This system operates based on the driving situation and traffic information of the
road being driven on, helping to ensure excellent fuel economy. For details about
Predictive efficient drive, refer to " MULTIMEDIA OWNER'S MANUAL".
Predictive deceleration support
■
When the vehicle approaches to predictive deceleration support points registered
in the navigation system, the engine braking force will be increased according
to the driving conditions to more efficiently charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after the accelerator pedal is released.
■ Predictive SOC
The following types of control are performed based on data such as road and
traffic information during route guidance by the navigation system to help ensure
that the vehicle efficiently uses electricity.
When there is a long downhill slope along the route, the system reduces the
●
hybrid battery (traction battery) level before reaching the slope to help ensure
charging capacity for regenerative braking while traveling downhill.
When traffic congestion is predicted along the route, the system helps ensure a
●
certain battery level before reaching congested roads to reduce the frequency
of starting the engine to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) due to low
battery levels.
