CAUTION

■

The information display at low temperatures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-

tion display. At extremely low temperatures, the information display monitor may

respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number

appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, caus-

ing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death

or injury.

Cautions during setting up the display

As the hybrid system needs to be operating during setting up the display, ensure

that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such

as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon monoxide (CO) may collect

and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.

NOTICE

During setting up the display

To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the hybrid system is operating

while setting up the display features.
