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 motor
receiving electricity from an internal High Voltage battery or internal generator. Th e 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 elec tric motor, exclusively by the gasoline engine, or by a combinat ion of the two.
The system selects which propulsion source is most appropriate and automatically switches to it. Under certain circumstances, p ressing 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. Aggressive
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 us e 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 standa rd 12-volt battery that powers the airbags, the interior and exterior 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.

Quick Reference Guide
●Regenerative Energy and Regenerative Braking
When decelerating without the accelerator being depressed or the brake pedal being applied, or
while driving downhill, the electric motor acts as a generator that recovers a portion of the
electrical energy that was used to accelerate th e vehicle. This regenerative braking slows the
vehicle in a manner similar to engine braking in a gasoline-powered vehicle. You can control the
rate of deceleration by using the deceleration paddle selector.
● Auto Engine Stop/Start
Your vehicle’s gasoline engine automatically stops running duri ng vehicle operation or restarts while the vehicle is stationary when it is
appropriate.
In the following cases, however, au to engine stop may not activate.
•The vehicle momentarily needs additional power for aggressive acceleration, or driving uphill or at high speed.•The climate control system is in heavy use.
•The High Voltage battery temperature is high or low.
● Sounds Unique to the SPORT HYBRID i-MMD System
When you first start driving this vehicle, you will likely hear some unfamiliar sounds, particularly when you turn on the power system, or
while you are driving or accelerating from a stop. Some of these sounds are unique to this vehicle‘s powertrain, fuel, and clim ate control
systems; others are similar to sounds generate d by conventional automobiles that typically are masked by louder noises absent f rom a
vehicle of this design. These sounds are not a cause for concern, and you will soon recognize them as normal and thus be able t o detect any
new or unusual noise should one develop.
