Driving
When Driving
Turning on the Power
1.Make sure the parking brake is applied.
2. Depress the brake pedal.1When Driving
When you set the power mode to ON, you may feel
as if the brake pedal is sinking down. This is normal.
1Turning on the Power
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the power system.
The engine is harder to st art in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altit udes above 8,000 feet (2,400
meters).
When turning on the power system in cold weather,
turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to
reduce 12-volt battery drain.
If the temperature of the High Voltage battery drops
below approximately –22°F (–30°C), the power
system will not start, the High Voltage battery will not
operate and, as a result, the vehicle will not start.
Store the vehicle in a garage or take another measure
to insure that temperature of the High Voltage
battery does not fa ll below this temperature. If
necessary, consult a dealer.

uuWhen Driving uECON Mode
Driving
ECON Mode
The ECON button turns the ECON mode on and off.
The ECON mode helps you improve your energy economy by adjusting the
performance of the climate control system and the accelerator pedal response.
1 ECON Mode
While in the ECON mode, the climate control system
has greater temperat ure fluctuations.
When the ECON mode is active, the driver’s side seat
heater functions accordi ng to the status of the
climate control system. If you want to use only the
climate control system, press the seat heater button
to OFF.
If you select ECON mode , the threshold for the
engine to provide additional power is higher than it is
when the vehicle is in eith er of the other two drive
modes. Note that if the ac celerator pedal is depressed
past the point at which you feel a click, the engine
will start in the ECON mode.
Due to emergency brake s operation or driving
conditions, you may not be ab le to change the mode.
