Eco-friendly driving tips
◆ Using Eco drive mode
When using Eco drive mode, the torque corresponding to the accelerator
pedal depression amount can be generated more smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the operation of the air conditioning system (heating/
cooling) will be minimized, improving the fuel economy. (P. 314)
◆ Use of Eco Driving Indicator
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Eco Driving Indicator Light
on and keeping the bar display of the Eco Driving Indicator shown in the multi-
information display within the Zone of Eco driving. (P. 113)
◆ Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration.
Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce excessive fuel con-
sumption.
◆ When braking
Observe conditions in front of and around the vehicle, and estimate your
stopping position. Release the accelerator pedal early and continue coasting.
Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping position. Make sure to operate
the brake pedal gently.
◆ Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at traffic lights,
will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
For improved fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions, pay attention to the
following points:
