TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are s\
hown
on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline \
engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power fo\
r the vehicle.
To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force genera\
tes
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, reduc\
ed vehicle
emissions and improved performance.
- 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 ene\
rgy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.
