Eco-friendly driving tips

For improved fuel economy and reduced CO
attention to the following points:
◆
Using Eco drive mode (vehicles with driving mode select
switches)
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accel-
erator 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. 432)
◆
Use of Eco Driving Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the bar display of
the Eco Driving Indicator shown in the multi-information display and
Head-up display within the Zone of Eco driving.
(P. 145, 163, 169)
◆
Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceler-
ation. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce
excessive fuel consumption.
◆
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.
◆
Delays
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.
