TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
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.
To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force genera\
tes
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, reduc\
ed vehicle
emissions and improved performance.
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.
* The engine brake is the equivalent of downshifting. Shift to “B”\
when engine
braking is desired (i.e. downhill driving, coasting to a stop, etc.). \
While vehicle is
stopped, push “P” button to park.

FEATURES & OPERATIONS
EV Drive Mode ON/OFF switch EV-Drive Mode allows the electric motor (traction
motor), powered by the hybrid battery (traction battery), to be used \
to drive the
vehicle under certain driving conditions.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Normal - Suitable for
normal driving.
Power mode - Use when
a higher level of response
is desired, such as when
driving in mountainous
regions.
ECO drive mode -
Helps achieve lower fuel
consumption during trips
that involve frequent
accelerating and braking.
(1) Depress the brake pedal and
press the “POWER” switch briefly
and firmly.
(2) The “READY” light will blink.
After a few seconds, when the
light remains steady and a beep
sounds, you may begin driving.
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in different modes, or\
turned
OFF.
