5. Turn off the air conditioning when it’s not needed.
6. Use Economy Mode. This maximizes the vehicle’s fuel
economy. It’s activated by pressing the ‘ECO’ button.
The Economy Mode limits other aspects of the vehicle’s
performance, such as acceleration rate and air-
conditioning, to save fuel.
7. When accelerating keep the ‘Power’ needle in the green
range so that (depending on battery level) the petrol
engine does not start.
8. Avoid hard braking. Braking gently or moderately allows
the regenerative braking system to recover energy from
the vehicle’s forward motion and store it as electricity.
Hard braking causes the vehicle to use its conventional
friction brakes, which do not recover energy. When using
regenerative braking, the ‘negative’ (LH) paddle increases
the amount of regenerative braking and thus the braking
force. This action also reduces wear to the braking system
components.
9. Use 4WD Lock Mode only when additional traction or
stability is required.
10. Familiarise yourself with the car’s hybrid information
display so you can monitor how much energy is being
used.

• To switch between the power modes (OFF/ACC/ON), press the power switch without depressing the brake pedal. The selected power mode can be identified by the colour of the indicator lamp on the switch. The indicator lamp on the
switch is not illuminated while the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system is off.
• If you cannot start the Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle system or switch between the power modes, the keyless operation key may be in a place where the signal is poor or the key’s battery may have run out.

Pressing the switch again deactivates the demister. Alternatively, after about 15 to 20 minutes, the demister automatically turns off. Use the demister only when the READY
indicator is illuminated to prevent the auxiliary battery from going dead.
04 ECO Mode switch
The ECO mode supports fuel-efficient eco driving by automatically controlling the plug-in hybrid Electric Vehicle system and the air conditioner.
When the READY indicator is illuminated, pressing the ECO mode switch activates the ECO mode.
Pressing the switch again deactivates the ECO mode. While the ECO mode is active, the relevant indicator lamp on the instrument cluster stays illuminated.
02 Hazard warning flasher switch
Use the hazard warning flasher when you have to park your vehicle on the road
such as when a failure has occurred.
When the switch is pressed, all of the turn-signal lamps and the corresponding indicator lamps on the instrument cluster start blinking. When the switch is pressed again, the lamps and indicators stop blinking.
