(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.
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 fo\
r 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 Display Audio system screen or the 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 ener\
gy.
-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
Auto lock/unlock

-Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 10 seconds after turning the
