Hybrid System

■ Hybrid System Indicator

Displays the output and regenerative level of the

hybrid system.

● By keeping the indicate within the Eco area,

more fuel-efficient driving can be achieved.

● The Charge area indicates regeneration sta-

tus.

■ Regenerative braking

The motor generator converts kinetic energy to electric energy when:

● The accelerator pedal is released.

● The brake pedal is depressed with the shift lever in D or S.

■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sounds or vibrations even though the vehicle is able to move.

Always put the shift lever in P when parked.

The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating, and are

not a malfunction:

● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) under the rear seat when

the hybrid system starts or stops.

● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the back door is open.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid transmission when the engine is started or

stopped, or while the engine is idling.

● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed

and accelerator is loosened.

● Vibrations may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vents under the rear seat.

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional vehicles. Be

sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicles, and operate with care.

The hybrid system combines a gasoline engine and an electric motor (traction motor)

according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.

For details, refer to the “Owner's Manual”.
