Eco-friendly driving tips
â—† Use of Eco Driving Indicator (vehicles with an automatic trans-
mission)
The Eco-friendly driving is possible by keeping the Eco Driving Indi-
cator light on and keeping the bar display of the Eco Driving Indica-
tor shown in the multi-information display within the Zone of Eco
driving. (ï‚®P. 118, 127)
â—† Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive your vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceler-
ation. Gradual acceleration and deceleration will help reduce
excessive fuel consumption.
â—† When braking
Observe conditions in front of and around the vehicle, and estimate
your stopping position. Release the accelerator pedal early and
continue coasting. Use the brake pedal to adjust your stopping
position. Make sure to operate the brake pedal gently.
â—† Delays
Repeated acceleration and deceleration, as well as long waits at
traffic lights, will lead to bad fuel economy. Check traffic reports
before leaving and avoid delays as much as possible.
â—† Highway driving
Control and maintain the vehicle at a constant speed. Before stop-
ping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release the
accelerator pedal and gently apply the brakes.
