Economy
To maximize your fuel economy, use
the following settings (as indicated
by the green marking):
• Set the fan knob to AUTO.
• Set the air delivery knob
to AUTO.
• Select an air temperature setting
near 75°F (23°C).
• Select the Hybrid A/C button, if
A/C is required.
Avoid using these settings that may
lead to fewer auto stops and to
higher fuel consumption:
• Manual fan speed operation.
• Defrost mode. Only use this
setting to clear the windows.
• Extreme cold or hot air
temperature settings, such as
60°F (16°C) or 90°F (32°C).
• Normal air conditioning mode, if
A/C is required.
