sion must be in “P”.

tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brakepedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the hybrid
system on. This prevents the vehicle

the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.

To use engine braking intentionally, shift
the selector lever to the “B” position and
take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
During high speed driving you may feel
that engine braking is less effective than
that of conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the
transmission in “B” for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel econo-
my.

Be careful when using engine braking
on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.

ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.
