●When the Integrated Dynamics System is in SPORT+ mode.
● The vehicle momentarily needs additional power for aggressive acceleration, driving uphill, or driving at high speeds.
● The climate control system is in heavy use.
● The High Voltage battery temperature is high or low.
● The High Voltage battery state of charge is low.
● When the gear position is in

Sounds Unique to th e SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD ® System
When you first start driving this vehicle, you will likely hear so me unfamiliar sounds, particularly when you turn on the power system, or
while you are driving or accelerating from a stop. Some of thes e sounds are unique to this vehicle‘s powertrain, fuel, and climate control
systems; others are similar to sounds generated by conventional automobiles that typically are masked by louder noises absent f rom a
vehicle of this design.
These sounds are not a cause for concern, and you will soon recognize them as normal and thus be able to detect any new or unus ual noise
should one develop.
