The coasting guide function informs 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 conditions 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 increases fuel efficiency.
Information
Example of a deceleration event is making a right/left turn, driving through a rotary, entering or exiting a highway (freeway), etc.
The driver can activate the coasting guide by placing the ignition switch in the ON position and by selecting:
• User settings
User Settings → Driver Assistance → Coasting Guide
For the explanation of the system, press and hold the [OK] button.
Operation conditions
To activate the system, take the following procedures. Enter your destination information on the navigation and select the driving route. Have the vehicle in ECO mode by driving the vehicle in D (Drive). Then, satisfy the following.
- The operational speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h).
Information
The operating speed may vary due to difference between instrument cluster and navigation effected by tire inflation level.
Information
Coasting guide is only a supplemental system to assist with fuel-efficient driving. Thus, the operating conditions may be different in accordance with traffic/road conditions (i.e. driving in a traffic jam, driving on a slope, driving on a curve). Thus, take the actual driving conditions into consideration, such as distances from the vehicles ahead/ behind, while referring to the coasting guide system as guidance.
Folding the rear seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded to facilitate carrying long items or to increase the luggage capacity of the vehicle.
WARNING
Never allow passengers to sit on top of the folded down seatback while the vehicle is moving. This is not a proper seating position and no seat belts are available for use. This could result in serious injury or death in case of an accident or sudden stop. Objects carried on the folded down seatback should not extend higher than the top of the front seatbacks. This could allow cargo to slide forward and cause injury or damage during sudden stops.
