Watch the Energy information screen on your car as you accelerate slowly from Stop.
See how the gas engine doesn't kick in til about 10 miles per hour? That's 'riding the hybrid'!
The basic trick is to accelerate slowly all the time. Keep the corner of your eye open for that sweet sweet arrow of success from the battery to the motor, and you'll be riding the hybrid at any speed.
- Power on the car, Cycle ODO/TRIP, stopping on ODO, Power off the car.
- Power on, within 6 seconds, hold ODO for at least 10 seconds.
- While still holding ODO, shift into Reverse and back into Park.
- b-on shows on speedometer display, press ODO to cycle to "b-off".
