Predictive deceleration support
The system automatically stores and registers support points where the driver
always decelerates or stops based on pedal operation and the vehicle speed of the
driver.
The registered points are shown on the map as icons [ ] for use as predictive
deceleration support points. When the position of the vehicle approaches the
registered point, the icon changes to an emphasized [ ] icon.
Depending on the system or driving situation, the engine brake amount increases
after releasing the accelerator pedal.
As a result, the battery charge amount can be increased when decelerating or
stopping the vehicle to enhance fuel economy.

control
The system reads the road and traffic conditions ahead to efficiently control the
charging and discharging of the hybrid battery according to the actual driving
situation.
The capacity of the hybrid battery is limited. When it is fully charged, regeneration
cannot occur, and when the battery is depleted, it may be forcibly charged by the
engine. The system predicts these situations to adjust the battery charge level in
advance, effectively utilizing the battery.
INFORMATION
● The system operates when starting route guidance and the position of the vehicle is
along the guided route. (The system does not operate in parking lots, etc.)
● When multiple destinations are set the system will continue to operate to the last
destination.
Predictive EV Drive
The system automatically switches between EV driving and HV driving based on
data such as the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery), route
and traffic information to ensure that the vehicle efficiently uses electrical energy
from the traction battery.
Therefore, enhanced fuel economy is expected.
When the system operates it informs the driver about the benefit on the navigation
screen upon arrival at the destination.
