- Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of fuel economy,
quietness, and dynamic performance.
Suitable for city driving.
Press the switch to change the normal
mode when not in normal mode.
- Eco drive mode
Helps 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).
When not in Eco drive mode, if the Driving
Mode Select switch is turned toward you,
the "Eco" indicator comes on.
- Sport mode
Controls the hybrid system to provide
quick, powerful acceleration. This mode is
suitable for when agile driving response is
desired, such as when driving on roads
with many curves.

Mode Select switch is turned away from
you, the "Sport" indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning system

Eco 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
- Adjust the fan speed
- Turn off Eco drive mode

enhancing fuel economy.

the following situations:
- When not in Eco drive mode
- When the brake pedal is depressed
