Use of the gasoline engine
An advanced control system determines the dis-
tance that the vehicle can be driven using the
gasoline engine, electric motor or both at the
same time.
Its primary function is to use the motor/engine
and the current available in the hybrid battery as
efficiently as possible based on the characteris-
tics of the various drive modes and the power
output requested by the driver by pressing the
accelerator pedal.
In certain cases, temporary limitations in the sys-
tem or mandatory functions to help maintain a
low overall emissions level may result in greater
use of the gasoline engine.

Maintaining/increasing the hybrid
battery's charge while driving
In certain situations, it can be useful to control
the hybrid battery's charge level while the vehicle
is being driven. The hybrid battery functions
Hold and Charge while driving are available in
all drive modes.
The "Hold" and "Charge" function
buttons
These functions are activated from the center
display's Function view.
Hold
Battery level sustained for
later use.
This function saves the hybrid
battery's charge for use at a
later time such as when driving
in an urban area or residential
neighborhood.
Hold is available regardless of the
hybrid battery's charge level.
The vehicle will function as in normal hybrid driv-
ing and will use energy from e.g., regenerative
braking to support the gasoline engine.
