2-1. Driving procedures

CAUTION

When the vehicle is stopped

Do not depress the accelerator pedal unnecessarily.

If the vehicle is in any gear other than P or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly

and unexpectedly, causing an accident.

Do not leave the vehicle with the hybrid system on for a long time.

If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space and

check that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.

In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep

depressing the brake pedal while the “READY” indicator is on. Apply the parking

brake as necessary.

If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused by the

vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securely

apply the parking brake as needed.

Avoid revving or racing the engine.

Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause the

exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible material is

nearby.

When the vehicle is parked

Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehi-

cle when it is in the sun.

Doing so may result in the following:

Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire.

The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic

material of glasses to deform or crack.

Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of

the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle's electrical com-

ponents.

Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such

as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when luggage is loaded

or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.

Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place contain-

ers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs

or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
