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. To conserve energy, when the brakes

are applied, 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 System are shown on the

multi-information display. Refer to this

screen for important driving information

and feedback to maximize energy

use/creation and conserve fuel.

Tips for improved fuel economy

-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels

specified in the Owner's Manual.

-If 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.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
