•Idling: The vehicle is running and in park(P). The engine and/or the high voltagebattery are on.
•Electric Driving: The vehicle is runningand in drive (D) or neutral (N). The highvoltage battery provides power to thewheels.
•Hybrid Driving: The vehicle is runningand in drive (D) or neutral (N). Theengine and the high voltage batteryprovide power to the wheels.
•Regenerative Braking: The vehicle isrunning in drive (D) and is slowingdown. Power captured by theregenerative braking system is sentback to the high voltage battery.
Engine On Due To
The following conditions help to explainwhy the engine is on, and what you can doto allow all electric operation.
•Drive Power: The engine is on due toaccelerator pedal pressure or speedcontrol activation. Reduce pressure onthe accelerator pedal or switch off thespeed control to return to full electricmode.
•High Speed: The engine is on becausethe vehicle speed exceeds the level forfull electric operation. Reduce thespeed to return to electric operation.
•Heater Setting: The engine is onbecause of the heater setting. Reduceor turn off the heater setting to returnto electric operation.
•Neutral Gear: The engine is on becausethe vehicle is in neutral (N). Shift outof neutral gear to return to electricoperation.
•Engine Cold: The engine is on becauseit is cold. The vehicle returns to electricoperation once the engine is sufficientlywarm.
•Battery Charging: The engine is on tocharge the high voltage battery. Thevehicle returns to electric operationonce the battery is charged.
•Low Gear: The engine is on becausethe vehicle is in low gear. Shift out oflow gear to return to electric operation.
•Normal Operation: The engine is on tooptimize vehicle operation. The vehiclereturns to electric operation whenpossible.
•Engine Braking Active: The engine is onto provide increased powertrainbraking. This can occur when you turnon grade assist, when speed control ison or when driving with your foot offthe accelerator pedal. Turning offgrade assist or speed control mayallow the vehicle to return to electricoperation.
•Battery Temperature: The engine is ondue to a high or low high voltagebattery temperature. This is a normaloperating condition. The vehicle returnsto electric operation when possible.
•Drive Mode: The engine is on due to thedrive mode selection. Select anappropriate drive mode for electric onlyoperation.
