Starting the Hybrid System
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer controlled gasoline
engine and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of
power for the vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied
the braking force generates electricity which is then sent to the traction
battery. In addition, the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The
benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved
performance.
Note: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System
are shown on the multi-information display and/or navigation
system screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s
Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the
highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking
energy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
