If the vehicle is left in ACC for more than
20 minutes or ON (the EV system is not
operating) for more than an hour with the
shift position in P, the power switch will
automatically turn off. However, this func-
tion cannot entirely prevent the 12-volt bat-
tery discharge. Do not leave the vehicle
with the power switch in ACC or ON for

assist to the steering 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.
O
If the power switch is operated while
the vehicle is running, a warning mes-
sage will be shown on the multi-infor-
mation display and a buzzer sounds.
