Plug-in Hybrid EV SystemE00203500041Main features
E00203600143
It is operated as an electric vehicle in the EVdrive mode using the electrical power stored
in the drive battery, *1
according to the re-
maining amount of the drive battery. It is also
automatic control *2
for driving in series hy-
brid mode or parallel hybrid mode using en-
gine power from EV drive mode according to the driving condition or if the charging level
of the drive battery is decreased.
l With the high performance motor, noise
and vibration during driving is mini-
mized and powerful acceleration can al-
so be obtained.
l With the regenerative brake, the drive
battery is automatically charged when
the accelerator is released.
*1 If there is a remaining amount in the drive
battery, it is actively driven in the EV
drive mode. The cruising range varies de-
pending on the remaining charge in the drive battery, vehicle speed, and air condi-
tioner operating conditions.
*2 You can adjust the timing to switch to the
EV drive mode by using the battery save
mode switch. Refer to “Battery save mode switch” on page 7-27.l The vehicle can be charged from EV
charge power outlets (rated AC 220-240 V).
l Quick charging using CHAdeMO quick
charger (if so equipped) is available.
CHAdeMO is a standard for quick charging of electric vehicles originally
started in Japan, and the contents have
also become international standard.
EV drive mode
l The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
ing only electrical power stored in the drive battery. However, EV drive mode
is cancelled depending on the drive bat- tery level, vehicle speed, and air condi-
tioner operating conditions. Pay atten- tion to the following points: • Check the EV cruising range in the in-
formation screen. Refer to “EV cruis-
ing range display/Total cruising range display” on page 6-14.
• Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds
avoiding quick acceleration/decelera- tion. Repeated quick acceleration/deceleration causes the drive battery
level to decrease quickly, which ex- tremely reduces the EV cruising
range.
l If you want to drive the vehicle without
starting the engine as much as possible,
make the switch to the EV priority mode by pressing the EV switch.
Refer to “EV switch” on page 7-25.
Series hybrid mode
l The vehicle is driven by the motors us-
ing only the electricity generated by the engine. This mode is used when the drive battery level is low, at quick accel-
eration, or when power is required like
climbing uphill.
NOTEl While driving the Series hybrid mode, the
engine malfunction diagnostic system may operate.
If this system operates, the engine sound will
decrease. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
Parallel hybrid mode
l The vehicle is driven by the power of the
engine, assisted by motors. This mode is used during high-speed driving with bet-ter engine efficiency.

Regenerative braking
Motion energy is converted into electric ener-
gy using the motor as a power generator.
Then a braking force generates and converted electric energy will be charged to the drive
battery.
l If you lift your foot off the accelerator
pedal during driving, a braking force that
is equivalent to engine braking of a com- bustion engine vehicle will be generated.
Also, if you shift the select position into “B” (BRAKE) from “D” (DRIVE), ef-
fectiveness of the regenerative braking is getting stronger. Shift the selector lever into “B” (BRAKE) position according to
the driving condition.
l When you depress the brake pedal, the
regenerative braking force may be in-creased.
l If a problem occurs in the Plug-in hybrid
EV system, or if the ABS and/or the
ASC have been activated, the regenera- tive braking will be restricted. The foot brake will still operate.
l When stronger regenerative braking is
generated, the stop lamps will illuminate even when the brake pedal is not de- pressed.Operation of gasoline engine
E00203700098
l Even when the vehicle is driving in EV
drive mode, it may be automatically
changed to series hybrid mode or paral-
lel hybrid mode in the following cases: • The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• Quick acceleration is applied.
• The air conditioner is operating.
• The accelerator pedal is depressed
hard on an uphill road or expressway.
• In cold weather.
• The vehicle has not been refueled for
a long time.
• The drive battery level is low.
In addition to the above, there are more
cases where EV drive mode is automati-
cally changed to series or parallel hybrid mode.
l Even while the vehicle is stopped, the
engine may automatically be started in
the following cases: • The drive battery level is low.
• The plug-in hybrid EV system is too
hot or too cold.
• The air conditioner is used.
• The vehicle has not been used for a
long time.
• The engine has not been operated for a long time.
• Refuelling has not been performed for
a long time.
