ECONOMICAL and SAFE
OPERATION of Hybrid system
• 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 pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
• The regenerative brake generates
energy when the vehicle deceler-
ates.
• When the hybrid battery power is
low, the hybrid system automatical-
ly recharges the hybrid battery.
• When the engine runs in “N” posi-
tion, the hybrid system cannot gen-
erate electricity. The hybrid battery
cannot recharge in “N” position.
Please refer to chapter 5.
✽ ✽

When the hybrid system is in
READY mode, the engine will auto-
matically start and stop as needed.
The “

the cluster when the system is oper-
ational.
CAUTION
- Extended
cranking
Do not crank the engine for a
prolonged period of time with-
out the engine starting. This
could result in damage to the
HEV battery and become totally
discharged.
