Electrical parking switch
Starting and driving 6-21
6
This position is for normal driving.
Use this position when strong regenerative
braking is required, such as on a steep down-
hill.
Refer to “Braking: When driving downhill”
on page 6-27.

When you park your vehicle, be sure to apply
the Electric parking brake and press the elec-
trical parking switch to shift to the “P”
(PARK) position and lock the wheels. The
select position indicator displays “P” on the
instrument cluster.
Always keep your right foot on the brake
pedal when shifting into or out of the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position, to minimise the risk
of loss of control.
“D” DRIVE
“B” REGENERATIVE BRAKE
While driving on a slippery road, do not
use the “B” (REGENERATIVE BRAKE)
position. Abruptly releasing the accelera-
tor pedal can apply strong regenerative
braking causing the vehicle to skid which
could result in an accident.
When the drive battery level is full or nearly
full, or the drive battery temperature is too
hot or too cold, regenerative braking force
may be reduced and stronger effort may be
required to operate the brakes.
Electrical parking switch
Never press the electrical parking switch
to shift to the “P” (PARK) position while
the vehicle is in motion.
Doing so while the vehicle is moving at low
speed may also cause shifting to the “P”
(PARK) position and stop the vehicle
abruptly. This can damage the vehicle
and/or could result in injury to occupants.
To avoid unintended actuation of the elec-
trical parking switch, never place an
object on the switch.
Unintentional shifting to the “P” (PARK)
position can lead to an accident.
