Driving
C-HR_HV_OM_Europe_OM10720E
◆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.
