ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of the Hybrid system

  • Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate and maintain a steady cruising speed. Do not make “jackrabbit”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 out.

  • 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 gear in N (Neutral), the hybrid system cannot generate electricity. The hybrid battery cannot recharge with the gear in N (Neutral).

In the hybrid system, the engine automatically runs and stops. When the hybrid system operates, the READY indicator is illuminated.

In the following situation, the engine may operate automatically.
