Possible driving distance when driving in EV-Drive Mode
Possible driving distance when driving in EV-Drive Mode is up to about 1 km
(1/2 mile) if driven at a speed of about 40 km/h (25 mph) or less. (Possible
driving distance depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level and
driving conditions.)
Changing a driving mode when in EV-Drive Mode
EV-Drive Mode can be used in conjunction with Eco drive mode and power
mode.
However, EV-Drive Mode may be automatically canceled when used in con-
junction with power mode.
Fuel economy
Your Toyota is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during
normal driving (using the gasoline engine and electric motor [traction
motor]). Driving in EV-Drive Mode more than necessary may lower fuel
economy.
CAUTION
While driving
When driving in EV-Drive Mode, pay special attention to the area around the
vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicy-
cles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle
starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving.
