BASIC HYBRID VEHICLE OPERATION
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer controlled gasoline
engine and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of
power for the vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied,
braking force generates electricity which is then sent to the traction
battery. In addition, the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The
benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved
performance.
Note: Fuel consumpt ion and energy information of the Hybrid System
are shown on the multi-inf ormation display. Refer to this screen
for impo rtant dri ving information and feed back to maxi mize
ener gy use/crea tion and conserve fuel.
Tips for improved fuel economy
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner's
Manual .
-If possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
