HYBRID VEHICLE OPERATION
This hybrid vehicle combines electric andgasoline propulsion to provide breakthroughperformance and improved efficiency.
Familiarizing yourself with these uniquecharacteristics will provide an optimal drivingexperience from your new vehicle.
Note:You may notice higher engine speedsupon start-up. This temporary condition isnormal and necessary to heat up the cabinand minimize emissions.
Starting:
When you start your vehicle, agreen ready indicator light willappear in the lower right portionof the instrument cluster and a ready to drivemessage will appear in the middle of the leftcluster screen, letting you know that yourvehicle is ready for driving.
The engine may not start because thisvehicle is equipped with silent key start. Thisfuel saving feature allows your vehicle to beready–to–drive without requiring the gasengine to be running. This indicator willremain on while your vehicle is on, whetherthe engine is running or not to indicate yourvehicle is capable of movement (using itselectric motor, engine, or both). Typically, theengine will not start unless the vehicle iscold, a climate control change is requested,or the accelerator is pressed.
Driving:
The gas engine automatically starts andstops to provide power when needed andto save fuel when not needed. Whilecoasting at low speeds, coming to a stop, orstanding, the gas engine normally shutsdown and your vehicle operates inelectric-only mode.
Conditions that may cause the engine to startup or remain running include:
•Considerable vehicle acceleration.
•Vehicle speed above 85 mph (137 km/h).However, the maximum speed forelectric-only operation may be lowerwhile driving in hot temperatures or onhilly terrain.
•Ascending a hill.
•Charge level of high voltage battery islow.
•Very high or low outside temperature (toprovide system cooling or heating).
•Engine not warm enough to providepassenger requested cabin temperature.
Stopping:
The gas engine may shut off to conserve fuelas you come to a stop. Restarting yourvehicle is not required. Simply step on theaccelerator when you are ready to drive.

During certain events (such as vehicleservicing) your low voltage 12-volt batterymay become disconnected or disabled. Oncethe battery is reconnected and after drivingthe vehicle, the engine may continue tooperate for three to five seconds after thekey is turned to off. This is a normalcondition.
Braking:
Your hybrid is equipped with standardhydraulic braking and regenerative braking.Regenerative braking is performed by yourtransmission and it captures brake energyand stores it in your high voltage battery.
Driving to Optimize Fuel Economy
Note:Having your engine running is notalways an indication of inefficiency. In somecases, it is actually more efficient thandriving in electric mode.
Your fuel economy should improvethroughout your hybrid's break-in period. Aswith any vehicle, your driving habits andaccessory usage can significantly impactyour fuel economy. For best results, keep inmind these tips:
•Keep the tires properly inflated and onlyuse the recommended size.
•Aggressive driving increases the amountof energy required to move your vehicle.In general, you can achieve better fueleconomy with mild to moderateacceleration and deceleration. Moderatebraking is particularly important since itallows you to maximize the energycaptured by the regenerative brakingsystem.
Additional Tips:
•Do not carry extra loads.
•Be mindful of adding externalaccessories that may increaseaerodynamic drag.
•Observe posted speed limits.
•Perform all scheduled maintenance.
•There is no need to wait for your engineto warm up. The vehicle is ready to driveimmediately after starting.
ECOSELECT
EcoSelect is a drive mode for non plug-invehicles designed to offer the best possiblefuel economy with tradeoffs in vehicleperformance and comfort.
To switch EcoSelect on, press theECO button.
A graphic displays on your informationdisplay when EcoSelect is on.
Your vehicle will remember the last selectedmode whenever you start your vehicle.
EcoSelect allows your vehicle to operatemore efficiently. You will notice:
•Less aggressive cooling.
•Softer acceleration.
•Increased deceleration when coasting.
