* 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.).
Eco Mode
Push
Eco Mode helps achieve low fuel consumption during trips that involve frequent
accelerating and braking.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
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 are
shown on the Display Audio system screen or the navigation system
screen.
-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.
