Coasting guide (if equipped)
A chime will sound and the coasting
guide indicator will blink four times to
inform the driver when to take the
foot off the accelerator by anticipat-
ing a decelerating event* based on
the analysis of driving routes and
road conditions according to the nav-
igation system. It encourages the
driver to remove the foot from the
pedal and allow coasting down the
road with EV motor only. This helps
preventing unnecessary fuel con-
sumption and increases fuel efficien-
cy.
❈ Example of a deceleration event is
going down an extended hill,
approaching a toll booth, and
approaching
zones.
