The coasting guide function informs
the driver when to take the foot off
from the accelerator by anticipating a
decelerating event* based on the
analysis of driving routes and road
conditions of the navigation. It
encourages the driver to remove foot
from the pedal and allow coasting
down the road with EV motor only.
This helps prevent unnecessary fuel
consumption and increases fuel effi-
ciency.
Information
Example of a deceleration event is
making a right/left turn, driving
through a rotary, entering or exiting a
highway (freeway), etc. The driver can activate the coasting
guide by placing the ignition switch in
the ON position and by selecting:
• User settings

Operation conditions
To activate the system, take the fol-
lowing procedures. Enter your desti-
nation information on the navigation
and select the driving route. Have the
vehicle in ECO mode by driving the

following.
- The driving speed should be between
40 km/h (25 mph) and 160 km/h (100
mph).
Information
The operating speed may vary due to
difference between instrument cluster
and navigation effected by tire infla-
tion level.
Information
Coasting guide is only a supplemental
system to assist with fuel-efficient
driving. Thus, the operating condi-
tions may be different in accordance
with traffic/road conditions (i.e. driv-
ing in a traffic jam, driving on a slope,
driving on a curve). Thus, take the
actual driving conditions into consid-
eration, such as distances from the
vehicles ahead/ behind, while refer-
ring to the coasting guide system as
guidance.
