158 4-1. Before driving WARNING Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury. ■When the vehicle is parked ●Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in the vehicle when it is in the sun. Doing so may result in the following: Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a fire. The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic mate- rial of glasses to deform or crack. Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s electrical components. ●Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be liaccidentalt ly when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire. ●Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. Adhesive discs or con- tainers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle. ●Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire. ●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the hybrid system and lock the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the “READY” indicator is illuminated. ●Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the “READY” indicator is illuminated or imme- diately after turning the hybrid system off. Doing so may cause burns. ■When taking a nap in the vehicle Always turn the hybrid system off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to hybrid system overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle paisrk ed in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard. ■When braking ●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle. ●If the electronically controlled brake syestm does not operate, do not follow other vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the brakice ng will idistanncrease. Have your brakes fixed immediately. ●The brake system consists of 2 or more indviidual hydraulic systems; if one of the sys- tems fails, the other(s) will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately. ES300h_OM_OM33B71U_(U)
