energy flow for various operating modes can be displayed on the navigat\
ion system monitor. The

eneRGy fLOW MOde
This is a representative example of the energy
f low display. The energy flow display might vary,
depending on the operating condition of the
vehicle. The graphic does not reflect the actual

The energy flow will display:
When the vehicle is powered only by the electric (traction) motor.
When the vehicle is powered by both the electric (traction) motor and t\
he gasoline engine.
When the vehicle is powered only by the gasoline engine.
When the vehicle is regenerating and charging the high voltage battery.
