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 the 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 and/or navigation system
screen (if equipped).

Tips for improved fuel economy

1. Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.

2. Link trips to reduce engine cold starts whenever possible.

3. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.

4. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.

5. Minimize use of the Air Conditioning.

Starting the Hybrid System

Auto lock/unlock

Automatic door locks can be programmed to operate in four different modes, or
turned OFF.

-Doors lock when shifting from Park.

-Doors lock when the vehicle speed goes above approximately 12 mph.

-Doors unlock when shifting into Park.

-Doors unlock when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is set to OFF and driver’s

door is opened.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
