Economical driving
Drive economically and more environmentally
conscious by thinking ahead and avoiding
rapid starts and stops.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the cur-
rent traffic conditions.
To help achieve the greatest distance with the
lowest fuel consumption with Twin Engine,
observe the following:
Charge
Charge the vehicle regularly by plugging it
•
into an electrical outlet. Make it a habit to
always begin trips with the hybrid battery
fully charged.
Locate charging stations along your route.
•
If possible, choose parking spots with
•
charging stations.
.
NOTE
Charge the vehicle from the electricity grid
as often as possible!
Preconditioning
Whenever possible, precondition the vehi-
•
cle before driving by connecting the
charging cable to an electrical outlet.
Avoid parking the vehicle somewhere
•
where the interior will become too hot or
too cold while the vehicle is parked. If pos-
sible, park the vehicle in a climate-con-
trolled garage.
During a short drive after passenger com-
•
partment preconditioning, turn off the
passenger compartment fan or the air
conditioning in a hot climate.
If preconditioning is not possible when it
•
is cold outside, use seat and steering
wheel heating first. Avoid heating the
entire passenger compartment to reduce
the amount of current being taken from
the hybrid battery.
