Hybrid Synergy Drive 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. When the brakes are applied, the braking force generates electricity, which
is then sent to the traction battery to conserve energy. In addition, the engine shuts
off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy and reduced
vehicle emissions.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display (MID) and the audio system
screen (navigation system or multi-media system.)
- Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
- Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.
- 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.
(1) Put the shift lever in “Park.”
(2) Depress the brake pedal, and “ ” (4.2-in MID) or “ ” (7-in MID) will be
displayed on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
(3) Press the “POWER” button briefly and firmly.
(4) The “READY” light will blink. After a few seconds, when the light remains steady
and a beep sounds, shift the lever to the desired position and you may begin
driving.
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
TIPS FOR IMPROVED FUEL ECONOMY
STARTING THE HYBRID SYSTEM
* The vehicle must be on and the brake pedal depressed to shift from Park.
Downshifting increases power going uphill, or provides engine braking downhill. For
best fuel economy during normal driving conditions, always drive with the shift lever
in the “D” position.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
“S” MODE
Push shift lever to the left from “D” position, to “S” position.
Shift lever type:
+: Upshift (push and release)
-: Downshift (pull and release)
Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in different modes, or turned
OFF.
Speed linked door locking function
- Doors lock when the vehicle speed goes approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) or
higher.
Driver’s door linked door unlocking function
- Doors unlock when the driver’s door is opened within 45 seconds after turning the
vehicle off.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.

EV drive mode
In EV drive mode, electric power is supplied by the hybrid battery (traction battery),
and only the electric motor (traction motor) is used to drive the vehicle.
This mode allows you to drive in residential areas early in the morning and late at
night, or in indoor parking lots etc. without concern for noises and gas emissions.
However, when the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System is active, the vehicle may
produce sound.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.
FEATURES & OPERATIONS

SPORT mode
Use Sport mode when increased acceleration response and precise handling is
desired, for example, when driving on mountain roads.
NORMAL mode
Use for normal driving.
ECO drive mode
Use Eco drive mode to help achieve low fuel consumption during trips that involve
frequent accelerating.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details on this system.
Automatic mode (shift lever operation)
To turn automatic mode ON, while vehicle is stopped, pull and hold the switch until
a buzzer sounds and “EPB Shift Interlock Function Activated” displays on the Multi-
Information Display (MID). While depressing the brake pedal, shifting into P position
will automatically set the brake and turn the parking brake indicator and parking
brake light on. To release brake, depress the brake pedal and shift out of P. The

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for limitations and more details.
The brake hold system keeps the brake applied when the shift lever is in D, S or
N while the system is on and the brake pedal has been depressed to stop the
vehicle. The system releases the brake when the accelerator pedal is depressed
with the shift lever in D or S to allow smooth start off.
