Primarily using EV mode and
AUTO EV/HV mode when driving in
cities and using HV mode when
driving on highways (or freeways)
can help conserve fuel and electric-
ity. (P.86)
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the accel-
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/cool-
ing) will be minimized, improving
fuel and electricity economy.
(P.411)
Eco-friendly driving is possible by

(especially a necktie or scarf) to become caught and result in a seri-ous injury.
●After connecting the charging cable, confirm that it is not wound
around anything.
●If the power indicator on the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) does not illuminate after plugging the AC charging cable into
the socket-outlet, unplug it immedi- ately.
