i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery (capacitor and battery). The stored electricity is used as power to charge the battery and the vehicle's electrical devices.
CAUTION
High-current electricity flows through the following parts, therefore do not touch them.

i-ELOOP Charging Display
If the engine is started after the vehicle has not been driven for a long period of time, an “i-ELOOP Charging Please don't Drive” message may be indicated in the display.
Leave the engine idling and wait until the message disappears.
NOTE
If the vehicle is driven while the message is displayed, a beep sound is heard. If you turn the steering wheel while the message is displayed, it will feel heavier than normal, but this does not indicate an abnormality. Stop the vehicle in a safe location with the engine running and do not attempt to turn the steering wheel. The steering operation will return to normal after the message is no longer displayed.
