Orcrone — The Ready light in the instrument cluster will be "off" when you're in either ACC or ON mode. It will be "on" in the normal "ready to drive" mode. The ON mode appears to mimic the "on" state of a non-hybrid car — all the instruments are "on" but the engine is not running. The Ready light appears intended to show that you're beyond ON, by mimicking the "engine running and ready to drive" state of a non-hybrid.

As far as I can see the "ON" mode is really redundant and serves no purpose other than to confuse. All it really means is that to shut off the vehicle that is in the accessory mode requires two button pushes, is this correct?
What happens if you press the brake pedal when you are in the "ON" mode, will you get to "READY" mode, or do you have to turn the vehicle to "OFF" mode and start from scratch? Will try myself when I get a chance.
