Hybrid system features
WARNING
Some of the co mponen ts of the
hybrid system (e.g., high voltage
battery, electric motor, etc.) are high
voltage parts. To avoid serious in-
jury or death, carefully read the
following descriptions.
Your vehicle is equipped with a hybrid
system. The main power source for this
hybrid system is the engine though
depending on t he cir cumstances, the
electric motor may assist the power of
the engine. By controlling the interaction
of the engine and the electric motor, a high
level of performance, improved fuel econ-
omy, and a reduction in exhaust emissions
are achieved.
& General information for stop-
ping/restarting of the engine
and electric motor
NOTE
For details about the procedure for
starting the hybrid system, refer to
“Starting and stopping the hybrid sys-
tem” F7-8.
The engine will be automatically stopped
or restarted depending on the conditions
of the vehicle.
When starting:
The engine is used to start the vehicle
moving. However, when the accelerator
pedal is depressed lightly, the engine may
remain stopped and the electric motor
may be used to start the vehicle moving.
When accelerating gradually or driving
at a constant speed:
. When the vehicle speed is less than 25
mph (40 km/h), it is possible to drive using
only the power of the el ectric moto r.
However, when driving in reverse, the
engine will restart at a speed slower than
that experienced when the vehicle is
moving forward.
. When the vehicle speed is 25 mph (40
km/h) or more, the electric motor power
assists the engine power. However, when
driving uphill, if it is more efficient to drive
using engine power alone, the electric
motor may not operate.
When accelerating sharply:
The power of the electric motor is added to
that of the engine.
When driving using electric m otor
power alone and then accelerating:
The engine is restarted and the power of
the electric motor is added to that of the
engine.
When braking:
The engine is stopped. The electric motor
is used as a generator by using the
rotation of the wheels and this charges
the high voltage battery.
When the vehicle has been stopped:
The engine is stopped temporarily. De-
pending upon conditions, this may also
occur before a complete stop has been
achieved.
Depending on the position of the transmis-
sion select lever and the mode of the
climate control, the engine and the electric
motor are controlled as follows.
