1-4. Hybrid system

For safety and security
*
: This function can only be used in
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive (Predictive decelera-
tion support/Predictive SOC
control), refer to “NAVIGATION
AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM
OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■ Predictive deceleration sup-
port
When a predictive decelera-
tion support point registered
in the navigation system is
approached, the system turns
off the “Reference operation
range” ( ) of the ECO Accel-
erator Guidance (P.105) on
the multi-information display
and encourages the driver to
reduce excessive accelera-
tion.
After the accelerator pedal is
released, the engine braking
force will be increased
according to the driving condi-
tions to more efficiently
charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery).
■ Predictive SOC control
The following types of control
are performed based on data
such as road and traffic informa-
tion during route guidance by
the navigation system to help
ensure that the vehicle effi-
ciently uses electricity.
When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) level
before reaching the slope to
help ensure charging capacity
for regenerative braking while
traveling downhill.
When traffic congestion is
predicted along the route, the
system helps ensure a certain
battery level before reaching
congested roads to reduce
the frequency of starting the
engine to charge the hybrid
