WARNING
During normal driving, do not
turn off the hybrid system. Turn-
ing the hybrid system off while
driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, how-
ever, power assist to the steer-
ing 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. 43 8
Use engine braking (downshift)
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.213)
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 passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.
AWD models: Do not drive the
vehicle off-road. This is not an
AWD vehicle designed for
off-road driving.Drive with due
care if it becomes unavoidable
to drive off-road.
Do not drive across a river or
through other bodies of
water.This may cause elec-
tric/electronic components to
short circuit, damage the hybrid
system or cause other serious
damage to the vehicle.
Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit. Even if the legal
speed limit permits it, do not
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)
unless your vehicle has
high-speed capability tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mph (140 km/h)
may result in tire failure, loss of
control and possible injury. Be
sure to consult a tire dealer to
determine whether the tires on
your vehicle are high-speed
capability tires or not before
driving at such speeds.
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
braking due to shifting, or
changes in engine speed could
cause the vehicle to skid.
After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal
to make sure that the brakes
are functioning properly. Wet
brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one
side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may
be affected.
When shifting the shift lever
Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a forward driving
position is selected, or roll for-
ward while the shift lever is in
R.Doing so may result in an
accident or damage to the vehi-
cle.
Do not shift the shift lever to P
while the vehicle is mov-
ing.Doing so can damage the
transmission and may result in a
loss of vehicle control.
