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 for\
ce
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In add\
ition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fu\
el economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown on the Multi-Information Display and/or navigation system
screen (if equipped).
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on\
the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking en\
ergy.
5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

The parking assist sonar system operates when the vehicle approaches an \
obstacle. The distance from your vehicle to nearby obstacles when parall\
el parking
or maneuvering into a garage is measured by sensors and communicated via\
the
Multi-Information Display (MID), the navigation system screen and audible beeps.
When the sensor detects an obstacle, the direction of and the approximat\
e
distance to the obstacle are displayed on the MID display or the navigat\
ion system
screen by illuminating continuously (far) or blinking (near), and beeping sounds will
switch from intermittent to continuous as you approach and get closer to\
a detected
obstacle. When the sensors detect two or more obstacles, the audible ale\
rts will
respond to the nearest zone.
Always check the surrounding area when using this system.
Refer to section Intuitive parking assist in the Navigation and Multimed\
ia System
