SPORT HYBRID Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™
(SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD
®
)
This vehicle uses electric motors and a gasoline engine. A High Voltage battery
powers the electric motor. The High Voltage battery is recharged by an engine-
driven generator and regenerative braking. The vehicle automatically manages the
engine and motors, switching between them or blending them as appropriate. As
a result, the gasoline engine will automatically stop and start as needed to meet
driving and battery conditions.
In addition to the High Voltage battery, this vehicle includes a standard 12-volt
battery to power the airbags, the interior and exterior lights, and other 12-volt
systems.
Your driving style heavily impacts fuel efficiency and driving range. Spirited
acceleration, high-speed driving, or heavy climate-control use can quickly reduce
the High Voltage battery’s charge. That can trigger the system to switch to the
gasoline-powered engine.

The power system runs for up to 10 minutes. To extend the run time for another

While the power system is running, the climate control system adjusts the cabin
temperature, the security system remains on, and lights and accessories remain off.
Stopping the Engine
Press and hold ENGINE.
The power system will also stop if it has been running for more than 10 minutes,
or if any door is opened without using the remote or keyless access.
Engine exhaust contains toxic carbon monoxide gas.
Breathing carbon monoxide can kill you or cause unconsciousness.
Never use the remote engine starter when the vehicle is parked in a garage
or other area with limited ventilation.
