◆Air conditioning
●Turn the “A/C” switch (
*1 • *2) off when it is
not needed. Doing so can help r educe excessive electricity and
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recir-
culated air mode. Doing so will he lp to reduce the burden on the
air conditioning system and reduc e electricity and fuel consump-
tion as well.
In winter: Avoid excessive and unn ecessary use of the heater.
Usage of the heated steering wheel (if equipped) and seat heat-
ers is effective. ( →P. 513)
● Using the Remote Air Conditioning System (→P. 509) while the
charging cable is connected to th e vehicle can reduce electricity
consumption immediately after starting off by operating air condi-
tioning mainly using electricity from an external power source.
● When setting the timer, selecting the start time setting mode and
setting “Climate Prep” to “On” can reduce electricity consumption
immediately after starting off by operating air conditioning before
charging is completed. ( →P. 147)
*1: Vehicles with 7-inch display
*2: Vehicles with 11.6-inch display
◆Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire infl ation pressure frequently. If there is
improper tire inflation pressure in the tires, the EV driving range will
become shorter, and fuel c onsumption when in HV mode will
increase.
Also, as snow tires can cause larg e amounts of friction, their use on
dry roads can lead to increased fuel and electricity consumption.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carry-
ing unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause
poor fuel economy.
◆Warming up before driving
Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically,
warming up is not necessary.
