As the hybrid system needs to be 

operating during customization, 

ensure that the vehicle is parked 

in a place with adequate ventila-

tion. In a closed area such as a 

garage, exhaust gases including 

harmful carbon monoxide (CO) 

may collect and enter the vehicle. 

This may lead to death or a seri-

ous health hazard.

NOTICE

■

During customization

To prevent 12-volt battery dis-

charge, ensure that the hybrid 

system is operating while custom-

izing features.
