Quick Reference Guide
● Regenerative Energy and Regenerative Braking
When decelerating without the accelerator being depressed or the brake pedal being applied, or
while driving downhill, the electric motor acts as a generator that recovers a portion of the
electrical energy that was used to accelerate the vehicle. This regenerative braking slows the
vehicle in a manner similar to engine braking in a gasoline-powered vehicle. This function is
enhanced when the shift lever is moved to .
● Gasoline engine operation may interrupt EV mode
Under some conditions, the engine drives the generator to provide additional electricity for the electric motor, even if the vehicle is in EV
mode with the High Voltage battery fully charged. The mode automatically switches to HV when:
• Vehicle momentarily needs additional power for aggressive acceleration, or driving uphill or at high speed.
• Climate control system is in heavy use.
• The High Voltage battery temperature is high or low.
There are other circumstances that may also automatically cancel the EV mode. When any of these conditions change, EV mode
automatically resumes.
● Auto Engine Stop/Start
The gasoline engine may stop running and/or restart during vehicle operation. If it shuts off while the vehicle is stationary, under certain
conditions, the electric motor may be the only power required to continue driving the vehicle.
● Range Display (P 100, 180)
When the system automatically switches the drive modes, the driving range value displayed on the multi-information display and audio/
information screen also changes.
