DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of

accidents.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood

alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are

drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking

driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your

perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,

and your judgment is impaired when you have been

drinking. Never drink and then drive.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

It is not recommended to leave the ignition switch in the

ACC position for extended periods of time. This will

discharge the 12-Volt battery and may degrade the bat-

tery life and/or prevent the vehicle from starting. For

information on using the vehicles accessories (radio,

video system or power outlets) refer to “Electrical Power

Outlets” in Section 3 of this supplement.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

HYBRID SYSTEM OPERATION

Your Hybrid vehicle combines the power of a gasoline

engine and electric motors to minimize fuel consumption

and emissions. This vehicle requires no special fuels and

never has to be plugged in to recharge. Understanding

the unique characteristics of your vehicle will help ensure

maximum performance and best fuel economy from your

vehicle.

Your Hybrid vehicle is also equipped with two electrical

voltage systems. A 12-Volt system which is used to power

the conventional electrical system and a high voltage

system which is used to power the motors in the 2-Mode

Hybrid Transmission as well as other high voltage sys-

tem components.

Hybrid Operation

Shifting

You must press the brake pedal fully before shifting out

of PARK. During this first brake application, the brake

system is undergoing a self-test function. The brake pedal

travel will be longer then usual. This is normal. Press

firmly on the brake to prevent rolling. Refer to “Regen-

erative Braking System” under “Hybrid Vehicle Unique

Operating Characteristics” in this Section for further

information.

Driving

When the “READY” light is illuminated the gas engine

can shut off automatically to save on fuel, and start

automatically to provide power when it is needed. While

coasting at low speeds, coming to a stop or standing still,

the gas engine will normally shut off and the vehicle will

operate on electric power only. Conditions that may

cause the gas engine to start up or remain running

include:

•

Moderate or rapid acceleration

•

Vehicle speed

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 7

•

Climbing a hill

•

Charge level of high voltage battery

•

Engine temperature, transmission temperature or

coolant temperature

•

Hybrid System malfunction (Hybrid service lamp on)

•

Tow/Haul activated

•

Hood is ajar

•

Shift lever position 2 or 1

NOTE: The gas engine can also automatically shut off

with the shift lever in PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE or

NEUTRAL.

Stopping In Traffic With Auto Stop/Start Function

The gas engine may shut off as you decelerate to a stop,

this is normal and will conserve fuel at idle. Restarting

the vehicle is not necessary.

When you desire to move forward with traffic flow,

simply press the accelerator pedal and continue acceler-

ating from idle up to your cruising speed. The gas engine

will restart and shut down again automatically when

commanded by the Hybrid System. Shutting down and

restarting (cycling) of the gas engine during low speed

traffic conditions less than 30 mph (48 km/h) is normal.

Re-Starting A Warm Engine

Your Hybrid vehicle is equipped with ⬙Silent Start⬙fuel

saving technology. The decision to enable the gas engine

on a restart is automatically determined by the Hybrid

System.

Under certain conditions, the gas engine will not start

(usually when restarting a warmed-up engine that has

recently been parked) when the ignition key is inserted

and turned to the START position. This is normal and is

considered a ⬙Silent Start⬙. When the ignition key is

released to the ON/RUN position you will observe the
