Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy
and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of
the hybrid battery (traction battery).
The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in
D or B.
The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or
B.
EV indicator
Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
During gasoline engine warm-up
During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or
low
When the heater is switched on
The EV indicator comes on when driving
the vehicle using only the electric motor
(traction motor).

Before driving

Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
control excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode.
Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioner and
reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically cut
out until the gasoline engine and the interior of the vehicle are
warm, it will consume fuel. Also, fuel consumption can be
improved by avoiding overuse of the heater.
Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to poor fuel consumption. Use a tire that is
appropriate for the season.
Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid
carrying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack can also
cause poor fuel consumption.
Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary. Moreover, frequently
driving short distances will cause the engine to repeatedly warm up,
which can lead to poor fuel consumption.

CT200h_OM_OM76067E_(EE)
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and
ambient conditions. As a result, the following may occur:
Immediately after the button is pressed, the fan may stop for a while
until warm or cool air is ready to flow.
Cool air may flow to the area around the upper body when the heater is
on.
Humidity sensor (if equipped)
Using the system in recirculated air mode
The windows will fog up more easily if recirculated air mode is used.
Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Recirculated air mode or outside air mode may be automatically switched to
in accordance with the temperature setting and the inside temperature.
A sensor, which detects humidity inside
the vehicle and the temperature of the
windshield, is provided to detect fog on
the front windscreen. Due to the sensor,
when automatic mode is set the air condi-
tioning may make the following controls:
Changing the amount of air flow
Changing the amount of air introduced
from outside when in outside air mode
with the air vents in the position
Changing the settings of the air vents to
