energy saving tips
HELP MAXIMIZE YOUR FUEL ECONOMY BY UTILIZING THESE FEW TIPS
1. Use smooth acceleration and braking.
According to the United States
Department of Energy, aggressive driving
can lower your gas mileage by up to
33 percent at highway speeds and
5 percent in the city.
2. Carry the bare essentials.
The Department of Energy estimates
that an extra 100 pounds (45 kilograms)
in your vehicle could reduce your fuel
economy by up to 2 percent.
3. Seasonal fuel makes a dierence.
Winter fuel contains slightly less energy
than summer fuel, so the fuel blend you
fill up with can impact your eciency.
4. Idling burns fuel, too.
You can burn up to half a gallon (1.9 liters)
of fuel per hour while idling. Minimize your
morning warm-up and parking lot waits
to get the most out of filling your tank.
5. Avoid extreme temperatures.
Find a shady or sheltered spot to help
keep your lithium-ion battery operating
eciently, and minimize the amount of
energy required to heat or cool your cabin.
6. Use accessories wisely.
Heat and air conditioning reduce
your vehicle’s electric range and can
prompt the gasoline engine to operate.
Use energy from your home outlet or
charging station by taking advantage of
the preconditioning feature and setting
your GO Times in advance. When you
precondition your vehicle, you can reduce
the amount of heating or air conditioning
you need at the start of your drive. See
page 3 for more SmartGauge details.
7. Check your tires.
Proper tire inflation can help you
improve your fuel economy by up to
3.3 percent, according to the Department
of Energy, while under-inflation could
lower your fuel economy by 0.3 percent
for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four
tires. Check your vehicle’s door sticker for
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.

FUEL FRESHNESS MODE
This feature helps keep the fuel system
functional and the fuel fresh.
If you operate your vehicle mainly in plug-in
power mode using electricity from plugging
in without refueling, the gasoline in your
tank eventually becomes stale. Stale fuel
can damage the engine and fuel system.
To prevent the fuel from becoming stale,
your vehicle automatically enters fuel
freshness mode. In fuel freshness mode,
your vehicle operates in hybrid mode,
causing the gasoline engine to run in order
to consume the fuel in the fuel tank.
NOTE If you do not add new fuel during
an 18-month period, fuel freshness mode
consumes fuel until 1.2 gallons (4.5 liters)
remain in the tank.
During Fuel Freshness Mode
» The information display screen
indicates that fuel freshness mode
is active.
» The vehicle runs only in hybrid mode.
EV Now is not available.
» Most of the plug-in power stores until
fuel freshness mode is complete.
