HINT:

If the engine is stopped while the vehicle is stationary and the shift position is not P, the EPS warning light (yellow) illuminates and the message "Hybrid System Stopped Steering Power Low" will be displayed on the multi-information display in the combination meter assembly, but this is caused by incorrect operation and is not a malfunction.

Result

Proceed to
