correct driving
posture even when moving the
vehicle only slightly. This allows you
to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your
right foot. Depressing the brake
pedal using your left foot may delay
response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
●
The driver should pay extra atten-
tion to pedestrians when the vehicle
is powered only by the electric
motor (traction motor). As there is
no engine noise, the pedestrians
may misjudge the vehicle’s move-
ment. Even though the vehicle is
equipped with the acoustic vehicle
alerting system, drive with care as
pedestrians in the vicinity may still
not notice the vehicle if the sur-
rounding area is noisy.
●
Do not drive the vehicle over or
stop the vehicle near flammable
materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust
gases can be extremely hot. These
hot parts may cause a fire if there is
any flammable material nearby.
●
During normal driving, do not turn
off the hybrid system. Turning the
hybrid system off while driving will
not cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, however, power assist
to the steering will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In the event of an emergency, such
as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way:

P.370
●
Use engine braking (shift position
B) to maintain a safe speed when
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may
cause the brakes to overheat and
lose effectiveness. (

P.168)
●
Do not adjust the positions of the
steering wheel, the seat, or the
inside or outside rear view mirrors
while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●
Always check that all passengers’
arms, heads or other parts of their
body are not outside the vehicle.
■
When driving on slippery road
surfaces
●
Sudden braking, acceleration and
steering may cause tire slippage
and reduce your ability to control
the vehicle.
●
Sudden acceleration, engine brak-
ing due to shifting, or changes in
engine speed could cause the vehi-
cle to skid.
●
After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal to
make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads
may prevent the brakes from func-
tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control
may be affected.
■
When shifting the shift lever
●
Do not let the vehicle roll backward
while the shift lever is in a driving
position, or roll forward while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may result in an accident
or damage to the vehicle.
●
Do not shift the shift lever to P while
the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the transmis-
sion and may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
