FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine 
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the 
vehicle. When the brakes are applied, the braking force generates electr\
icity, which 
is then sent to the traction battery to conserve energy. In addition, th\
e engine shuts 
off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy an\
d reduced 
vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are 
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and/or Audio Multimedia System 
screen.
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner\
’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible. 
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on\
 the highway. 
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking en\
ergy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.
