PRIUS_OM_OM47F01U_(U)
This system operates based on the driving situation and traffic infor-
mation to enhance fuel economy.
For details about Predictive efficient drive, refer to “NAVIGAT ION

off to encourage the dr iver to reduce excessive acceleration.
● The engine braking force will be increased according to the dri ving
conditions to more efficiently c harge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) after the accelera tor pedal is released.
*: This function can only be used in the mainland U.S.A. It cann ot be used in
other states and territories, including Alaska and Hawaii.
