Plug-in hybrid system
The plug-in hybrid system operates in the following modes.
The multi-information display can be used to check which mode t he plug-in
hybrid system is currently being driven in. ( P. 213)
EV mode
When a sufficient amount of electricity is remaining after
charging
*1, EV driving is performed using electricity stored in the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
*2
When in EV mode, the EV drive mode indicator illuminates.
*1: The amount of remaining charge can be checked on the multi-informa- tion display etc. ( P. 224)
*2: Depending on the situation, EV driving may be canceled and bot h gaso-
line engine and electric motor are used. ( P. 93)

2-1. Plug-in hybrid system
EV auto mode (P. 8 8 )
When a sufficient amount of elect ricity for EV driving is remaining in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) after charging
*, the operation
mode can be switched to EV auto mode.
Switching to EV auto mode make powerful driving possible by usi ng
both the gasoline engine and elec tric motor in a driving condition
that requires large driving force, such as when passing a vehicle on
a highway or driving on a steep slope.
When in EV auto mode, the EV auto mode indicator illuminates.
*: The amount of remaining charge can be checked on the multi-informa- tion display etc. ( P. 224)
HV mode
When in HV mode, the vehicle is driven using both the gasoline
engine and electric motor. ( P. 90)
● If electricity needed for EV driving in EV mode or EV auto mode
is not remaining, the operation mode will be automatically
switched to HV mode.
● The operation mode can be switched to HV mode at any timing
by operating the switch to keep electricity for EV driving etc.
*
( P. 88). Switching to HV mode when driving on a highway or
when driving uphill is recommended in order to conserve battery
power.
When in HV mode, the EV drive mode indicator and EV auto mode i ndi-
cator turn off.
*: The EV driving range may reduce even after switching to HV mode.

Plug-in hybrid system
Hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode ( P. 89)
Electricity generated in the gas oline engine can be charged in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) by switching to the hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode wh en electricity needed for EV driv-
ing is not remaining.
*
● The system may not be able to switch to the hybrid battery (tra c-
tion battery) charge mode due to the state of the plug-in hybri d
system. ( P. 8 9 )
● Charging time differs depending on the driving state of the vehi-
cle when driving in hybrid batte ry (traction battery) charge mode.
When in the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode, the hybrid
battery charge mode indicator illuminates.
*: When in the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode, the hybrid
battery can be charged while driving. However, the gasoline eng ine runs
to charge the battery and fuel consumption becomes higher compa red
with driving in HV mode.
