'07 HIGHLANDER HV_U (L/O 0608) CAUTION D The driver should pay special attention to pedestrians when the vehicle is powered only by the traction motor. Because there is no engine noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle's movement. If you open the door with the hybrid system turned on and the transmission is not in the "P" position, a message appears on the multi −information display and navigation system screen (for vehicles with navigation system). D When you leave your vehicle, or stop or park for a while, put the transmission in the "P" position. D When you leave your vehicle, be sure to turn off the hybrid system. D Charging the hybrid battery while driving is important. In the "N" position, the hybrid battery will not be charged. Do not leave the transmission in the "N" position. The motor generator operates in the "P", "R", "D" and "B" positions. When you drive, put the transmission in the "D" or "B" position and depress the accelerator pedal. When driving in a traffic jam, operate the vehicle in the "D" position to prevent the hybrid battery from being discharged. D Be sure to put the transmission in the "P" position because the vehicle can move when the "READY" light is on even if the engine is stopped. When the "READY" light is on, do not leave your vehicle in a shift position other than the "P" and "N" positions. The vehicle will creep and start abruptly if the accelerator pedal is depressed by mistake. This may cause death or serious injury.
