FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Starting your vehicle
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition,
the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel
economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid S ystem are
shown on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system
screen.
Tips for improved fuel economy
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the air conditioning.
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in two different modes, or

-Doors lock when the vehicle speed is approximately 12 mph or higher.
-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.
-Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 10 seconds after turning the
“POWER” switch OFF.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
