ECONOMICAL and SAFE
OPERATION of Hybrid system
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't make
“jack-rabbit” starts. Don't race
between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
When the engine runs in “N” posi- tion, the hybrid system cannot gen-
erate electricity. The hybrid battery
cannot recharge in “N” position.
Please refer to chapter 5.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When the hybrid system is in
READY mode, the engine will auto-
matically start and stop as needed.
The “ ” symbol will illuminate in
the cluster when the system is oper-
ational.
CAUTION- Extended
cranking
Do not crank the engine for aprolonged period of time with-out the engine starting. Thiscould result in damage to theHEV battery and become totallydischarged.
