䳜 Even if the smart key is in the
vehicle, if it is far away from
you, the engine may not start.
䳜 When the ENGINE START/STOP
button is in the ACC or ON posi
-
tion, if any door is open, the
system checks for the smart
key. If the smart key is not in

ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERA
-
TION of Hybrid system
䳜 Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a
moderate rate and maintain a
steady cruising speed. Don't make
"jack-rabbit" starts. Don't race
between stoplights.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever
possible. Always maintain a safe
distance from other vehicles so
you can avoid unnecessary brak
-
ing. This also reduces brake wear.
䳜 The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle deceler
-
ates.
䳜 When the hybrid battery power is
low, the hybrid system automati
-
cally recharges the hybrid bat
-
tery.
䳜 When the engine runs in "N" posi
-
tion, the hybrid system cannot
generate electricity. The hybrid
battery cannot recharge in "N"
position.
NOTICE
When the hybrid system is in READY
mode, the engine will automatically
start and stop as needed. The "
"
symbol will illuminate in the cluster
when the system is operational.
