ECONOMICAL and SAFE OPERATION of Hybrid system
- Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not make "jack-rabbit" starts. Do not race between stoplights. Avoid
heavy traffic whenever possible. Always maintain a safe distance from other
vehicles so you can avoid unnecessary braking. This also reduces brake wear.
- The regenerative brake generates energy when the vehicle decelerates.

the hybrid battery.
- When the engine is running with the shift lever in N (Neutral), the hybrid
system cannot generate electricity. The hybrid battery cannot recharge with
the shift lever in N (Neutral).
