Hybrid Synergy Drive System
•The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as
well as a 12-volt system. DC and AC high voltage is
very dangerous and can cause severe burns and
electric shock that may result in death or serious
injury.
•Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace high
voltage cables, their connectors and high voltage
parts such as the inverter unit, traction battery,
traction motor, Air Conditioning compressor, AC/DC
converter, 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 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. Refer to this
screen for important driving information
and feedb
ack to maximize energy
use/creation and conserve fuel.
Refer to the Owner’s Manualfor more details.
Tips for improved fuel economy
Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels
specified in the Owner's Manual.
If possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
Av o i d 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.
