Hybrid Synergy Drive System
•The vehicle has both high voltage DC and AC systemsas well as a 12volt system. DC and AC high voltage
are both very dangerous and can cause death, severe
burns, electric shock or other serious injuries.
•In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touch, remove or replace high voltage cables which are
colored orange, and/or their connectors, high voltage
parts such as the inverter unit, Hybrid vehicle
battery, etc.
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, braking force generates electricity
which is then sent to the 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 .
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
Tips for improved fuel economy
Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels
specified in the Owner's Manual.
Link trips, if possible, 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.
