Virtual Engine Sound System
(VESS)
The Virtual Engine Sound System
generates engine sounds for pedes-
trians to hear vehicle sound because
there is limited sound while electric
power is used.
What Does Regenerative
Braking Do?
It uses an electric motor when decel-
erating and braking and transforms
kinetic energy to electrical energy in
order to charge the high voltage bat-
tery.
Battery
The vehicle is composed of a high-
voltage battery that drives the
motor and air-conditioner, and an
auxiliary battery (12 V) that drives
the lamps, wipers, and audio sys-
tem.
The auxiliary battery is automati-
cally charged when the vehicle is in
the ready ( ) mode.
Hybrid system gauge
The hybrid system gauge indicates
whether the current driving condition
is fuel efficient or not.
CHARGE :
Shows that the energy made by
the vehicle is being converted
to electrical energy. (Regenerated
energy)
ECO :
Shows that the vehicle is being
driven in an Eco-friendly manner.
POWER :
Shows that the vehicle is exceeding
the Eco-friendly range.
When you start the hybrid
system with the shift lever in
P (Park), the " " indicator
illuminates on the instrument
cluster. The driver can drive
the vehicle, even when the
gasoline engine is off.
When you leave the vehicle,
you should turn OFF the vehi-
cle and place the shift lever in
P (Park). If you depress the
accelerator pedal by mistake,
or when the shift lever is not
in P (Park), the vehicle will
abruptly move, possibly
resulting in serious injury or
death.
