Hybrid Electric Vehicle driving tips
◆Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the acce l-
erator pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly
than it is in normal conditions. In addition, the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling) will be minimized, improv ing
the fuel economy. ( P. 4 3 2 )
◆Use of Hybrid System Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Hybrid Syst em
Indicator within Eco area. ( P. 168)
◆Shift lever operation
Shift the shift lever to D when stopped at a traffic light, or driving in
heavy traffic, etc. Shift the shift lever to P when parking. Wh en
using the N, there is no positive effect on fuel consumption. I n the
N, the gasoline engine operates but electricity cannot be gener -
ated. Also, when using the air conditioning system, etc., the h ybrid
battery (traction battery) power is consumed.
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
● Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will make
more effective use of the electric motor (traction motor) witho ut
having to use gasoline engine power.
● Avoid repeated acceleration. Repeated acceleration consumes
hybrid battery (traction battery) power, resulting in poor fuel con-
sumption. Battery power can be restored by driving with the
accelerator pedal slightly released.
For economical and ecological driving, pay attention to the fol -
lowing points:

◆When braking
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in a timely manner. A
greater amount of electrical energy can be regenerated when slo w-
ing down.
◆Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits a t
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic re ports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible. When drivi ng
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the v ehicle to
move forward slightly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control excessive gasoline consumption .
◆Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before st op-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to releas e the
accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of el ec-
trical energy can be regenerated when slowing down.
◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recirc u-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air
conditioning system and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine will not automatically c ut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle are warm, it will cons ume fuel.
Fuel consumption can be improved by avoiding overuse of the
heater.

Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Engine oil
• Engine/power control unit coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspect the condition of the 12-volt bat-
tery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires*.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that cha ins match
the size of the tires.
*: Tire chains cannot be mounted on 18-inch tires or 19-inch tir es.
Perform the following according to the driving conditions:
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, vehicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a ma n-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

■nanoe™ *1 (if equipped)
This vehicle incorporates a biocidal product.
Ionised air generated by a device incorporated in the vehicle p urifies the air in
the cabin by suppressing bacteria.
Active substance: Free radicals generated in situ from ambient air or water
The air conditioning system adopts nanoe™ technology. This help s to fill the
cabin with refreshing air by emitting slightly acidic nanoe™ co ated with water
particles through the passenger’s side vent*2.
● When the fan is turned on, nanoe™ system is activated.
● When the fan is operated in the following conditions, system performance
will be maximized. If the following conditions are not met, nan oe™ may not
operate at full capacity.
• The upper body, the upper body and feet or the feet air outlet s are being
used. ( P. 549)
• The passenger’s side vent is open.
● When nanoe™ is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and may
be faintly smelled in some situations. However, this is approxi mately the
same as the amount that already exists in nature, such as in fo rests, and it
has no affect on the human body.
● A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.

*2: According to temperature and humidity conditions, fan speed and direction
of the air flow, nanoe™ may not operate at full capacity.
