- When your are rolling at a desired speed remove your foot from the gas pedal
- Wait until your Instantaneous (current) Fuel Consumption Display maxes out to 100 miles per gallons (or goes down to 0 liters / 100km) and that you see some regeneration (green lines on your ASST / REGEN display)
- Gently press on the gas pedal. Your aim is to eliminate the regeneration and (if possible) get a few lines of assist (1-3 lines of ASST).
- Let yourself glide! Please note that while gliding, you will gradually slow down
Oh, yeah, Don't press on the gas too far, because the gas engine will restart defeating the purpose of the glide.......and the 100+MPG readout.
