Your vehicle's petrol engine automatically stops running during vehicle operation or restarts
while the vehicle is stationary when it is appropriate.
In the following cases, however, auto engine stop may not activate.
• The vehicle momentarily needs additional power for aggressive acceleration, or driving
uphill or at high speed.
• The climate control system is in heavy use.
• The High Voltage battery temperature is high or low.
• The High Voltage battery is too low on charge.
Predictive Eco Assist
Predictive Eco Assist helps you drive more economically to your destination during navigation
route guidance.
It predicts how much the high voltage battery can be charged by regenerative braking when
driving downhill on the way to the destination, and operates in EV mode as much as possible.
If there are any stops on the way to the destination, it works more effectively if they are set
as waypoints.

If you leave the suggested navigation route, Predictive Eco Assist may not function in a way
that is suitable for your route.
You can turn Predictive Eco Assist on and off in Vehicle Settings using the audio/information
screen.
