Hybrid Features
Highlander Hybrid's instrumentation panel tells you more than just your speed. It tells you the mode you're driving in and lets you see how economically you're driving, as Hybrid Synergy Drive® employs the most efficient source of power. That's a smart way to go. EV mode is intended for instances when you're driving at very low speeds for short distances, inching your way out of a crowded underground parking garage, for example. When EV mode is available, Highlander Hybrid uses one of its electric motors. In EV mode, Highlander saves fuel, reduces noise and cuts emissions, since it's not using its gasoline engine at all. To help Highlander Hybrid operate economically in normal driving situations, there's ECON mode. Press the ECON button, then press down on the accelerator: Engine throttle response is modified, which helps reduce fuel consumption. ECON mode can also help when accelerating in low-traction situations like on snow-covered roads.
