Driving
■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. (P. 323)
■For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that hybrid vehicles are similar to conventional vehicles, and it
is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. (P. 330)
■Coasting (Auto Glide Control)
When Eco drive mode is selected, under certain conditions, Auto Glide Con-
trol will operate automatically and allow the vehicle coast, enhancing fuel
economy. (P. 322)
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■Restraining hybrid system output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, the
hybrid system output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the
system is operating.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance (P. 109)
Eco-friendly driving may be achieved more easily by staying within the zone
of Eco acceleration. Also, by staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, it
will be easier to obtain a good Eco score.
●When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator pedal to stay within the zone of Eco accel-
eration and accelerate to the desired speed. By refraining from excessive
acceleration, a good eco start score will be obtained.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired speed, release the accelerator pedal and
drive at a stable speed while staying within the zone of Eco acceleration. By
staying within the zone of Eco acceleration, a good eco cruise score will be
obtained.
●When stopping:
By starting to release the accelerator pedal early before decelerating, a good
eco stop score will be obtained.
