Possible driving distance when driving in EV drive mode
■
In EV drive mode, it is possible to drive up about 1/2 mile (1 km) if driving at a speed
of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or less.
(The distance that is possible depends on the hybrid battery [traction battery] level
and driving conditions.)
Fuel economy
■
RX450h is designed to achieve the best possible fuel economy during normal driv-
ing (using the gasoline engine and electric motor [traction motor]). Driving in EV
drive mode more than necessary may lower fuel economy.
CAUTION
Caution while driving
■
When driving in EV drive mode no engine noise is made. As such, pedestrians,
people riding bicycles or other people and vehicles in the surrounding area may not
be aware of the vehicle starting off or approaching them. Therefore, take extra care
while driving even if the Vehicle Proximity Notification System is active.
