TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
DEFAULT SETTING
CUSTOMIZED SETTING
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
and reduced vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Audio Multimedia System screen or the navigation system (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 energy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.
