Driving for Better Fuel
Economy (Gasoline Only)
Driving habits can affect fuel mileage.
Here are some driving tips to get the
best fuel economy possible.
.
Avoid fast starts and accelerate
smoothly.
. Brake gradually and avoid abrupt
stops.
. Avoid idling the engine for long
periods of time.
. When road and weather
conditions are appropriate, use
cruise control.
. Always follow posted speed limits
or drive more slowly when
conditions require.
. Keep vehicle tires properly
inflated.
. Combine several trips into a
single trip. .
Replace the vehicle's tires with the
same TPC Spec number molded
into the tire's sidewall near
the size.
. Follow recommended scheduled
maintenance.Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency (PLUG-IN Only)
Use the following tips to help
maximize energy efficiency and range.
In colder temperatures, while these
efficiency tips will help, the electric
vehicle driving range may be lower
due to higher energy usage.
Driving Style
Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid unnecessary rapid accelerations
and decelerations.
Electric range is maximized at
80 km/h (50 mph) and below. Higher
speeds use more energy and can
significantly reduce electric range.
Use cruise control when appropriate. Plan ahead for decelerations and coast
whenever possible. For example, do
not rush to traffic signals.
Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.
The vehicle recovers energy while
coasting and braking in D (Drive) or M
(Manual Mode).
Drive Mode and PRNDM Selection
Use Tour Mode when possible.
Sport Mode provides more responsive
acceleration than Tour Mode but can
reduce efficiency.
Use Hold Mode on a trip where it is
expected that all of the electric charge
will be depleted. Use Hold Mode
mainly during highway or high speed
driving to maximize both EV miles
and fuel efficiency.
Use M (Manual Model) in heavy
stop-and-go traffic or when traveling
downhill. M (Manual Mode) requires
less brake pedal application and
provides a controlled, efficient way to
slow the vehicle down.

reservoir caps, or dipsticks.
Hood
{Warning
Gas struts and other metal
components under the hood can get

Caution
Be sure the hood is completely
closed before driving. Damage may
occur if it is not. To close the hood:
1. Before closing the hood, be sure all filler caps are properly
installed.
2. Lower the hood approximately 46 cm (18 in) from the closed
position.
3. Then push the front center of the hood with a swift, firm motion.
4. Check to make sure the hood is closed. If not, release the hood
from inside and repeat Steps 1–3.
