Coasting guide (if equipped)
OMQ4PH050357L
A chime will sound and the coasting
guide indicator will be displayed to
inform the driver when to take the foot
off the accelerator by anticipating a
decelerating event* based on the analy-
sis of driving routes and road conditions
stored in the navigation system. It
encourages the driver to remove the
foot from the pedal and allow coasting
down the road with EV motor only. This
helps preventing unnecessary fuel con-
sumption and increases fuel efficiency.
* Example of a deceleration event is
going down an extended hill, slowing
down approaching a toll booth, and
approaching reduced speed zones.
