Question
Answer
What is the purpose of the ECON
button?
ECON mode may provide
improved fuel economy by
preventing the gasoline engine
from running for the sole purpose
of providing air conditioning. When
the engine turns off, the A/C
compressor does not operate and
warm air may come out of the
vents. In ECON mode, A/C
operates as normal when the
gasoline engine is running.
Can I tow the hybrid behind my
motor home with all four wheels
down?
Yes. Your hybrid vehicle can be
“flat-towed” without modification.
See the
Recreational Towing
section in the
Tires, Wheels and
Loading
chapter for more
information.
