Eco-friendly driving tips

For improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions, pay attention to the

following points:

Using Eco drive mode

When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accelerator

pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal

conditions. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/

cooling) will be minimized, improving the fuel economy. (P. 314)

Use of Eco Driving Indicator

The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Eco Driving Indicator Light

on and keeping the bar display of the Eco Driving Indicator shown in the multi-

information display within the Zone of Eco driving. (P. 113)

Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation

Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.

Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce excessive fuel con-

When braking

Observe conditions in front of and around the vehicle, and estimate your

stopping position. Release the accelerator pedal early and continue coasting.

Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping position. Make sure to operate

the brake pedal gently.

Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights,

will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports before leaving and avoid

delays as much as possible.
