Hybrid Synergy Drive 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. When the brakes are applied, the braking force generates electr\
icity, which
is then sent to the traction battery to conserve energy. In addition, th\
e engine shuts
off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy an\
d reduced
vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and the audio system
screen (navigation system or multi-media system.)
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’\
s Manual.
- Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
- Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on \
the highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking ene\
rgy.
- Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
(1) Put the shift lever in “Park.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and “
” will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display.
(3) Push the “POWER” button briefly and firmly.
(4) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light \
remains steady
and a beep sounds, shift the gear to the desired position and you may be\
