TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the vehicle.
To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force generates
electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the engine shuts off
when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle
emissions and improved performance.
1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
2. When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
5. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

TRAC OFF switch
When a collision may occur with an obstacle while parking or traveling at low
speeds, when the vehicle suddenly moves forward due to mistaken accelerator
pedal operation, or when the vehicle moves due to the wrong shift position being
selected, the sensors are designed to detect obstacles to the front or rear in the
traveling direction of the vehicle, and the system operates to lessen impact with
obstacles such as walls, and reduce resulting damage.
CHANGE SETTINGS
Note: Use “”, “” and “” of the meter control switches to select and
in the Multi-Information Display (MID) to change settings. The system will
continue in the last state it was in (ON or OFF) when the ignition is turned on
again.
Refer to the Owner‘s Manual for limitations and more details on this system.
