Silent Key Start
when you switch on the
ignition, your engine may
not sound like it has started
because your hybrid vehicle
is equipped with silent key
start. this fuel-saving feature
allows your vehicle to be ready
to drive without requiring your
gas engine to be running. instead of listening for a
traditional gasoline-powered engine sound, look for
the 'ready to drive' indicator light in your information
display. when the light displays, your vehicle has
been successfully started and is ready to drive.
High-voltage Lithium-ion Battery System
the battery pack is a self-charging system and does not require
regular service maintenance. the battery compartment is located
behind the rear, fold-down seats. Cabin air draws through vents in
the rear package tray (located near the rear speakers), and cools
the battery. For optimal battery operation, keep these air inlets
free of any potential obstruction. the battery pack should be
serviced only by an authorized technician. improper handling can
result in personal injury or death. Refer to your Owner's Manual
for more details.

Unique Driving characteristics

your hybrid comes equipped with a gasoline-powered engine, an
electric motor and a high-voltage lithium-ion battery. the power-
split architecture switches between electric-only mode, gas-only
mode or a combination of both.
depending on driving conditions, here's how the power split works:
Accelerating: step on the gas and get all the responsiveness of a
traditional gasoline engine.
City Driving: in stop and go driving and at low speeds, the electric
motor provides the necessary power, with the gas engine only
kicking in to recharge the battery or when more power is needed.
Cruising/Highway Driving: due to greater power demands at
highway speeds, your vehicle will use the gasoline engine more
frequently than while driving at city traffic speeds. this is normal.
Braking: the regenerative braking system supplements the
standard braking system, recovers some of the energy from
braking and stores it in the battery to improve fuel economy.
Stopping: to save energy, the gasoline engine usually shuts off.
EcO cruise control
saves vehicle energy by relaxing acceleration compared to
standard cruise control. your vehicle may temporarily lose speed
when going uphill. ECO will appear in the information display when
you switch on eCo cruise control. it can be switched on or off in the
information display.
EV+ Mode
automatically learns your frequent destinations after two to four
weeks of use, allowing for more eV driving as you approach them.
when nearing your home, it should be easier to stay in electric
mode. when active, the eV indicator will display EV+. you can
clear your frequent destinations with a lifetime summary reset
through the settings menu. the EV+ feature can also be switched
off through the driver assist section of the settings menu.
