FEATURES/OPERATIONS
(1) Depress the brake pedal, and press the “POWER” switch
briefly and firmly.
(2) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the
light remains steady and a
beep sounds, you may begin
driving.
Starting the Hybrid System
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.
Tips for improved fuel economy
-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.
Hybrid Synergy Drive System

- Doors lock when the vehicle speed is approximately 12 mph or higher.
- Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
- Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 10 seconds after
