TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown
on the Entune™ Audio system screen or the navigation system.
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.
- 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.
FEATURES/OPERATIONS
Hybrid Synergy Drive System
Auto lock/unlock
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in two different modes, or

- 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.
(1) Depress the brake pedal and
press the “POWER” switch briefly
