10Quick Reference Guide
SPORT HYBRID i-MMD (intelligent Multi Mode 
Drive)Your SPORT HYBRID i-MMD vehicle uses both an electric motor and a gasoline engine as propulsion sources, with the electric moto r 
receiving electricity from an internal High Voltage battery or internal generator. The High Voltage battery can be charged from  the 
generator driven by the engine or regenerative braking.
When driving, your vehicle is propelled exclusively by the electric motor, exclusively by the gasoline engine, or by a combinat ion of two. The 
system selects which propulsion source is most appropriate and automatically switches to it. Under certain circumstances, press ing the EV 
button can manually enable EV (driven only on electricity) mode.
● Energy efficiency
As with a gasoline-powered vehicle, hybrid vehicle fuel efficiency and driving range is most impacted by your driving style. Ag gressive 
acceleration and high -speed driving can easily trigger the system to switch  the propulsion source to the gasoline-powered engin e.
In addition, heavy climate control system use negatively affects vehicle range and efficiency. Either of these use patterns wil l more quickly 
reduce the High Voltage battery's state of charge.
● Battery types
There are two types of batteries used in this vehicle; a st andard 12-volt battery that powers the airbags, the interior and ext erior lights, and 
other standard 12-volt systems; and a high voltage battery that is used to power the propulsion motor and recharge the 12-volt  battery.
