FEATURES & OPERATIONS

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 multi-information display or the Display Audio System.

-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.

-Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”

(2) Vehicles with Smart Key system:

Depress the brake pedal, and press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.

Vehicles without Smart Key system:

Depress the brake pedal, and turn the key to the “START” position.

(3) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains

steady and a beep sounds, you may begin driving.

TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY

ECO MODE

EV MODE

STARTING THE HYBRID SYSTEM

1

The “POWER”/ignition switch must be “ON” and the brake pedal depressed to

shift from Park.

2

The engine brake is the equivalent of downshifting. Shift to “B” when engine

braking is desired (e.g. downhill driving, coasting to a stop).

Eco Mode helps achieve low fuel consumption during trips that involve frequent

accelerating and braking.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.

EV Drive Mode allows the electric motor (traction motor), powered by the hybrid

battery (traction battery), to be used to drive the vehicle under certain driving

conditions.
