ating mode. These modes include:

running.
• Auto Stop – The vehicle is stopped, the engine has been automatically turned off and is
ready to automatically restart when needed.
• Engine Power – The engine is providing the primary drive power for the vehicle.
• Hybrid Power – The eAssist electric motor is providing significant electrical assist to
the engine.
• Battery Charging – The eAssist electric motor is charging the high-voltage battery while
the vehicle is slowing down.
Driver Efficiency Gauge
The efficiency gauge assists you in driving efficiently. To maximize efficiency, attempt to
keep the pointer in the solid green zone in the middle of the gauge. The gauge moves
to the left when braking and to the right when accelerating. When either is done aggres-
sively, it is less efficient and the gauge will move farther away from the center. The eAssist
system's ability to capture energy while the vehicle is slowing down makes decelerating
very important for efficiency.
Climate Control Settings
