751-4. Hybrid system

For safety and security
*: This function can only be used in 
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be 
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on 
the driving situation and traffic 
information to enhance fuel 
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive (Predictive decelera-
tion support/Predictive SOC 
control), refer to “NAVIGATION 
AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM 
OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Predictive deceleration sup-
port
 When a predictive decelera-
tion support point registered 
in the navigation system is 
approached, the system turns 
off the “Reference operation 
range” ( ) of the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance ( P.105) on 
the multi-information display 
and encourages the driver to 
reduce excessive accelera-
tion. 
After the accelerator pedal is 
released, the engine braking 
force will be increased 
according to the  driving condi-
tions to more efficiently 
charge the hybrid battery 
(traction battery).
■Predictive SOC control
The following types of control 
are performed based on data 
such as road and traffic informa-
tion during route guidance by 
the navigation system to help 
ensure that the vehicle effi-
ciently uses electricity.
 When there is a long downhill 
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) level 
before reaching the slope to 
help ensure charging capacity 
for regenerative braking while 
traveling downhill.
 When traffic congestion is 
predicted along the route, the 
system helps ensure a certain 
battery level before reaching 
congested roads to reduce 
the frequency of starting the 
engine to charge the hybrid 
Predictive efficient drive

system)

Driving
1Press the opener to open the 
fuel filler door.
The fuel filler doo r will open within 
about 10 seconds of the switch 
being pressed. Before refueling is 
possible, a messa ge will be shown 
on the multi-information display in 
the instrument cluster to indicate 
the progress of the fuel filler door  opener.

Turn the fuel tank cap slowly 
to open it and put it into the 
holder on the fuel filler door.
■If the fuel filler door cannot be 
opened
 P.662
After refueling, turn the fuel tank 
cap until you hear a click. Once 
the cap is released, it will turn 
slightly in the opposite direction.

■When refueling
Observe the following precautions 
to prevent fuel overflowing from 
the fuel tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle 
into the fuel  filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel 
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
●Finish refueling within 30 min-
utes. If more than 30 minutes 
passes, the internal valve 
closes. In this condition, fuel 
may overflow during the refuel-
ing process. Press the fuel filler 
door opener switch again.
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehi-
cle, such as causing the emis-
sion control system to operate 
abnormally or damaging fuel 
system components or the vehi-
cle’s painted surface.
