Driving mode select switchDriving mode select switchThe driving modes can be selected to suit driving condition.Selecting a drive modeType AEach time the switch is pressed, the system changes between Power mode and Normal
mode.Normal modeProvides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and dynamic performance. Suitable
for normal driving.Power modeControls the transmission and hybrid system to provide quick, powerful acceleration.
Making it suitable for when agile driving response is desired, such as when driving
on roads with many curves.When the Power mode is selected, Power mode indicator comes on.Eco drive modeHelps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and improve fuel economy through
moderate throttle characteristics and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning
system (heating/cooling).Type BOperate the driving mode select switch forward or backward to select the desired driving
mode on the multi-information display.Normal modeProvides an optimal balance of fuel economy, quietness, and dynamic performance. Suitable
for normal driving.Sport modeControls the hybrid system to provide quick, powerful acceleration. Making it suitable
for when agile driving response is desired, such as when driving on roads with many
curves.Eco drive modeHelps the driver accelerate in an eco-friendly manner and improve fuel economy through
moderate throttle characteristics and by controlling the operation of the air conditioning
system (heating/cooling).Note:Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive modeEco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the air conditioning
system to enhance fuel efficiency. To improve air conditioning performance, perform
the following operations:Turn off eco air conditioning mode (Automatic air conditioning system)Adjust the fan speed (Setting the fan speedVehicles without DUAL mode air conditioning systemVehicles with
DUAL mode air conditioning system)Turn off Eco drive modeAutomatic deactivation of power modeIf the power switch is turned off after driving in power mode, the drive mode will
be changed to normal mode.
