ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of Hybrid system

  • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate and maintain a steady cruising speed. Do not make "jack-rabbit" starts. Do not race between stoplights. Avoid heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distance from other vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
  • The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle decelerates.
  • When the hybrid battery power is low, the hybrid system automatically recharges the hybrid battery.
  • When the engine is running with the shift lever in N (Neutral), the hybrid system cannot generate electricity. The hybrid battery cannot recharge with the shift lever in N (Neutral).
