Driving
ilar to conventional vehicles, and it is
necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. Refer to “Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle driving tips”
( P.100).
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced, the windows may become fogged-up, and the road could be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, as the road surface could be espe-
cially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance ( P.202)

gradually depress the accelerator pedal and accelerate to the desired speed. If excessive acceleration is
avoided, the “Start” score will increase.
●When driving: After accelerating to the desired speed, release the accelera-tor pedal and drive at a stable speed
within the ECO Accelerator Guidance range. By keeping the vehicle within the ECO Accelerator Guidance range,
the “Cruise” score will increase.
●When stopping: When stopping the
vehicle, early releasing the accelera- tor pedal will cause the “Stop” score to increase.
■Restraining the hybrid system out-
put (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake ped-
als are depressed at the same time,
the hybrid system output may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed on the multi-information display while the system is operating.
