1-4. Hybrid system
motor) drives the vehicle. At slow
speeds or when traveling down a
gentle slope, the engine is stopped*
and the electric motor (traction
motor) is used.
When the shift lever is in N, the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
not being charged.
*: When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) requires charging or the engine
is warming up, etc., the gasoline
engine will not automatically stop.
( P. 7 6 )
■During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predomi-
nantly used. The electric motor
(traction motor) charges the hybrid
battery (traction battery) as neces-
sary.
■When accelerating sharply
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily, the power of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
added to that of the gasoline engine
via the electric motor (traction
motor).
■When braking (regenerative
braking)
The wheels operate the electric
motor (traction motor) as a power
generator, and the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is charged.
■Regenerative braking
●In the following situations, kinetic
energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the
recharging of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery). • The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or
B. • The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or B.
●Vehicles with GPF system: While the GPF system ( P.327) is operating to
regenerate the exhaust gas filter, the hybrid battery (traction battery) may not be recharged.
■EV indicator
The EV indicator comes on when the vehicle is driven using only the electric motor (traction motor) or the gasoline
engine is stopped.
■Conditions in which the gasoline
engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions:
●During gasoline engine warm-up
●During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
●When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
●When the heater is switched on
Depending on the circumstances, the
gasoline engine may also not stop auto- matically in other situations.
■Charging the hybrid battery (trac-tion battery)
As the gasoline engine charges the hybrid battery (traction battery), the bat-tery does not need to be charged from
an outside source. However, if the vehi- cle is left parked for a long time the hybrid battery (traction battery) will

4-6. Driving tips
a traffic jam, gently release the
brake pedal to allow the vehicle to
move forward slightly while avoid-
ing overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consumption.
Control and maintain the vehicle at
a constant speed. Before stopping
at a toll booth or similar, allow
plenty of time to release the accel-
erator and gently apply the brakes.
A greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated when
slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help
reduce excessive gasoline con-
sumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. Doing so will help to
reduce the burden on the air condi-
tioning system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Because the gasoline
engine will not automatically cut out
until it and the interior of the vehicle
are warm, it will consume fuel. Also,
fuel consumption can be improved
by avoiding overuse of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor
fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel econ-
omy. Use tires that are appropriate
for the season.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a
large roof rack will also cause poor
fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up
and cuts out automatically when
cold, warming up the engine is
unnecessary. Moreover, frequently
driving short distances will cause
the engine to repeatedly warm up,
which can lead to excess fuel con-
sumption.

■Adjusting the position of and
opening and closing the air
outlets
Direct air flow to the left or right, up
or down
Center outlets: Move the knob fully to
the left-side to close the vent.
Side outlets: Move the knob fully to the
outside to close the vent.
*: If equipped
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield defog- ger from operating improperly
Do not place anything on the instru- ment panel which may cover the air outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be
obstructed, preventing the windshield defoggers from defogging.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the seat heaters
Do not put heavy objects that have an
uneven surface on the seat and do not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-charge
Do not use the functions when the hybrid system is off.
