Put the shift lever in “P.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and “
” will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display.

(4) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light \�remains steady

The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \�engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\�r the
vehicle. When the brakes are applied, the braking force generates electr\�icity, which
is then sent to the traction battery to conserve energy. In addition, th\�e engine shuts
off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy an\�d reduced
vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display and/or navigation system
screen (if equipped).
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on\� the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking en\�ergy.
5. Minimize use of the Air conditioning.
