C-HR_HEV_OM_Europe_OM10764E
■ Changing a driving mode when in EV drive mode
EV drive mode can be used in conjunction with “ECO” mode and “S PORT”
mode.
However, EV drive mode may be automatically canceled when used in con-
junction with “SPORT” mode.
■ Fuel economy
The hybrid system is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy
during normal driving (using the gasoline engine and electric m otor [traction
motor]). Driving in EV drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel econ-
omy.
WARNING
■ Caution while driving
When driving in EV drive mode, pay special attention to the are a around the
vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians, people riding bicy-
cles or other people and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehi-
cle starting off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving.
Therefore, take extra care while driving even if the acoustic v ehicle alerting
system is active.

■Shift ranges and their functions (S mode)
● You can choose from 6 levels of accelerating force and engine braking
force.
● A lower shift range will provide greater accelerating force and engine brak-
ing force than a higher shift range, and the engine revolutions will also
increase.
■ When driving with cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range acti vated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following with the intent of enabling engine brak-
ing, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range will not be canceled.
● While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4.
● When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.
