◆When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slo w-
ing down.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits a t
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic re ports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When drivi ng
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the v ehicle to
move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption .
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before st op-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to releas e the
accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of el ec-
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recirc u-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically c ut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will cons ume fuel.
Fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the
heater.

■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperatur e setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after the button is pressed.
■ Fogging up of the windows
● The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the
windshield effectively.
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still dr awn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air i ntake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in prevent-
ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.

■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
● In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict h eating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
● To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Adjust the temperature setting
• Turn off Eco drive mode
● Even when the drive mode is set to Eco drive mode, the air conditioning eco
mode can be turned off by pressing the .
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0C (32F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pre ssed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air condi tioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to o utside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short peri od of time

■nanoe™ *1 (if equipped)
This vehicle incorporates a biocidal product.
Ionised air generated by a device incorporated in the vehicle p urifies the air in
the cabin by suppressing bacteria.
Active substance: Free radicals generated in situ from ambient air or water
The air conditioning system adopts nanoe™ technology. This help s to fill the
cabin with refreshing air by emitting slightly acidic nanoe™ co ated with water
particles through the passenger’s side vent*2.
● When the fan is turned on, nanoe™ system is activated.
● When the fan is operated in the following conditions, system performance
will be maximized. If the following conditions are not met, nan oe™ may not
operate at full capacity.
• The upper body, the upper body and feet or the feet air outlet s are being
used. ( P. 549)
• The passenger’s side vent is open.
● When nanoe™ is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and may
be faintly smelled in some situations. However, this is approxi mately the
same as the amount that already exists in nature, such as in fo rests, and it
has no affect on the human body.
● A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.

of the air flow, nanoe™ may not operate at full capacity.
