Drive your vehicle with smooth accel-
eration and deceleration.
While driving, energy is recovered
through the regenerative brake as the
vehicle decelerates. However, for effi-
cient use, do not accelerate or deceler-
ate your vehicle more than necessary.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and decelera-
tion.
The power of the hybrid battery can be
checked on the multi−information dis-
play or the navigation system screen
(with navigation system). See “—Hybrid
battery status” on page 4 for details.
Gradual or non −abrupt acceleration and
deceleration will make more effectively
use of the traction motor without hav-
ing to use gasoline engine power. When parking, be sure to put the trans-
mission into the “P” position. While
driving, put the transmission into the
“D” position.
In the “N” position, the gasoline engine
operates but electricity cannot be gen-
erated. The hybrid battery will be dis-
charged requiring unnecessary engine
power to recharge.
The hybrid system automatically re-
charges the hybrid battery when the
remaining battery power is reduced.
However, the hybrid battery cannot be
recharged if the transmission is in the
“N” position.
For detailed information, see “How to save
fuel and make your vehicle last longer” on
page 335 in Section 3.
INFORMATION
The gasoline engine starts and stops
automatically. (It stops during a low
load driving, deceleration or when the
vehicle is stopped.)
As long as the “READY” light remains
on, you can start your vehicle using
the electric motor even with the gaso-
line engine stopped.
The gasoline engine may not stop au-
tomatically in the following condi-
tions:
During gasoline engine warm up
During hybrid battery charging
During low or high hybrid battery
temperature
Efficient use of your hybrid
vehicle
