FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Transmission
1 The “POWER” switch must be set at “ON” and the brake pedal depressed to shift
from Park.
2 The engine brake is the equivalent of downshifting. Shift to “B” when engine
braking is desired (i.e. downhill driving, coasting to a stop, etc.).
Steering lock release
Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in four different modes, or
turned OFF.
-Doors lock when shifting from Park.
-Doors lock when the vehicle speed goes above approximately 12 mph.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
-Doors unlock when the “POWER” switch is set from ON to ACC or OFF and driver’s
door is opened.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
(1) Put the selector lever in “P.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and “
” will be displayed on the Multi-Information
Display.
(3) Press the “POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
(4) 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 and/or navigation system
screen (if equipped).
Tips for improved fuel economy
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual .
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
Gently turn wheel while pressing the “POWER” switch. If the lock does not release,
the switch indicator will flash green.

FEATURES/OPERATIONS
The Blind Spot Monitor is a system that has 2 functions:
• The Blind Spot Monitor function (assists the driver in decision-making when changing lanes)
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert function (assists the driver when backing up)
It uses radar sensors to detect vehicles that are traveling in the area that is not
reflected in the outside rearview mirror (the blind spot), and advises the driver of
the vehicles’ existence via the outside rearview mirror indicator.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for more details on this system before attempting
to use it.
Moonroof (if equipped)
Sliding operation
Multi-Information Display
Push “DISP” to change information in the following:
(1) Cruising range/Average fuel consumption
(2) Average vehicle speed/elapsed time
(3) Eco drive level
(4) Energy monitor
(5) Customization
(6) (off)
Push once to open; moonroof will automatically stop at the recommended
position. Push again to open completely.
BSM (Blind Spot Monitor)(if equipped)
System ON/OFF
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent rolling backwards on an incline. To engage, push further down
on brake pedal while at a complete stop until a beep sounds and slip indicator
illuminates. HAC holds for approximately two seconds after releasing brake pedal.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
