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 →Convenience →
Coasting Guide
For the explanation of the system,
press and hold the [OK] button.
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
vehicle in D (Drive). Then, satisfy the
following.
- The operational speed is above 25
mph (40 km/h).
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 referring
to the coasting guide system as guid-
ance.

Power Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted
brakes that adjust automatically
through normal usage.
If the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode or the vehicle is turned
off while driving, the power assist for
the brakes will not work. You can still
stop your vehicle by applying greater
force to the brake pedal than typical.
The stopping distance, however, will
be longer than with power brakes.
When the vehicle is not in the ready
( ) mode, the reserve brake
power is partially depleted each time
the brake pedal is applied. Do not
pump the brake pedal when the
power assist has been interrupted.
Pump the brake pedal only when
necessary to maintain steering con-
trol on slippery surfaces.

Take the following precautions:
Do not drive with your foot
resting on the brake pedal.
This will create abnormal high
brake temperatures, exces-
sive brake lining and pad
wear, and increased stopping
distances.
When descending down a
long or steep hill, move the
gear shift lever to Manual
Shift Mode and manually
downshift to a lower gear in
order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal
excessively. Applying the
brakes continuously will
cause the brakes to overheat
and could result in a tempo-
rary loss of braking perform-
ance.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Wet brakes may impair the
vehicle's ability to safely slow
down; the vehicle may also
pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Applying
the brakes lightly will indicate
whether they have been
affected in this way. Always
test your brakes in this fash-
ion after driving through deep
water. To dry the brakes, light-
ly tap the brake pedal to heat
up the brakes while maintain-
ing a safe forward speed until
brake performance returns to
normal. Avoid driving at high
speeds until the brakes func-
tion correctly.
WARNING

Do not depress the brake pedal
continuously without the " "
indicator ON. The battery may be
discharged.
Some noise and vibration may
occur during braking. This is
normal.
In below cases, some electric
brake pump noise and motor
vibration may occur temporarily.
This is normal operation.
- When the pedal is depressed
very quickly
- When the pedal is depressed
multiple times in short inter-
vals
- When the ABS function is acti-
vated during braking
Disc Brake Wear Indicator
When your brake pads are worn and
new pads are required, you will hear
a high pitched warning sound from
your front or rear brakes. You may
hear this sound come and go or it
may occur whenever you depress
the brake pedal.
Note that some driving conditions or
climates may cause a brake squeal
when you first apply (or lightly apply)
the brakes. This is normal and does
not indicate a problem with your
brakes.
To avoid costly brake repairs, do
not continue to drive with worn
brake pads.
Information
Always replace brake pads as com-
plete front or rear axle sets.
Parking Brake
(foot type, if equipped)
