5. Turn off the air conditioning when it’s not needed.
6. Use Economy Mode. This maximizes the vehicle’s fuel
economy. It’s activated by pressing the ‘ECO’ button.
The Economy Mode limits other aspects of the vehicle’s
performance, such as acceleration rate and air-
conditioning, to save fuel.
7. When accelerating keep the ‘Power’ needle in the green
range so that (depending on battery level) the petrol
engine does not start.
8. Avoid hard braking. Braking gently or moderately allows
the regenerative braking system to recover energy from
the vehicle’s forward motion and store it as electricity.
Hard braking causes the vehicle to use its conventional
friction brakes, which do not recover energy. When using
regenerative braking, the ‘negative’ (LH) paddle increases
the amount of regenerative braking and thus the braking
force. This action also reduces wear to the braking system
components.
9. Use 4WD Lock Mode only when additional traction or
stability is required.
10. Familiarise yourself with the car’s hybrid information
display so you can monitor how much energy is being
used.
