Starting your vehicle
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 is shown on the Multi-Information Display and/or multimedia system/
navigation system screen.
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.
Hybrid Synergy Drive SystemEco Drive Mode
Push
Eco Driving Mode helps achieve low fuel consumption during trips that involve
frequent accelerating.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
EV Drive Mode
EV-Drive Mode allows the electric motor (traction motor), powered by the hybrid
battery (traction battery), to be used to drive the vehicle.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
