How can I optimise m

fuel consumption? Give preference to Auto mode as it selects in the best wa
y
the "drivin

ener

source" to
u
se in order to reduce fuel consumption.
You should also adapt
y
our drivin

st

y
brid vehicles to
g
et the
best out of it, for example b

mode?
It is not ZEV mode but Auto mode that is the most appropriate for reducin
g
fuel
c
onsumption, as it selects the best "drivin
g
ener
gy
source".
ZEV mode
(
100% electric operation
)
can reduce fuel consumption in some cases. However,
r
echar

in
g
the traction batter
y
has an ener
gy
cost.
This is wh
y
we recommend usin

Auto mode more o
