Any tips for CVT hypermiling??

If its like my Prius' push button start you should be able to get accessory mode by just pressing the start button, but not pushing the brake down and pushing the start button (which is required to actually start the car). I'd be completely shocked if the car had absolutely no accessory mode.
For accelerating with a CVT stick it at an efficient rpm and keep it there. That means generally around 1500 - 2500 rpm. Coast when possible, avoid brake use, the norm really except for accelerating.
