■ Use of EV System Indicator
Keeping the EV System Indicator within Eco area or Charge area
can help minimize consumption of the traction battery, allowing the
vehicle to drive in an Eco-friendly manner. (P. 107)
■ When braking the vehicle
Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.
■ Highway driving
● The 3 different possible driving ranges, displayed by the multi-
information display, are calculation results estimated by 3 differ-
ent calculation methods (P. 109). For driving in comfort, it will
be very helpful to check the possible driving range for highways
before entering highways.
