THE BRAKE COACH

stop. It coaches you to brake in a manner
which maximizes the amount of energy
returned through the regenerative braking
system. The percentage displayed indicates
the regenerative braking eciency.

within “Settings”. This feature enables
your vehicle to learn frequent destinations
and automatically switch into electric
mode when approximately one-eighth of
a mile away.
EFFICIENCY LEAVES
The right vehicle information display
provides a visual representation of your
driving behavior. The leaves grow as driving
habits and eciency improve.
THE BATTERY GAUGE
This gauge appears on the le
information display screen
and provides:
Charge Fill that indicates the
amount of energy stored in
the high-voltage battery and
available for plug-in power
mode, and
Electric Range that estimates the amount
of battery energy that is currently available
based on your driving habits.
HIGH-VOLTAGE LITHIUM-
ION BATTERY SYSTEM
The battery pack does not require
regular service maintenance. The battery
compartment is located behind the rear
fold-down seats. Make sure you keep the
vented compartment free of any potential
obstructions. The battery pack should
only be serviced by an authorized electric
vehicle technician. Improper handling
can result in personal injury or death.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for
more details.
SILENT KEY START (SKS)
When you turn the ignition
on, your engine may not
sound like it has started
because your hybrid vehicle
is equipped with silent key
start (SKS). This fuel-saving
feature allows your vehicle to be
ready to drive without requiring your gas
engine to be running. Look for the ‘ready
to drive’ indicator light in your instrument
cluster . When the light illuminates, your
vehicle has been successfully started and is
ready to drive.
