50 STARTING AND OPERATING<br />
STARTING PROCEDURES<br />
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both<br />
inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.<br />
NOTE: This vehicle is not compatible with any aftermarket<br />
remote starting systems. The installation of aftermarket<br />
remote starting systems is NOT recommended.<br />
Turn the key to the START position while your vehicle is<br />
in PARK. The Hybrid system strategy, which optimizes<br />
fuel economy, determines if it is necessary to start the<br />
gasoline engine. The gasoline engine may either shut off<br />
shortly after starting or not start at all, depending on<br />
temperature and battery charge level. This is a normal<br />
part of your Hybrid’s fuel-saving strategies. Once the<br />
“READY” light illuminates, the vehicle is ready to be<br />
driven and the Hybrid system is active. Refer to “Hybrid<br />
Gauge” in Section 4 of this supplement manual.<br />
WARNING!<br />
• Pay special attention to pedestrians when the<br />
vehicle is operating under battery power only.<br />
Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians may<br />
not know the vehicle is moving or about to move<br />
and step into the path of the vehicle, causing<br />
serious injury or death.<br />
• When your vehicle is left unattended, be sure to<br />
turn off the Hybrid system.<br />
• When the vehicle is in “READY” mode, do not<br />
leave your vehicle unattended in any shift position<br />
other than PARK. The vehicle may creep and<br />
start abruptly if the accelerator pedal is depressed<br />
by mistake, causing serious injury or death.
