■Selecting a driving mode
The following modes can be selected to suit driving conditions:
Eco drive mode
Suitable for improving the fuel economy,
because the torque corresponding to
the accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal conditions
and the operation of the air conditioning
system (heating/cooling) will be mini-
mized.
When the “ECO MODE” switch is
pressed, the “ECO MODE” indicator
comes on in the meter.
Po w e r m o d e
Suitable when the vehicle needs to drive
powerfully or travels in mountainous
areas.
When the power mode switch is
pressed, the “PWR MODE” indicator
comes on in the meter.
■Using air conditioning in Eco drive mode
The Eco drive mode controls heating/cooling and fan speed operation to improve fuel
consumption. When you want to improve the effectiveness of the air conditioning sys-
tem, adjust the fan speed or cancel the Eco drive mode.
For more information, refer to the “Navigation System Owner’s Manual”.
