In Brief 1-3 Fuel Economy Gauge This gauge shows when the vehicle is operating at a fuel efficient point. Driving behavior that improves fuel efficiency makes the fuel indicator move to the high efficiency band on the fuel gauge. See Fuel Economy Gauge on page 5‑3 for more information. Auto Stop The vehicle has an Auto Stop feature. After a successful engine start, the engine may turn off and operate in the Auto Stop mode. Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until you are ready for the vehicle to move. Engine OFF and AUTO STOP modes are indicated on the tachometer display. When the tachometer needle indicates OFF, the engine is not running and will remain off until the ignition key is placed in the START position or a remote vehicle start is performed. When the tachometer needle indicates AUTO STOP, the hybrid system is on, the engine is not running, but may Auto Start at any time without notice. See Tachometer on page 5‑3 for more information. Automatic Engine Start/ Stop Feature Metric Start the engine as you would any other engine. See "Starting the Engine" in the owner manual for more information on starting. The hybrid system provides very quiet engine starting. If pulling a trailer with trailer brakes, see Trailer Towing on page 9‑16 for more information. English
