Coasting guide (if equipped)
A chime will sound and the coasting
guide indicator will blink four times to
inform the driver when to take the foot
off from the accelerator by anticipating
a decelerating event* based on the
analysis of driving routes and road con‐
ditions of the navigation. It encourages
the driver to remove foot from the
pedal and allow coasting down the road
with EV motor only. This helps prevent
unnecessary fuel consumption and in‐
creases fuel efficiency.

ing down approaching a toll booth,
and approaching reduced speed
zones.
