Some Special Characteristics
of the Hybrid Vehicle.
Hybrid vehicles sound different than
gasoline engine vehicles. When the
hybrid system operates, you may
hear a sound from the hybrid battery
system behind the rear seat. If you
apply the accelerator pedal rapidly,
you may hear a sound. when you
apply the brake pedal, you may hear
a sound from the regenerative brake
system. When the hybrid system is
turned off or on, you may hear a
sound in the engine compartment. If
you depress the brake pedal repeat-
edly when the hybrid system is
turned on, you may hear a sound in
the engine compartment. None of
these sounds indicate a problem.
They are normal characteristics of
hybrid vehicles.
When the hybrid system is turned
on, the engine may or may not start
immediately.This does not indicate a
malfunction. If the "READY" symbol
is on, the hybrid system is operating.
Even if the gasoline engine is off, you
can operate the vehicle.
