Driving Pattern
- Start the engine.
- Hold the engine speed to 3,500 - 4,000 rpm in Park or neutral until the IMA battery level gauge (BAT) indicates full charge.
- Then, drive the vehicle with the accessories on (the blower MAX, the headlights ON, etc.). Without turning the ignition switch off, accelerate and decelerate repeatedly under conditions that use IMA assist until the IMA battery level gauge (BAT) indicates one segment.
- Drive the vehicle in this manner only if the traffic regulations and ambient conditions allow.
