  • Page 60 1-1. Hybrid system  Luggage Carrying heavy luggage can lead to poor fuel consumption. Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack can also cause poor fuel consumption.  Warming up before driving Since the gasoline engine starts up and cuts out automatically when cold, warming up the engine is unnecessary.
