TOYOTA HYBRID SYSTEM
FEATURES OF TOYOTA HYBRID SYSTEM
This system controls the following modes in order to achieve the most efficient operations to match the driving conditions.
(1) Supply of electrical power from the HV battery to motor generator no.2 provides force to drive the wheels.
(2) While the tires are driven by the engine via the planetary gears, motor generator no.1 is driven via the planetary gears to
supply electricity to motor generator no.2 to drive the wheels.
(3) When the vehicle is decelerating, kinetic energy from the wheels is recovered and converted into electrical energy and
used to recharge the HV battery by means of motor generator no.2.
The hybrid vehicle control ECU switches between these modes (1, 2, 1+2, or 3) according to the driving conditions.
However, when the state of charge of the HV battery is low, the HV battery is charged by the engine by turning motor
generator no.1.
CRUISE CONTROL OPERATION
Cruise control is the speed control device, which sets the desired speed by just operating the switch on the control panel
without pressing the accelerator pedal. This device is used when you would like to drive the vehicle at the fixed speed.
1. SET CONTROL
If you operate the SET/COAST switch when driving (The available range of set speed: between about 40 and 200 km/h) with
the main switch is ON (When power indicator comes on), the device memorizes vehicle's speed when switch is off and
controls the fixed speed.
2. SET SPEED CONTROL
This device compares the vehicle's running speed and the memorized speed, and controls the driving power of the motor
and the engine by calculating the cruise control requirements so that both speed become equivalent.
3. COAST CONTROL
If the SET/COAST switch is continued to be ON during the running with the cruise control, the device recognizes the cruise
control requirement is at 0 and decelerates the vehicle's speed. Then the device memorizes the speed when the switch is off
in order to control the fixed speed.
In each time you operate SET/COAST switch momentarily (For about 0.5 second), the memorized speed is decreased in
about 1.5 km/h. However, in case of the tap±down operation with more than 5±km/h gap between the memorized speed and
vehicle's running speed, the device memorizes the vehicle's speed when the switch is off and controls the fixed speed.
4. ACCEL CONTROL
If the RESUME/ACCEL switch is continued to be ON during the running with the cruise control, the device recognizes the
cruise control is on the acceleration side and accelerates the vehicle's speed. Then the running speed when the switch is off
is memorized to control the fixed speed.
In each time you operate RESUME/ACCEL switch momentarily (For about 0.5 second), the memorized speed is increased
in about 1.5 km/h. However, if there is more than 5±km/h gap between the memorized speed and vehicle's running speed,
this operation does not change the memorized speed. (Tap±up operation is not available.)
5. RESUME CONTROL
If the running speed is faster than the low speed limit after the cruise control is canceled manually, the fixed speed is
controlled by the OFF±ON operation of RESUME/ACCEL switch, so that the vehicle's speed returns to the memorized
speed at the time the cruise control is released.

Negative Camber
The front suspension adopts negative camber to reduce the ground contact camber angle of the outer wheel
at the time of turning (cornering), which is caused when the vehicle posture changes during cornering, thus
realizing excellent cornering performance.
Suspension Upper Support and Dust Cover
The upper support optimizes the characteris-
tics of the rubber mount. Also, a rebound stop-
per has been provided to ensure riding com-
fort, drivability, and stability.
A bound stopper made of urethane has been
adopted. By optimizing the stopper character-
istics and the clearance, excellent riding com-
fort and a high level of roll rigidity have been
achieved.
An upper insulator that is integrated with the
dust boot has been adopted.

Toe and Camber Change
In the torsion beam type suspension, the camber angle and the toe change differ between the same direction
stroke case and the opposite direction stroke case, offering both straightline stability and excellent cornering
stability.
1) Same Direction Stroke Case
Similar to the full-trailing arm type suspension, the axis that joins the center of the right and left trailing
arm bushings is the center of the movement.
2) Opposite Direction Stroke Case
During opposite direction stroke case, or if a difference in suspension travel is created between the right
and left wheels, the torsion beam twists with its shearing center as the center of its rotation.
Also, camber changes in relation to the suspension travel are determined by the ratio of the distance be-
tween the No.1 trailing arm bushing and the axle center and the shearing center (`a' in the Fig. below)
and distance between the No.1 trailing arm bushing and the axle beam (`L' in the Fig. below).
Consequently, through the optimal allocation of the axle beam, the changes in the camber angle in rela-
tion to the suspension travel have been optimized, thus ensuring excellent cornering performance.
Shock Absorber
Low-pressure (N
2) gas sealed shock absorbers that offer stable dampening force characteristics without
causing cavitation have been adopted.
The dampening force characteristics of the shock absorbers have been optimized to achieve excellent
riding comfort, drivability, and stability.

2) Regenerative Brake Cooperative Control
a. General
The regenerative brake cooperative control uses the switching valves and linear solenoid valves to regu-
late the hydraulic pressure that is supplied to the wheel cylinders. It also operates cooperatively with
the regenerative braking force that is generated in the MG2 in accordance with the master cylinder pres-
sure.
b. Apportioning of the Brake Force
The apportioning of the brake force between the hydraulic brake and the regenerative brake varies by
the vehicle speed and time.
The apportioning of the brake force between the hydraulic brake and the regenerative brake is con-
trolled so that the total brake force of the hydraulic brake and the regenerative brake matches the brake
force that the driver requires.
Imagery Drawing
c. Operation
Regenerative brake cooperative control is executed when the vehicle is driven in the shift position ªDº
or ªBº.
The master cylinder pressure that is generated when the driver presses on the brake pedal is detected
by the pressure sensor, and the brake ECU calculates the brake force request factor. A portion of the
brake force request factor is transmitted to the HV ECU in the form of a regenerative brake activation
request factor. The HV ECU executes generative braking by commanding the electric motor to generate
negative torque.
The brake ECU controls the opening of the linear solenoid valves, which are used for increasing / de-
creasing the hydraulic pressure, to regulate the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure in relation to the mas-
ter cylinder hydraulic pressure, thus compensating for the brake force that is not provided sufficiently
by the regenerative brake.
While the regenerative brake cooperative control is being prohibited due to an abnormality in the sys-
tem, or when the shift lever is in a position other than D or B, the regenerative braking force is not gener-
ated. At this time, only the hydraulic braking force is applied by turning ON (opening) the linear sole-
noid valve SLA and turning OFF (closing) the SLR.

4) Torque Sensor
A torque sensor that detects the torque that is input by the steering wheel has been mounted on the pinion
shaft. The torque sensor has been integrated with the pinion shaft, and the pinion shaft's input and output
shafts are linked via the torsion bar. Resistors for the torque sensor are mounted on the input shaft of the
pinion shaft, and contacts for the torque sensor are mounted on the output shaft of the pinion shaft. Oper-
ating the steering wheel causes the torsion bar to twist, creating a displacement between the pinnion
shaft's input and output. Two systems of torque sensors detect this displacement in the form of voltage
changes, which are then output to the EMPS ECU.
i) Straightline Driving
If the vehicle is driven straight and the driv-
er does not turn the steering, torque is not
generated in the pinion shaft's input shaft.
Thus, the torsion bar does not twist, and no
changes in resistance occur in the torque
sensor.
